SYMPTOMS
When running setup in batch (quiet) mode, for Outlook 97, standalone version, you may get the following error message:

Setup does not support being run in this mode



CAUSE
Outlook 97, standalone version, is not delivered with a batch or quiet mode Setup option.



RESOLUTION
You can add this capability by modifying the default Outlook.stf file.

To modify the Outlook.stf file for quiet mode operation, do the following:
 * 1) Backup the Outlook.stf file.
 * 2) Open the Outlook.stf file in WordPad.
 * 3) On the Edit menu, click Find.
 * 4) In the Find What box, type Batch Mode Root Object ID, and click Find Next.

NOTE: If no match is found above, search for Network Mode Root Object ID. After the find, press the END key followed by ENTER to create a new line. Type Batch Mode Root Object ID, on this new line.
 * 1) Place your cursor after the "D" in "ID" and press the TAB key.
 * 2) Type 12 : 1.
 * 3) Close and Save the Outlook.stf file as a text file.

You should now be able to run the standalone Outlook Setup in quiet mode using the /q switch.
