SUMMARY
The Office 2000 SR-1 Update Setup program accepts a number of optional command-line switches that you can use to control how the Setup program operates. This article lists the switches and describes the functionality of each switch.



MORE INFORMATION
Important Notes  Switches are not case sensitive; for example, /V is the same as /v. When using multiple switches, separate them with a blank space. For example, use the following command line to generate a verbose log file:

Setup /L2 c:\logfile.txt /v



The following table lists the Setup switches: Switch      Description --  --- /D           Detection mode. Causes Setup to detect which updates can be applied to the client computer, or lists what updates have already been installed or downloaded. The results are either displayed in a log file, if logging has been specified, or in a dialog box.

/L1         Logging level 1. Adds details to the log file for each step of the Setup process for SR-1. This option does not turn on Windows Installer logging.

/L2         Logging level 2. Adds the same details as the /L1 switch and in addition, adds details on the process carried out by the Windows Installer. This is the default setting.

/V          Verbose logging. Includes a log entry for each feature and component the installation package may install. You must use the verbose logging switch in conjunction with either the /L1 or /L2 switch.

{log        A specific log file name you can specify in combination filename}   with the /L1 or /L2 switch. The default log file names are "Office 2000 SR1 Setup(000n).txt" for the update Setup program and "Office 2000 Sr1 Setup(000n) MsiExec.txt" for the Windows Installer. You need to use quotation marks around the file name if there are spaces within the name that you specify at run time.

/QN         Quiet mode - no user interface or interaction. When you run Setup in quiet mode, no progress dialog boxes or             selection dialog boxes are displayed, and you do not have the ability to cancel the installation. If you are using quiet mode, make sure that Setup is completed before restarting the computer. You cannot install Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 in quiet mode.

/QF         Quiet mode - full user interface. This is the default setting. It gives you full control of the patching process and access to all dialog boxes. You cannot install Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 in quiet mode.

/QB         Quiet mode - basic user interface. Causes Setup to display a process dialog box and critical Windows Installer information requests. You cannot install Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 in quiet mode.
