SUMMARY
The Microsoft Office 97 SR-1 Patch accepts a number of optional switches that you can use to control how the Setup program operates. This article lists the switches and describes the functionality of each switch.



Setup Switches
The following table lists the Setup switches you can use with SR-1.

NOTE: Switches are not case sensitive. For example, typing "/Q" (without the quotation marks) is the same as typing "/q" (without the quotation marks).

Using the Setup Switches
To use command-line switches with the patch, follow these steps:  If you downloaded the patch from the Microsoft Web site, download the Sr1off97.exe file to your hard disk without running it.

If you are using the patch from a CD or a floppy disk, run the program on the original media or copy it to your hard disk first. Under Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows NT Workstation 4.0, click Run on the Start menu, and then type the path and file name for Sr1off97.exe followed by the command-line switches you want to use. For example, use the following syntax:

 \sr1off97.exe / 

Under Windows NT Workstation 3.51, click Run in the Program Manager or on the File menu in File Manager, and then type the path and file name for Sr1off97.exe followed by the command-line switches you want to use. For example, use the following syntax:

 \sr1off97.exe / 

For example, if you downloaded the patch to the Temp folder on drive C, type the following

c:\temp\sr1off97.exe /q /c:"sr1off97.exe /q"

to run the installer with a minimum number of prompts. By using this option you will receive progress and restart messages.
