In some situations, Microsoft Office Setup may need to be started manually in order for the set up to be completed successfully. This may be required if you want to install Microsoft Office on a removable drive.

To manually start the Microsoft Office Setup routine, do the following:  For Microsoft Office for Windows 4.x, exit Windows. At the MS-DOS prompt, type MD ~SETUP at the root level of the C: drive to create a directory.

For Microsoft Office for Windows 95, go to the MS-DOS prompt and type MD ~MSSTFQF.T at the root level of the C: drive to create a directory. Switch to the drive that contains Disk 1 of Microsoft Office by typing, A: where A is the appropriate floppy disk drive. If you have Microsoft Office version 4.2, decompress the following files by typing the command lines at the prompt:

'''decomp _mssetup.ex_ c:\~setup\_mssetup.exe

decomp acmsetup.ex_ c:\~setup\acmsetup.exe

decomp acmsetup.hl_ c:\~setup\acmsetup.hlp

decomp mscpydis.dl_ c:\~setup\mscpydis.dll

decomp mssetup.dl_ c:\~setup\mssetup.dll

decomp xlsetup.tt_ c:\~setup\xlsetup.ttf

decomp wwsetup.tt_ c:\~setup\wwsetup.ttf

decomp excel_bb.dl_ c:\~setup\excel_bb.dll

decomp off42_bb.dl_ c:\~setup\off42_bb.dll

decomp word_bb.dl_ c:\~setup\word_bb.dll

decomp setup.st_ c:\~setup\setup.stf

decomp setup.in_ c:\~setup\setup.inf

decomp odbcinst.dl_ c:\~setup\odbcinst.dll'''

If you have Microsoft Office version 4.3, decompress the following files by typing the command lines at the prompt:

'''decomp _mssetup.ex_ c:\~setup\_mssetup.exe

decomp acmsetup.ex_ c:\~setup\acmsetup.exe

decomp acmsetup.hl_ c:\~setup\acmsetup.hlp

decomp mscpydis.dl_ c:\~setup\mscpydis.dll

decomp mssetup.dl_ c:\~setup\mssetup.dll

decomp xlsetup.tt_ c:\~setup\xlsetup.ttf

decomp wwsetup.tt_ c:\~setup\wwsetup.ttf

decomp acsetup.tt_ c:\~setup\acsetup.ttf

decomp excel_bb.dl_ c:\~setup\excel_bb.dll

decomp off43_bb.dl_ c:\~setup\off43_bb.dll

decomp pp4_bb.dl_ c:\~setup\pp4_bb.dll

decomp word_bb.dl_ c:\~setup\word_bb.dll

decomp msacahbb.dl_ c:\~setup\msacahbb.dll

decomp setup.st_ c:\~setup\setup.stf

decomp setup.in_ c:\~setup\setup.inf

decomp odbcinst.dl_ c:\~setup\odbcinst.dll'''

If you have Microsoft Office for Windows 95, extract the following files by typing the command lines at the prompt:

'''extract msoff1.cab /L c:\~msstfqf.t acmsetup.exe

extract msoff1.cab /L c:\~msstfqf.t acmsetup.hlp

extract msoff1.cab /L c:\~msstfqf.t mssetup.dll

extract msoff1.cab /L c:\~msstfqf.t setup.stf

extract msoff1.cab /L c:\~msstfqf.t off95std.inf

extract msoff1.cab /L c:\~msstfqf.t odbccp32.dll

extract msoff1.cab /L c:\~msstfqf.t odbcint.dll

extract msoff1.cab /L c:\~msstfqf.t ffast_bb.dll

extract msoff1.cab /L c:\~msstfqf.t odbcstf.dll

extract msoff1.cab /L c:\~msstfqf.t odbckey.inf

extract msoff1.cab /L c:\~msstfqf.t msvcrt20.dll

extract msoff1.cab /L c:\~msstfqf.t off95_bb.dll

extract msoff1.cab /L c:\~msstfqf.t offsetup.ttf

extract msoff1.cab /L c:\~msstfqf.t off95inv.dll

copy setup.ini c:\~msstfqf.t

copy setup.tdf c:\~msstfqf.t'''

 After decompressing/extracting the appropriate files, restart Microsoft Windows. For Microsoft Office for Windows 4.x, in Program Manager, click Run on the File menu. On the command line, type the following, and click OK:

C:\~setup\acmsetup /T setup.stf

For Microsoft Office for Windows 95, click Run on the Start menu and type the following command:

C:\~msstfqf.t\acmsetup /T setup.stf /S a:\



Microsoft Office Setup should now start and proceed normally through the setup routine.

TIP: You can create a batch file containing the above commands, and then run this batch file on individual workstations.
