How to Install Office XP on Windows 2000 with Terminal Services Enabled
To install Office on a computer running Windows 2000 Server with Terminal Services enabled, follow these steps:
 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
 * 2) Double-click Add/Remove Programs, click Add New Programs, and then click CD or Floppy.
 * 3) Click Next.
 * 4) Click Browse.
 * 5) Browse to the root folder of the Office source location, click Setup.exe, and then click Open.

Setup.exe is added to the command line that is displayed in the Open box of the Run Installation Program dialog box.
 * 1) Click Finish to run Office XP Setup.
 * 2) Type your customer and product key (CD key) information in the appropriate boxes, and then click Next.

Note The Next button is unavailable until you type a product key.
 * 1) Accept the End User License Agreement, and then click Next.
 * 2) Specify the location where you want to install Office, and then click Next.
 * 3) On the Choose which applications for setup to install page, select the check boxes next to the Office programs that you want to install, clear the check boxes next to the Office programs that you do not want to install, and then click Next.

If you click Choose detailed installation options for each application on the Choose which applications for setup to install page and then click Next, the feature tree is displayed on the Choose installation options for all Office applications and tools page. Because Office Setup detects that you are using Terminal Services, the only installation states that are available are Not Available and Run from My Computer. By default, some features are set to Not Available. Do not change the installation states of these features to Run from My Computer, because you may experience problems with the Office programs that use these features.

Note If your Office source location is an administrative installation, Run from Network is also displayed as an installation state.
 * 1) On the Begin installation page, click Install.
 * 2) When you receive a message that the installation completed successfully, click OK, click Next, and then click Finish.
