SYMPTOMS

When you install or deploy Microsoft Office XP, the Setup program may require that you restart the computer. You must have administrative credentials to complete the installation.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, use the REBOOT=ReallySuppress command-line property to let the installation to run without intervention. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
2. At the command prompt, type the following command line, and then press ENTER:

   start /wait AdminPath\MSI File REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qb /L*V C:\install.txt

   Note In this command line, AdminPath is the path of your administrative installation point of Office XP, and MSI File is the Microsoft Windows Installer (.msi) package for Office XP--for example, Proplus.msi.
