Specifying a Destination Group for Batch/Quiet Mode Setup

MORE INFORMATION

1. Make a copy of the SETUP.STF file in the administrative setup of Microsoft Office, then open the copy in Microsoft Excel.
2. Select cell A1 and choose Replace from the Edit menu in Microsoft Excel versions 5.0 or 7.0. (If you are using Microsoft Excel version 4.0, choose Replace from the Formula menu.)
   
   NOTE: Microsoft Excel 4.0 should not be used to make modifications to the SETUP.STF file for Microsoft Office for Windows 95.
3. For Microsoft Office for Windows 95 in the "Find What" box, type <Microsoft Office> (include both angle brackets < >). In the "Replace With" box, type the group name you want Microsoft Office and its applications installed to. Enclose this name in angle brackets: <Group Name>. After you enter the group name in the appropriate manner, choose Replace All.
   
   For Microsoft Office 4.x, enter "Microsoft Office" (include the quotation marks). In the "Replace With" box, type the group name you want Microsoft Office and its applications installed to. Enclose this name in quotation marks. After you enter the group name in the appropriate manner, choose Replace All.
   
   IMPORTANT: The group name you type in the "Replace With" box MUST be enclosed in quotation marks for Microsoft Office 4.x (for example, "Office 4.3") or angle brackets for Microsoft Office 7.0 (for example, <Office 7.0>). If those additional characters are omitted, Setup fails to complete successfully.
   
   Microsoft Excel changes each occurrence of "Microsoft Office" or <Microsoft Office> in the copy of SETUP.STF. If you are using Microsoft Office 4.x, please note that the Microsoft Office Manager (MOM) icon is labeled "Microsoft Office", and is renamed when you perform the global search and replace. This does not apply to Microsoft Office 7.0.
4. To change the label for the icon back to "Microsoft Office", do the following:
   
   
   1. In the copy of SETUP.STF, select column A (press F5, and in the Reference box in the Goto dialog box, type "A:A" [without the quotation marks] and choose OK).
   2. With the column selected, click Find on the Edit menu (in Microsoft Excel 4.0, click Find on the Formula menu).
   3. In the Find What box, type the appropriate number from the table below) for the version of Office that you are using, and then click the Find Next button:

               Version of Office   Type this number
               -----------------   ----------------
      
                    4.3                 4993
                    4.2                 5190
           
      								

      Microsoft Excel finds a line in the STF resembling the following:

      Mom ProgMan AddProgmanItem "Office 4.3", "Office 4.3", "%s\msoffice.exe", ""

      The second argument in this line is the icon label (that is, the second occurrence of "Office 4.3", in this case).
   4. Change the icon label argument from "Office 4.3" to "Microsoft Office" as in the following example:

      Mom ProgMan AddProgmanItem "Office 4.3", "Microsoft Office", "%s\msoffice.exe", ""

      Note that in the STF this entry appears on one single line.
5. Save the file as a tab-delimited text file.
