Microsoft Project for Windows, version 4.0

SUMMARY

The following information discusses Microsoft Project Setup, including how to change your working directory after a workstation installation, incorrect information in the SETUP.WRI file, and the files that are installed with the different installation types. This information is contained in the following sections:

Changing Working Directory on Server After Workstation Installation

Files Installed with Each Installation Type

Changing Working Directory on Server After Workstation Installation

When you perform a workstation installation of Microsoft Project, your Microsoft Project working directory is set to the directory on the network server instead of the directory to which you installed Microsoft Project on the workstation.

CAUSE

When you run the Microsoft Project Setup program, the default directory (working directory) is set to the directory to which you installed the application. For example, if you installed Microsoft Project to C:\WINPROJ, the directory that is selected in the Directories list when you open or save files is C:\WINPROJ.

However, when you perform a workstation installation so that you are running Microsoft Project from a network server, the working directory is set to the network server directory as well.

WORKAROUNDS

To change the working directory for Microsoft Project, use any of the following methods.

Method 1: If you start Microsoft Project using the Program Manager icon:

At Program Manager, click the Microsoft Project icon to select it.

From the File menu, choose Properties.

In the Working Directory box, enter the path for your working directory.

Choose OK.

When you run Microsoft Project by double-clicking the icon, the working directory will be the directory that you entered in the Properties dialog box.

Method 2: If you start Microsoft Project using the button on the Microsoft Office Manager (MOM) toolbar, do the following:

From the Microsoft Office menu, choose Customize.

Select either the Menu tab or the Toolbar tab.

Select Microsoft Project from the list of applications, and choose the Edit button.

In the Working Directory box, enter the working directory.

Choose OK to accept the changes.

Choose OK to close the Customize dialog box.

When you run Microsoft Project by choosing the Microsoft Project icon on the MOM toolbar, or by choosing Microsoft Project from the Microsoft Office menu, the working directory will be the directory you enter in the Customize dialog box.

Q113820 Working Directory on Server After Workstation Install

INCORRECT NETWORK INSTRUCTIONS IN SETUP.WRI

Microsoft Project version 4.0 ships with the file SETUP.WRI, which contains information on setting up and using Microsoft Project on a network. A section in this file, "Customizing Microsoft Project for Windows Installation for All Workstations," lists modifications you must make to the SETUP.STF file in order to run the Setup program in batch mode. However, when you run Setup with the modifications outlined in the SETUP.WRI file, one of the following symptoms may occur:

Setup installs a Typical installation even though you chose the Workstation installation option.

Setup quits and you receive the error message "Microsoft Project 4.0 Setup was not completed successfully."

Setup quits and you receive the error message "Object ID x Invalid Destination Directory field: <drive\directory>," where x is the line number and <drive/directory> is the drive and path where you chose to install Microsoft Project.

Setup runs and displays the message indicating that Setup was successful, but Setup does not create Program Manager icons. Also, only the SETUP.STF file is copied to the workstation.

Below is a corrected version of the "Customizing Microsoft Project for Windows Installation for All Workstations" section of the SETUP.WRI file. This corrected version contains the necessary steps to create a SETUP.STF script that allows the Setup program to run unattended.

Customizing Microsoft Project for Windows

You can create an installation script to control how Setup installs Microsoft Project so that workstation users can run Setup unattended. With a script, you can:

Perform a complete installation automatically, without input from the user.

Control which type of installation [Typical, Complete/Custom, Laptop (minimum), or Workstation] you want Setup to perform.

Specify the directory in which to install Microsoft Project.

Ensure that all installations in a workgroup are the same.

To customize an installation script, do the following:

Before you can create custom installations for end users, you must install Microsoft Project on your network file server. See "Installing Microsoft Project for Windows on a Network" above (this refers to running SETUP.EXE with the /a switch: a:setup/a).

Make a copy of the SETUP.STF file in the directory in which you installed Microsoft Project, and then rename the copy of SETUP.STF to SETUPSTF.BAK to preserve the original installation options.

Open SETUP.STF in any spreadsheet application, word processor, or text editor. It is easiest to work with the file in a spreadsheet application, such as Microsoft Excel.

NOTE: SETUP.STF is a tab-delimited file.

Locate the following installation options in the third column

(the 3rd column, 31st row):

Typical
Complete/Custom
Laptop (Minimum)
Workstation


   The word "Yes" should be next to Typical in column 2. This is the
   default option.

Type "yes" in the column to the left of the type of installation you want (without quotation marks). The other options should be blank, or "no."

If you select Complete/Custom, you can then specify which of the options get installed in rows 40-43 of column 2:

Microsoft Project
Online Help, Examples and Demos
Tools
Sample Templates

If you do not want Microsoft Project installed to the default "C:\WINPROJ" directory, then search for "C:\WINPROJ", and substitute the DRIVE\DIRECTORY that you want Microsoft Project installed to and leave all other information intact. If you are editing this file in Microsoft Excel, this information can be found in cell F24.

If you have chosen to install the Workstation option in step 5, search for the line that says "Batch Mode Root Object ID." In the adjacent column, (the 2nd column, 19th row) replace the value that says "5:01" with "6:01" (without quotation marks). If you are editing this file in Microsoft Excel, this information can be found in cell B19.

Save the file. Be sure and save it in text-only format.

When you run Setup, you must use the /q switch. The following table lists other switches you can use along with the /q switch:


    Switch  Definition  Used for                      Example
    ------------------------------------------------------------------
    /n      username    This is used to force the     /n "Bill Jones"
                        user name.

    /t      tablename   This is used to substitute    /t "MINIMAL.STF"
                        the name of the new script
                        for tablename.

Q115294 Project: SETUP.WRI Has Incorrect Network Instructions

TOO MANY FILES INSTALLED ON LOCAL WORKSTATION

When you perform a workstation installation of Microsoft Project, the sample template files and the sample macro files are copied to the PROJECT directory. These files should not be located in the PROJECT directory; the only file that should be copied in this directory is the SETUP.STF file.

The SETUP.STF file that is created when you run an administrative installation (setup /a) of Microsoft Project has an incorrect entry that causes the Setup program to place the sample template files and the sample macro files [approximately 2 megabytes (MB) worth] in the PROJECT directory.

WORKAROUND

To avoid having the workstation installation copy the sample template files and the sample macro files to your Microsoft Project directory, do the following:

Make a copy of the SETUP.STF file in the directory to which you installed Microsoft Project, and then rename the copy of SETUP.STF to SETUPSTF.BAK to preserve the original installation options.

Open SETUP.STF in any spreadsheet application, word processor, or text editor. It is easiest to work with the file in a spreadsheet application, such as Microsoft Excel.

NOTE: SETUP.STF is a tab-delimited file.

Search for the line that reads "Workstation Local." In the third adjacent column, (the 5th column, 36th row) replace the value "17 18 19 20" with "17 18" (without quotation marks). If you are editing this file in Microsoft Excel, this information is located in cell F36.

Save the SETUP.STF file. Run the setup program SETUP.EXE from the directory to which you installed Microsoft Project.

NOTE: Before you can create custom installations for other users, you must install Microsoft Project on your network file server. See the SETUP.WRI file for more information about running SETUP.EXE with the /a switch (drive\setup /a).

For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Q118770 Project: Too Many Files Installed Local Workstation

NOTE: In the "About Licensing a Server" section of SETUP.WRI, the steps in "To license a server" are incorrect. You can safely ignore the steps in this section.

FILES INSTALLED WITH EACH INSTALLATION TYPE

Microsoft Project has four types of installations: Typical, Laptop(or Minimum), Workstation, and Complete/Custom. The table below shows the total hard disk space required for each installation type.


                  Total:      Total: Files in      Total: Files
