Can I create a file with the product code to install Office XP?

[Bruce]

I have a system that I have been having to reinstall and reinstall....
Getting OLD! (working with the manufacture to resolve this but....)

I remember in the past that I was able to create a "script" file that
contained the product code. Can this still be done? How? I would like to all
do a COMPLETE install, not express.

Can this be done with Front Page 2k?
What would be the best order to load? FrontPage and then Office? Or vice
versa? and when should I do UPDATE from MS? between installs, or after both?

Help!!!!

Depending on your version of Office, you can use tools from the Office
Resource kit to create your installation files from a server or second hard
drive.

Hi Bruce,

I think you can use "setup.exe /a" to create a Office Admin pack for later
installation. I guess the script file you mentioned is the MST file which
can be used to deploy Office to domain users.

Hope it helps.
