How do I Install Office XP to Run from CD?

S

StudioSaluki

I need to install Office XP so it will run from CD. I cannot install the
program first and then change the program's installaton type through the
Add/Remopve feature as was suggested in one article I read. Due to our
company's support policies, I want to install as few files as possible on the
hard drive. When I try to do a custom installation, the 'Run from CD' and
'Run All from CD' options are not available. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Office XP has the 'run from CD' option disabled.
The files needed are in compressed .cab files rather
than in files that can be used directly.

The change was part of reducing the number of CDs from
what was used in prior Office editions.
