-<title>MS Office Setup reports "Cannot change properties of '\MSOFFICE\SETUP.INI'"</title>
-<para>
-When installing MS Office on a Samba drive for which you have admin
-user permissions, ie. admin users = username, you will find the
-setup program unable to complete the installation.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-To get around this problem, do the installation without admin user
-permissions The problem is that MS Office Setup checks that a file is
-rdonly by trying to open it for writing.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Admin users can always open a file for writing, as they run as root.
-You just have to install as a non-admin user and then use "chown -R"
-to fix the owner.

-<title>How to use a Samba share as an administrative share for MS Office, etc.</title>
-
-<para>
-Microsoft Office products can be installed as an administrative installation
-from which the application can either be run off the administratively installed
-product that resides on a shared resource, or from which that product can be
-installed onto workstation clients.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-The general mechanism for implementing an adminstrative installation involves
-running <command>X:\setup /A</command>, where X is the drive letter of either CDROM or floppy.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-This installation process will NOT install the product for use per se, but
-rather results in unpacking of the compressed distribution files into a target
-shared folder. For this process you need write privilidge to the share and it
-is desirable to enable file locking and share mode operation during this
-process.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Subsequent installation of MS Office from this share will FAIL unless certain
-precautions are taken. This failure will be caused by share mode operation
-which will prevent the MS Office installation process from re-opening various
-dynamic link library files and will cause sporadic file not found problems.
-</para>

-<listitem><para>
-As soon as the administrative installation (unpacking) has completed
-set the following parameters on the share containing it:
