+><P
+>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.</P
+><P
+>The general mechanism for implementing an adminstrative installation involves
+running <B
+CLASS="COMMAND"
+>X:\setup /A</B
+>, where X is the drive letter of either CDROM or floppy.</P
+><P
+>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.</P
+><P
+>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.</P
