+Subject: Using a Samba share as an administrative share for MS Office, etc.
+
+Problem:
+========
+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.
+
+The general mechanism for implementing an adminstrative installation involves
+running:
+ X:\setup /A, where X is the drive letter of either CDROM or floppy
+
+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.
+
+Subsequent installation of MS Office from this share will FAIL unless certain
+procautions are taken. The failure will be caused by share mode operation
+which will prevent the MS Office installation process from re-opening various
+dynamic link library files. Some other files will also NOT be found at times.
+
+Solution:
+=========
+1. As soon as the administrative installation (unpacking) has completed
+ set the following parameters on the share containing it:
+ [MSOP95]
+ path = /where_you_put_it
+ comment = Your comment
+ volume = "The_CD_ROM_Label"
+ read only = yes
+ available = yes
+ share modes = no
+ locking = no
+ browseable = yes
+ public = yes
+
+2. Now you are ready to run the setup program from the workstation as follows:-
+ \\"Server_Name"\MSOP95\msoffice\setup
