OFF2000: How to Automatically Reboot After the First Portion of Setup

This article was previously published under Q233119

SYMPTOMS

When you run Office Setup, you receive the following alert after the initial portion of setup has finished:
The installer must restart your system before configuration of <Office 2000 Product> can continue. Click Yes to restart now or No if you plan to manually restart later.
where <Office 2000 product> is the name of the specific Office product being used.

You will receive the above alert even if you set the REBOOT property to Force in the command-line, the Setup.ini, or the Custom Installation Wizard.

WORKAROUND

To automatically reboot after the first portion of Office setup, follow these steps:
  1. Click Start, and click Run.
  2. Type the following command-line in the Open box:
    <path>\Setup.exe /qb-
    						
  3. Click OK.
Setup will run with the user interface in Basic mode. This means you will not be able to make any choices and Office will be installed with default settings.

If you want to create a customized Office setup, include a transform with the above command-line. For more information about transforms, see the Microsoft Office 2000 Resource Kit at

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other.
