The Office 2000 SR-1 Update Setup program accepts a number
of optional command-line switches that you can use to control how the Setup
program operates. This article lists the switches and describes the
functionality of each switch.
Important Notes The following table lists the Setup switches:
Switch Description
---------- -----------
/D Detection mode. Causes Setup to detect which updates can
be applied to the client computer, or lists what updates
have already been installed or downloaded. The results
are either displayed in a log file, if logging has
been specified, or in a dialog box.
/L1 Logging level 1. Adds details to the log file for each
step of the Setup process for SR-1. This option does not
turn on Windows Installer logging.
/L2 Logging level 2. Adds the same details as the /L1 switch
and in addition, adds details on the process carried out
by the Windows Installer. This is the default setting.
/V Verbose logging. Includes a log entry for each feature
and component the installation package may install. You
must use the verbose logging switch in conjunction with
either the /L1 or /L2 switch.
{log A specific log file name you can specify in combination
filename} with the /L1 or /L2 switch. The default log file names are
"Office 2000 SR1 Setup(000n).txt" for the update Setup
program and "Office 2000 Sr1 Setup(000n) MsiExec.txt" for
the Windows Installer. You need to use quotation
marks around the file name if there are spaces within the
name that you specify at run time.
/QN Quiet mode - no user interface or interaction. When you
run Setup in quiet mode, no progress dialog boxes or
selection dialog boxes are displayed, and you do not have
the ability to cancel the installation. If you are using
quiet mode, make sure that Setup is completed before
restarting the computer. You cannot install Microsoft
Internet Explorer 5.01 in quiet mode.
/QF Quiet mode - full user interface. This is the default
setting. It gives you full control of the patching
process and access to all dialog boxes. You cannot install
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 in quiet mode.
/QB Quiet mode - basic user interface. Causes Setup to display
a process dialog box and critical Windows Installer
information requests. You cannot install Microsoft Internet
Explorer 5.01 in quiet mode.

not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
