I have 10 machines p2p and rather than going to each
machine and put in the CD and load it, i want to save all
the setup files to one machine and then map to it from the
others and run the setup similtanieoulsy. I tried this and
it when i went to another machine and mapped to the setup
files and ran it, it started the install but then dropped
out and displayed a help file with the different switches
i can use to install it. (none i dont think apply anyway)

Is this possible to do an install this way? Im not
interested suggestions regarding changing to server/client
as this isnt feasible for me right now alothough i know
its a better way of administrating these things. Also I
tried upgrading office this way and a message came back
saying the setup files where corrupt(yet when i use the cd
locally on the machine its fine).

Any practical solutions?? :-)
