[Tim Nelson]

Hello. I am trying to install Office 200o On a machine
running Windows 2000 Server. I am using Terminal Services
on this machine. I cannot Install Office, and the link it
the error message gives me just takes me to a page that
confuses the hell out of me. Could anyone help me out?
any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Are you in install mode?

This is automatic if you use the "Add/Remove Programs" in control panel
otherwise type "change user /install" at the command prompt when you start
and "change user /execute" when the install has finished

Yes, I am i install mode.
The exact error is as follows:
Some default settings in Microsoft Office 2000 setup do
not work properly on a Windows terminal Server. To
install Office on Terminal Server you must use the
instructions and tools available in your office 2000
resource kit or at http://www.microsoft.com/office/ORK/

Any help would be excellent. Thanks
