Office Compatibility Script

[Al]

I am trying to load and run MS Office 97 on our new test Terminal Server
(Windows server 2003), According to the support docs I have found I need to
have the users run the %systemroot%\Application Compatibility
Scripts\office97.cmd upon logon. My problem is that script doesn't exist.
Does anyone know where I can download the script from?


Thanks,
Al

The location of script is (notice folder Install)
%systemroot%\Application Compatibility Scripts\Install\Office97.cmd

The following KB article has more info:

The script doesn't exist in the install folder either. I only have 3 scripts
there, one for Endura, one for Outlook98 and one for MS Visual C++. Should
there have been a bunch more scripts that got installed during the Windows
Server 2003 install? I have 2 servers running (one production and one test)
and neither of these have the scripts installed. I also searched the CD for
the scripts (*.cm?) and it did not find many and none were for Office97.

Any ideas?

Can you look at the KB article to make sure that you followed all the
instructions (switching to install mode etc)? If not, can you uninstall and
reinstall office 97. I am trying to find if there might be some other reason
for the absense of script.

I tried the uninstall and reinstall, but that didn't help. Do you know if
the scripts get created upon the Win Server 2003 install or the Office
install?

I didn't realize it before. We no longer support office 97. So you won't
find office 97 app compatibility scripts on server 2003 boxes. The
compatibility scripts are supplied with the OS not with the office CD.
