Office 2000 Pro administrative installation point

[jjtbt]

I'm trying to create an administrative installation point for MS Office 2000 Pro. The documentation for this tells me to create a share and then run "setup.exe /a data1.msi" to copy the files from disk 1 to the server. Can someone tell me if I then create a 2nd share and run another command to copy in disk 2...or what do I do with disk 2?

After copying in disk 1, I am trying to apply service pack 3 to the installation point. I received a couple errors in the process "error 1914. could not schedule file ... to replace file ... on reboot." Also, when I did my 1st workstation install, it looked like everything worked, but when I do "help, about" in the apps, it does not indicate sp3 so I believe the sp may not have applied.

Any suggestions to the above?

I'm not sure it this will help but this is the guide that I used and it seemed to work ok. I did not apply it to a Network Share... only burned it to CD. All my SPs slipstreamed into it just fine.

Thanks for the extra reference. I worked on this all day yesterday and think I have it working. I created a 2nd share for the 2nd cd. However, I ended up putting both shares on a local hard drive and applying the service packs there, then copying the whole thing to a server drive. This seemed to eliminate the error I was getting. Also, now when I install to a workstation, it does indicate sp3.
