How Do I Perform a Network Installation of Microsoft Office 97?
The netwrk8.txt file, which is located in the Office folder on the Microsoft Office 97 compact disc, has instructions for performing an administrative installation of Office. In addition to the steps listed in this file, you must grant users read/write permission to the Msoffice\Workdir folder on the server. For the rest of the folders on the server, use read-only permission. You’ll also find helpful information about this topic in the Knowledge Base article “159772: Contents of the Netwrk8.txt Readme File” and in the Microsoft Office 97 Resource Kit: Chapter 4—Installing MS Office.
