This question is for Eric. I went to your web site http://myweb.cableone.net/xnih/ to try and deploy o2ksp3 and I'm having a bit of trouble. I'm trying to deploy o2ksp3 on a windows 2000 workstation with o2ksr1a, and when it gets to the part were the install.bat file tries to import the modify.reg file I get the error message, "Cannot import modify.reg, the file is not a registry script. There may be a disk or file system error".

On another question, how do you get languard to report if Office o2ksr1a is already installed on a system? I'm assuming you need to create a registry vulnerability script for it, I'm just not sure where the right registry key is for it.

Thanks,
Rex

Lets see:

what does your modify.reg file look like? Sounds like you have a problem with the .reg file you are trying to import. You can test the file by just double clicking on it, it should prompt you and ask if you want to import it in.

Depends on how Office was installed. If it was installed via an admin share point I don't think LNSS will detect it, if it was installed via Office being installed off a cd and then the SP added afterwards, it dumps some registry keys in that LNSS already checks for and will automatically detect if it is installed or not. You can look at the products.xml file to find out the exact check it is doing.

Thanks for responding... Here is what my modifynet.reg file says. If I try to manually import it, it says "Cannot import, the specified file is not a reqistry script. You can only import reqistry files."

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products\904010001E872D116BF00006799C897E]

As for o2ksr1a, I did find this info (below) in my products.xml file, but I'm not sure where to find the results in my languard v5 scanner. Buy the way, it was installed off the local cd.

Thanks,
Rex

I think you need " " around \\Sebastes\....\Office2000\

as for Detection:

It does a registry check to see if SR-1 is there. There should be checks for SP2 and SP3.

Not sure overall, gotta fly and do my real job here.

Status: offline 		Eric,

I tried that and it still didn't work. I think I may have figured it out on my own. What I did was edit the .reg file to say REGEDIT4 on the top line. After that, all was good, however now I'm getting Windows 2000 setup splash screen giving me a usage menu. Not sure what to so here... Perhaps one of the parameters in the install.bat files is incorrect?

They are:

regedit /s modifynet.reg
setup /qb
o2ksp3 /q

Status: offline 		Also in order for languard to show if Office SR-1 was installed, I just added the registry check of SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products\904010001E872D116BF00006799C897E;ProductName
value: Microsoft Office 2000 SR-1 Professional

All is good now..

splash screen for what. The registry install and a prompt or a splash screen on the patch as it installs?

Status: offline 		Hi Eric,

After it deploys, I get a blue splash screen that says "Windows 2000 Setup", "Usage, Setup"

/? -- generates this usage message.
/f -- turns off blue background
/c -- defaults to 'Shell commands'
/v -- turn on INF syntax checking

click <OK>

I myself am not sure what it means either. It has already happened on two system's I've tested. I would suspect its the "setup/qb" in the install.bat file. I'll play with it some.

Status: offline 		The setup.exe from the extraction of O2KSR1aDL.EXE.
I already firgured this out earlier.. So I fixed that windows setup screen thingy. As for the registry import, I didn't know you had to have "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" at the top of the file. My goof on that... However, it still won't re-write the information into the registry, (even if I manually click it). It gives no error messages. Not sure of the problem here.

Status: offline 		Nevermind, I finally think I got it... The keys were not identical, (even thought I exported them off another system earlier). Now for Office SP3... Sweet. Well it's not exactly a silent install, but it will work for now. Ok, close this case.

Thanks,
Rex

Status: offline 		This might be a bit of topic but I have found that you can integrate SP3 into Office 2000. Which means any future install you will do already has sp3 in it.

It seems to be working fine on my test machine.

Status: offline 		have you turned around and scanned it with LNSS? The issue used to be at least that LNSS would not detect SP3 as being installed due to it being an administrative install point install (long story, lots of posts in the past about it). Not sure if LNSS can detect it being installed that way or not since I haven't tested it in a long time.

Althoug the online office updater does.....
