You're dealing with a touching situation here. Yes you can, considering your users that are logging in have Administrative rights to the particular box that the software is being installed with. if so then read on, otherwise check out Microsoft SMS or use a Windows Installer program to package this product (since Windows Installer programs, if Windows Installer files are alreayd there, will run with elevated rights). Office 2000 installs the files needed. Read about it.

Okay, all you have to do is the following (in simple form):

Pretend we're installing Office 2000.
In the logon script do:

----
@ECHO OFF
IF NOT EXIST C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office \\SERVERNAME\SHARE\MSOffice2000\setup.exe -s -d -f
----

(-s -d -f are fake, but represent command line parameters).

I do this all the time at work, but we found that its hard via logon script because our users do not have admin rights. So we use MS SMS.
