Have a Windows 2003 Server with only Terminal Server activated.

Am trying to install MS Office 2000.

System reports that the Server is in Application Server Mode and no software cam be installed.

Have tried the steps called for in MS KB article for installing Office 2000 to Terminal Server environment by adding the 'Transforms=' switch to the Setup.exe in the Add/Remove programs process.

Have also tried to force the system by issuing the change user /install command.

Nothing seems to work.

Since I am new to the Terminal Server world, I am reluctant to change too much on the system since it is in use. But I need Office available for use as well.

Am considering adding Application Server as a role in the Add Remove wizard. But not sure what the impact is going to be.

Any help appreciated.

You need a special file when installing Office in Terminal Services. Later versions of Office do not require it. See Office Resource Kit for installing it on TS servers.
