All the documentation for WordPerfect Office 2002 editions are contained on the CD. You can
print or copy and paste items in the documentation. Printed documentation is available from
Corel Sales.
To access the Release Notes and the WordPerfect Office 2002 documentation from the CDROM
1 Insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive.
If the Auto-Run window does not start up, double-click the Intro.exe at the root level of the
CD-ROM.
2 Click the Release Notes button in the Corel Setup Wizard Welcome Screen.
A text file called VOLINFO.TXT is stored in a folder at the root level of each
WordPerfect Office 2002 CD. You can use this file to determine which version of
WordPerfect you are using.
Installation types available from the WordPerfect Office 2002
CD-ROM
The WordPerfect Office 2002 CD includes two installation executables: SETUP32.EXE and
WPO2002.MSI (WPO2002P.MSI for the Professional Edition). Both files will start the installation.
SETUP32.EXE provides you with three installation options:
Typical Setup
This option installs the most commonly installed components of the suite. You can specify
the drive and main folder where the suite will be installed.
Compact Setup
This option installs only the components required to run the core applications of the suite,
such as WordPerfect and Quattro Pro.
Custom Setup
This option lets you select and deselect components according to disk space, requirements,
and so on. There are options that are available when performing the custom install that are
not available when performing a typical install.
All of the installation options can be run from the CD-ROM as CD-ROM-based
installations. You can enable this option when there is very little hard drive space
available for installation. If you enable this option, you must have the CD-ROM in the
system whenever you run a application.
Installing WordPerfect Office 2002 to a server
In order to install WordPerfect Office 2002 to a server, you must click Start } Run. In the
command line type x:\setup32.exe /admin. You can run this executable from the CD to do initial
Introduction 3
server installations, and then run it from the server in a multiserver environment to install to
additional servers if necessary. For more information about server installation, see the “Installing
to a server” chapter on page 11 of this document.
You must run setup32 /admin to install WordPerfect Office 2002 to a server. You
cannot simply copy a server installation to a different server instead of performing a
server installation. Because Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path information is
generated and stored in files necessary for a server installation, copying and pasting
a server installation will not install.
Installation Files
During the installation process, SETUP32.EXE uses and creates series of files to accomplish
specific functions. These files include:
WPO2002.msi and WPO2002P.msi files
WPO2002.msi is used for the WordPerfect Office 2002, Standard Edition. WPO2002P.msi is used
for the WordPerfect Office 2002, Professional Edition. This file is found at the root of the CD. The
file contains all of the required setup components, and regkeys; it also defines directories and
shortcuts that need to be installed.
INSTMSI.EXE file
This file is found in two locations on the CD; d:\msi\9x\Instmsi.exe and d:\msi\nt\Instmsi.exe
(where d is the letter corresponding to the CD-ROM drive). Both of these files are required to
install the Microsoft Windows Installer. The first is used to install for Windows 98 and the
second is used for Windows NT.
PROJECT.CSW file
The PROJECT.CSW is an input data file that the SETUP32.EXE uses to define the UI. You can find
the PROJECT.CSW with the Setup source files in the Setup folder. If you run a network
installation, the PROJECT.CSW file is copied to the server in the Setup folder.
COMP.CSW file
The COMP.CSW is a data file that contains component information. This data file defines what
files, registry keys, and so on are associated with a component. The COMP.CSW also defines any
folders or shortcuts that need to be created when you install a certain component. You can find
the COMP.CSW with the Setup source files in the Setup folder. The SETUP32.EXE outputs an
amended version of the COMP.CSW to the \Windows\Corel\Product Name\Version.
The COMP.CSW is an input file of the SETUP32.EXE. After an installation is complete, a
COMP.CSW file, created by the SETUP32.EXE, appears in the \Windows\Corel\Product
Name\Version folder. The data contained in the COMP.CSW, which is stored with the Setup
source files, represents the possibilities for every type of installation that can be performed. The
COMP.CSW file, which is stored on the installation machine, represents only the components that
the user has chosen to install.
INTRO.EXE file
The INTRO.EXE file is the first file to be executed on the CD. It runs the AUTORUN.INF file.

Response files
The Response File is another ASCII text file that is created during the UI phase of the installation
process. At this time, the installation program asks several questions that allow you to customize
your installation. For example, it asks you what the desired install location is, what programs to
install, what is your username, and so on. The installation program stores the answers to these
questions in a file with an .RSP extension located in \Windows\Corel\WordPerfect Office 2002\10.
The default filename is Corel.RSP. Once you create an RSP file, which contains the desired
answers to the installation questions, you can re-use it by using the /RSPfile command line
switch. This allows you to facilitate a semi-hands free installation of WordPerfect Office 2002 on
other workstations. The answers in the response file would appear as the default choices. The
user would, however, have the option of overriding this choice by adding or changing the
information as the question appears.
There are many methods for creating a response (*.RSP) file, including the following methods,
which are two of most common. The first method involves running the Setup wizard until the
Ready To Install screen appears. At this point, clicking on “Next” or “Cancel” creates the *.RSP
file. Once you have created this file, you can move and rename it (provided you keep the .RSP
extension).
SETUP.LOG file
The SETUP.LOG provides a report that contains information on the type of Setup that was
performed, the source and destination paths of the files/folders/shortcuts that were created or
installed, and the successes or failures of these installations. This file is created when the Setup
wizard is started. Information is added to the SETUP.LOG file when you click the Install button.
The SETUP.LOG is a static output text file, which is created by the Setup under the
\Windows\Corel folder. This file is not appended to with subsequent installations; therefore, the
SETUP.LOG represents only the last installation performed. When an existing SETUP.LOG file is
present on the install disk, that file is copied to SETUP.OLD.
UNINSTALL.LOG file
The UNINSTALL.LOG provides a report that lists past and present files/folders/shortcuts, and the
successes or failures of these occurrences. The UNINSTALL.EXE creates UNINSTALL.LOG, which is
a static output file, under the \Windows\Corel folder. This file is not appended to with
subsequent uninstalls; therefore, it only represents the last uninstall performed.

Preparing for
installation and distribution
You can prepare to install and distribute WordPerfect Office 2002 by using the following plan:
assemble an installation and distribution team
choose an installation and distribution strategy
test installation and distribution methods
install WordPerfect Office 2002 to a server and test a preliminary distribution
deploy your final distribution

Assembling an installation and distribution team
Your team might include the following people:
Internal Support (IS) personnel to coordinate and prepare the test environment
testers to explore WordPerfect Office 2002 in a test environment
installers to deploy the installation of WordPerfect Office 2002
trainers to train and inform users
support personnel to assist users during and after distribution
You and your team should prepare for distribution in the following ways:
Understand the Windows Registry and System Policies. You can find detailed information in
the Windows 95 Resource Kit, Windows 98 Resource Kit, Windows 2000 Resource Kit,
Windows Me Resource Kit and the Windows NT Resource Kit.
Review an organizational chart of your organization, and decide how WordPerfect Office
2002 will meet the needs of the departments and groups. Discuss several distribution
strategies with your team and decide on which strategies you will test.
Read the release notes; click Start } Programs } WordPerfect Office 2002 } Setup and Notes.
Familiarize yourself with and note any differences between it and the last version of
WordPerfect that you have installed.
Choosing a strategy
Before you install WordPerfect Office 2002, you must choose an installation strategy. You must
choose an installation type and location, whether to use response files during setup, and
whether to use third-party distribution software.
