office ISO to a bootable usb????

[Tomrdiedrich]

I have a office 2010 pro .iso that i need to intall on a pc with no disc drive. How do I put it on a usb drive? I know also I need to make my usb drive bootable. An idea on how to do that? I wouls apprecite any help I recieve. A google search has sent me in circles for over 2 hours now! lol. So here I am.

Use 7Zip to extract the ISO to your hard drive, into a separate folder for it.
Then run the Setup.exe or.msi

If you put it on a USB stick that is bootable and boot your computer from that stick you won't be able to install it. Windows needs to be running to install Office.

That ISO is just a way to compress all the files into one smaller file for downloading and moving around.

u can use a program installed on the machine (poweriso, ultraiso etc....) with no disc drive and mount it through the USB drive (copy it on to it) or share and mount it across your network.

I would think so as the file is still there, if it works it probably be slower.

So just running iso is the way? OK i get that. If I wanted to put it on usb so it would auto run the install like it would from the dvd, how would I do that?

In that case you would need to extract the ISO (with 7-zip or any other ISO-aware program of your choice)
and copy the content into the root folder of the stick.
For the final installation you open the appr. drive letter and either run the autostart.exe or the setup.exe. (autorun will most likely be disabled on the target computer

into the root folder? Is that just on the stick? Or is there a special way to do that? Also what is a good free .ISO software?

 

[DocBrown]

Power iso free trial version should work for this

:ar:
PowerISO - Create, Edit, Extract, Mount, Compress, Encrypt, Split ISO file, ISO/BIN converter, Virtual Drive, DAA

Hi there
Forget UltraISO

Alcohol 52% Free edition is FREE and is much better for mounting virtual ISO's (DVD/CD/BLU RAY or even NERO NRG images) and is 100% FREE.

Download it here

Alcohol 52% Free Edition

Then you just mount the ISO you've got on your USB stick to the virtual drive you've set up with alcohol 52%

I use this all the time to mount DVD movie ISO's on a Netbook computer so I can watch the movies --without having a DVD drive either.

Cheers

Unless this ISO was illegally Obtained then Just download the Trail Version and enter the Product key that came with the Disk

See Downloads - Microsoft Office

Hope this helps,
Josh

Unetbootin Is a program that can be used to mount ISO images onto USB drives and make them bootable. Also, I use a program called Virtual Clonedrive to virtually mount it to a ISO to a drive. Hope this helps.

well not really that slow, if its ethernet network, get the per usual 10 MB/s and u can mount on either the netbook or on the other machine and share the CDrom, just gives u both options, office is only a gig and a bit.

I got it all installed last night. I transfered .iso to my other laptop via network file share. Then extracted .iso and ran it. Thanks for all your help. It seems some of the most simple things that slow me down!! LOL oh well. 12hr work day days will slow anyone down I guess. Thanks again. Much appreciated!!
