Installing on Windows 2000 Terminal Server

The two modes in a terminal server are execute and install. By default, all users are logged on in execute mode. Using the execute mode, users can run the applications. When you want to install the software for use by everyone, the administrator should change to Install mode.

The best way to install the software on Windows 2000 Terminal Server is to use the Add/Remove Programs control panel applet, because this automatically sets the mode to Install during the installation and then back to execute in the end.

Alternatively, you can manually change your mode to Install by typing C:\> change user /install

Change back to execute by typing C:\> change user /execute

Check your current mode by typing C:\> change user /query

If you install in the execute mode, the installation registry is maintained in your home directory. If you install in the install mode, the installation registry is maintained in the %SystemRoot% folder.
