Software programmed to meet Microsoft standards and installation programs created to Microsoft standards will automatically switch in and out of install mode. Out of habit, if the software didn't come from Microsoft, I manually switch in and out of install mode.

And apparently the single application we run on it utilizes Office 2003. Now, I need to upgrade that to Office 2010. In the deep dark distant past, when I used MS Terminal Server, you had to install applications a certain way, in order for the remote sessions to access them. Something about making sure to always do it from "Add/Remove Programs:, or - alternatively - from a command prompt, "change user /install". This is Win2003, so I'm assuming the same holds true. So: I should just be be able to go to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, choose the CD or Floppy, and when it doesn't find anything there, I can run the installer from the D: drive of the Citrix server? And I can do a custom upgrade of Office 2003 to Office 2010 (we only need Word and Excel, so we would only be installing those 2). Sound right? My searches seem to indicate so, but I know some of you do this every day, and I haven't installed anything on a (working) Terminal Server in like 7 years ....
