I have Pub 2002 & looking to install silently, checked guides & googled have not been able to locate this just curious if at all possible?

So, you have got Publisher 2002 as a separate application?

Thats right not part of office xp

Do you have a file named setup.ini? I think you should have it on your CD.

Yes its located in the setup dir it mentions a mst file looks similar to the office admin install is that correct?

Unless you need to slipstream patches (MSPs), you don't need to do admin install.

But, you can customize your installation using setup.ini along with setup.exe.

I only have the msi installer package?

Well!

Then, there's one attempt. I suggest you run the MSI like this:

publisher.msi /QB PIDKEY=xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx

Hope it works.

Just slipstreamed sp3 into publisher but just wandering how to incorporate the serial no like office? Now I have setup.exe in the Publisher dir.

The procedure is all the same as for office. Look here at the MSFN unattended guide for detailed, step-by-step instructions - http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/officexp.htm.

If you slipstreamed patches, then you've done AIP. So, you can't use setup.ini. Instead, you use the MST you've created, supposedly.

Yeah sorry it saved to C:Publisher I was looking in the orig dir where I slipstreamed it. Working fine now.Anyway would this be fine to install unattended:
ECHO.
ECHO Installing Microsoft Publisher XP SP2
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\pubxp\setup.exe /q

I believe the guide clearly states that this is the switch to use, it is:

Thats fantastic you guys are great.
