No, didn't work.

Although that page implies that it is for the Office 2003 Resource Kit, it is really switches for the Office 2003 install. The switches on that page do not work when installing the Resource Kit (ork.exe).

If I do a
CODE
ork.exe /?
I get a list of 4 switches, one of which is /Q, which purports to be the Quiet Mode. It is not Quiet. It still asks for the EULA and what kind of installation I want. Definitely not for unattanded use.

I really need ORK.MSI for Office 2003 so I can use msiexec with its quiet switches. I see that others are using ORK.MSI, but I don't know where or how to get it.

I found the resource kit here. I just used this to make a .mst file for deployment within my company... thumbup.gif

Well, I solved my own problem before I read your reply.

All I had to do was extract the ork.exe file with Winrar into it's component files, one of which was setup.exe. Anyway, you can use the "standard" /qn or /qb switches with that setup.exe file. It works silently now in the unattended install.

Thx for your interest.
