Hi, I know about google and petri web site but unfortunatly ? didn't find information about specific Office 2003 Small Business version... I'm very sorry for my post here, I've just post my msg in another section of this forum. I hope someone could help me. Thanks, - g@voz

Hi all, I'm trying to slipstreaming SP2 into Office 2003 Small Business but I'm getting error. These are the steps I've performed to do it: - copied the CD content on my HD (C:\Office2k3CD); - copied Office 2003 SP2 on my HD (C:\Office2k3SP2); - from shell: Office2003SP2-KB887616-FullFile-ENU.exe /Q /C /T:C:\Office2k3SP2 - try to slipstream SP2 with this command: msiexec /p C:\Office2k3SP2\MAINSP2ff.msp /a C:\Office2k3CD\STDP11N.MSI SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /qb I get an error about Product Key missing. So I tried to add these lines to setup.ini but it didn't work. [Options] PIDKEY=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Tried this too giving PID directly from shell: msiexec /p C:\Office2k3SP2\MAINSP2ff.msp /a C:\Office2k3CD\STDP11N.MSI SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /qb PIDKEY=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx This didn't work too (with another error). BTW I think this happen 'cause I didn't created an Administrative installation point with the command "D:\setup.exe /a" So, I finally would like to know if it's possible to slipstream SP2 and then all post SP2 updates with a Small Business version of Office 2003. Thanks in advance and sorry for my question. - g@voz

Ok, thanks to all I know about Ryan and other things like this but I want to know if is there a way to repack manually (with a tool) all updates already downloaded/installed on other machine. Thanks, - Andrea "gavoz"

Hi all, I'm new here and I have a question for all of you: As you know updates are saved end "unziped" in "C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download" folder. Is it possible to "repack" these files so I can use them for future use? For example I have a Windows XP Virtual Machine: every 2nd thursday of the month I run Windows Updates so I have my "template" PC detecting all of the updates available in that moment for Windows XP. Now if I want to integrate all of them with nlite I have to download them manually from MS web site. Instead of doing this is it possible to re-use updates located in "C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download" on my VM? Sorry for my bad english. - Andrea
