I know this is quite an old thread, but I thought why opening a new one since this is the same problem I have now. My batch file looks like that and is taken from the above mentioned website: ECHO. ECHO Installing Office 2003 Professional ECHO Please wait... start /wait "f:\Desktop Support\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\install\Applications\Office2003\setup.exe" TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb- What is wrong that it won't allow me to install Office 2003? Below is the error message. Could someone please post the correct batch file content? Thank you very much in advance for your help.
