Hi hoofdy-do, M$ has build two images for the test of the new IE thats should help also to test your Office builds. You can download the Images for Virtual PC (also a free product from M$) from the microsoft download center or some other locations. If you use the follow search expression "Internet Explorer Application Compatibility VPC Image" you can find there some images with Windows XP and also one with vista. Maybe it will be help

You're right, the command line was wrong, but that's doesn't change the problem. I get an office 2003 version, the service pack and some hotfixes and generate an DVD Image with your office slipstreamer 1.6.2 In the next step I've burned it to an DVD-R. And now the testcase: I've put this DVD in the DVD drive (drive d: in my virtual PC) and starts a command shell (cmd.exe). If I use the command shell (or change with c: to the first hard drive) than I get the wrong result. If I change the current drive ( with the input d: on the DOS prompt) to the DVD than the commandline from my prvious posting works. It looks for me, that your setup searched the orginal MS Setup-Programm on the current drive. If I don't change the current drive your programm looks at c: where isn't any orginal setup programm. If I chnage to d: before I call your setup, then your setup looks for the orginal on drive d:. And found it. Can you check the function (inside your setup programm), which builds (or expand) the commandline for the call of the orginal setup programm. Maybe you forget to forward the drive letter, maybe. PS: For your information: I work since over 20 years as a system analyst and senior developer with DOS, Unix and some other operatin systems. Pls apologize me if I use the terminology for DOS or win32 developer without to declare them.

Thanks for the nice Tool. Maybe I've found another problem, where you can help me: Testcase: the current drive is c:, the DVD with the created office 2003 version is in drive d: I try to start the setup with the following commandline: "d:\office2k3\office\setup.exe" TRANSFORMS=InstFull.exe /qb- /noreboot Your new setup-application will be started, and stoped after some seconds. If I chnange the current drive to d: before I use the commandline it's works fine. Maybe you can help me and find a solution to fix the problem. Thanks very much.
