Hi, I've made a quick search and I didn't find this (easy method for installing Office 2003 updates and service packs silently with MSP files) explained. The way I've done it is as follows: First install Office and go to Office update website and let office download sp1 and the needed updates, this updates are stored on "<program files>\OfficeUpdate\cabs" inside you'll find several folders that contain an MSP and CAB file inside. Copy those CAB and MSP files to your XPCD Office folder, and add the MSP file to your runonceex or script file, using the switches "/qb" example: REG ADD %KEY%\030 /VE /D "Office 2003 Service Pack & Updates" /f REG ADD %KEY%\030 /V 1 /D "%cdrom%\aplicaciones\office2003\511749.MAINSP1op.msp /qb" /f REG ADD %KEY%\030 /V 2 /D "%cdrom%\aplicaciones\office2003\512140.OUTLFLTR.msp /qb" /f Obviously this entry has to be placed AFTER the one that installs Office. Here I've keeped the orginal MSP names of the updates, but probably you can rename them to something more friendly. Hope it helps Cheers

Use the advanced method for installing office 2003, the one that uses a MST file for installation, during the creation of the custom installation MST file you'll be asked for the Office CD key, just like when you were doing your winnt.sif file. I myself install office2003 using a MST file with my installation preferences AND my CDkey inside. So far so good.
