Hello, Well, sadly this does not work for me either. First off, it's werid... Well, you see if I just run setup like normal from the dir. then it installs fine. That is after Windows is already installed. Same goes for running it via the command line. But running it via gui-run-once or RunOnceEx fails.... Only two errors are reported via Event Viewer: Well, as you can see its looking for "C:\install\Office2003\FILES\PFILES\COMMON\MSSHARED\SRCENG\OSE.EXE" . The entire SRCENG folder does not even exist within MSSHARED. I do not understand this at all. Any ideas? And the second error just for kicks. Update: Well, I fixed it. For some reason two files are missing from the compacted Office 2003 SP2 folder, that is after running the tool on the first page. See once I add the OSE.EXE as menitioned in above error you then get this error when you try and install again: So now copy this LCCWIZ.DLL file to the correct dir as mentioned in the error. Now it installs fine. Take Care, Will I too, am hoping some kind person will post it soon.
