I hate bringing up an old post...but just as steveh2001, I can't find any other guides to help me out with this. I actually have an interesting issue which has strum up a number of laughs in my office.  I followed the instructions to create the silent install and installation seems to work without an issue.  However, after Office 2003 is done installing, it promptly uninstalls itself.  I can't figure out what is wrong or what I'm doing that is causing the issue.  Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
