hello folks, first of all, please let me thank U for your forum, it was usefull for me to understand silent installations. secondly, sorry for my poor English (I promise, I'll do my best) here is my matter : I try to install Office 2003 with my unattended installation of XP, but when starting "Apps.bat", I see .Net installing, OK, MSN , ok ...., but the installation of Office don't need more than 3 seconds ( ), and , of course, the programm is not available at the end of the installation ... I created a "office.bat" in the same directory as Office setup, to try , writing: "start /wait setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-" this way, the installation is correct, no problem. so, any idea please ?
