Read through the above site (and look at the screen grabs) to get a better understanding of how to create SFX archive files.
To get the same SFX commands as our friend midi2k6, the ONLY steps required when in the "Advanced SFX options" screen are:
1. On General tab, enter the following into the "Run after extraction" field: PRO11.MSI /QN
2. On the Modes tab:
- tick "Unpack to temporary folder"
- select "Hide all" under "Silent mode"
- select "Overwrite all files" under "Overwrite mode"
3. On the Text and icon tab, enter the following text in the "Title of SFX window" field: Microsoft Office 2003 Professional SP3
That is it!
To confirm this is correct, look at the Comment tab in the Archive name and parameters screen.
100%
however if you use ORK to do a fully unatended customised install use the following, once you have your MST file.
1. On General tab, enter the following into the "Run after extraction" field: setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /QN
2. On the Modes tab:
- tick "Unpack to temporary folder"
- select "Hide all" under "Silent mode"
- select "Overwrite all files" under "Overwrite mode"
3. On the Text and icon tab, enter the following text in the "Title of SFX window" field: Microsoft Office 2003 Professional SP3

@midiboy
If this works, all i can say is you dancer. as mritter says its amazing that IE7 can cause this problem.
I can confirm that i have IE7 slipstreamed into my sp3 disk.
@stoner81
My code is correct, I have just used my install disc's and code to make switchless installers using winrar
and then converted them to CAB addods. This worked fine and all 5 instances of office 2003 installed at
the t13 point.
@mritter
using switchless winrar installers dont work in wpi either the same old error comes up, just thaught id try an
alternative. That said if the debug problem midiboy found fixs the problem i have just reduced the size of
my install disk drastickly. So something good has come of it.

Flying Scot,
Did you try the new version I sent an email about? Been working with midiboy for a while now. I have the rb_config.js error fixed, but still getting the false restart (not reboot) problem.
The email must have filtered into my spam mail! i have not downloaded any new betas since i done the testing for you If its still on the link you PM'd me then i will download the new beta!!!

What version of Office?
2003
Read and follow this
http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/50/
Then in WPI for the application assuming you have it in WPI\Install folder you will need the following in the config of WPI
"%wpipath%\Install\xxxxx\PRO11.MSI" TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-
where xxxxx is the name of the folder containing all your files.
Hope this helps
Stoner81
I appreciate the cut of your jib and your code does work as does mine, The problem lies in an application installer error that multiple instances of office tricks WPI into thinking that a restart is needed where one is not.

For a delay, put a PAUSE 10 in command 2.
Like I said in my email: it's not WPI's fault. It is something with the installer code. I have another idea to try, but WPI may get "confused" in another way. I will test it out Wed and post a new beta that night.
tried those now and still no luck... ah well we live and try again.... let me know when there is more beta testing to do

prior to running your install of WPI i tested 5 individual installs of office, project, visio, onenote and frontpage.
all were successful. All of my codes end with /noreboot so this should set the installer not to reboot but it does
on the second instance of an office instalation or something tricks WPI into thinking it should reboot. I dont know
coding but i do know logic. I only use one line of code per instalation, as shown below.
%cdrom%\office2003\office\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb- /noreboot
%cdrom%\office2003\frontpage\setunext instalation p.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb- /noreboot
%cdrom%\office2003\visio\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb- /noreboot
%cdrom%\office2003\project\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb- /noreboot
%cdrom%\office2003\onenote\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb- /noreboot
none of that should be new to you of course but if i were to add a second comand line per install which was noreboot would WPI
look at that and not reboot?
How could i code that into the second command line or is it a non starter.
another option would be to try and delay the start of the ofending instalation by some sort of time loop
How could i code that into the second command line or is it a non starter as well.
I am just thinking out loud it might help or on the other hand i might be talking drivel.

hi there, i am using WPI but this is not an issue with that, what i am wanting to know is that is it possiable to repackage office, frontpage visio, project and one note in a diferant installer.
the reason i am asking is due to an error which occurs in the microsoft MSI file.
so basicaly i want to know if i can use some other util to repackage and install office.
i hope this makes sense if not please ask any questions and i will do my best to explain what i mean.

What version of office are you trying to use? If its 2003 Pro then look here;
http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/50/
This is what I used to make mine and it works like a charm! as for Frontpage and the others im not to sure at the mo

I have used that guide to form my MST files for unatended instalation in WPI, I am now testing for mritter to try and find and iron out a few problems.

I found some "bugs" in the installer that cleared up some of the error messages. Still not 100% but have some people testing it.
It seems that WPI is getting "tricked" into believing a reboot happened and get started over internally. Totally got me confused. The current error message is only possible after a reboot. No one is doing a reboot.
Stay tuned.............

It shouldn't be rebooting between there at all, unless you have placed reboot commands in there...
its not rebooting, i am getting some sort of error msg saying it cant reboot, so i was thinking if i told it not to reboot then i would not get the error msg, just my weird thinking on the problem ive got.
ive now found on anther site the code is /noreboot
so i will add this to my code and find out if my error msg goes away
it could also b e a problem with vm where
if i still get the problem i will post pictures and more info.

I am working on a DVD with all my operating systems. Like XP you can save the CD key in a file such that you do not have to enter it! Is there a way of doing this with ME and 98SE. Any help and advice would be apreciated.

Well, you could try it!
But I would be truly AMAZED
if it would work!P.S.: Almost no chance at all I'm afraid... But if it works... that would be superb...
What im thinking is that, stop me when i go wrong!
1. you can have more than one path because its a text file!
i.e.
path = C:\windows
path = C:\windows\system32
ect
2. in dos although its not dos you could set up more than one
path to look for things i will try it and see. I will let you know
what i find

Why else would it be there? :s
Must admit it dosent work for me. thats why i had to download the 7zip

guess that would be massive!

1. search using google for 7zip

Hello everone, having done my work copys and slipstreamed xp I thaught I would
do my own. I have decided to add the extra drivers that have been posted in this
forum. What I would like to know, if you can tell me that is, is can i have more
than one OemPnPDriversPath.
i.e.
in my winnt.sif file can i have 2 or more lines that show driver paths. For instance:-
OemPnPDriversPath="DRIVERS\Sound\A; with all driver locations for sound
OemPnPDriversPath="DRIVERS\Grahics\R; with all driver locations for graphics
OemPnPDriversPath="DRIVERS\Lan\d; with all driver locations for lan
or is it a must for it to look like this.
OemPnPDriversPath="DRIVERS\Lan\d;DRIVERS\Grahics\R;DRIVERS\Sound\A"
Please if you can if it is not possiable to do so can you explain, is it mearly because
one would over wright the other?
My main reason for wanting to do this is that it will and would keep the winnt.sif file
in some form of readable and coherant order. if i have all three sets in the one
entry it will be so long as to be hard to read and control addition driver additions.
kind regards and thanks for the help!

Well Well big thanks out to ToBe, thanks alot m8.
You were so very correct about the cd key issue.
The key i was using was not for the XP CD's I was
issued, there was an email from M$ that I recieved
this afternoon with the key details. As you said one
key does all I now have a disk that will work for an
unatened setup. Thanks for your help much apreciated.
