[Install Office 2003 Pro add-on with cab and svcpack- SOLVED!]

IMPORTANT NOTE: use ONLY your own Office2003 distribution

According: http://www.msfn.org/board/lofiversion/index.php/t28820.html and http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...1&hl=office I just tested eryen idea to delete some registry from pro11.msi .

So, after that I can install Office 2003 at T13 (with cab/svcpack !).

My solution :

1. Slipstream Office 2003 kit with SP3

2. Install admin version into fresh virtual machine (providing your serial number, user and company)with setup.exe /a and save all into new Office 2003 folder

3. Modify Office setup with Microsoft Office Resurce Kit and generate a NEW setup.MST file:

- run: Custom Instalation Wizard from Microsoft Office Resurce Kit

- point them to PRO11.msi

- make all changes for packets to be installed/removed

- IMPORTANT: at 12/24 step choose “ Remove Registry Entry” tab and select Add and complete next form with:

• Root: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

• Key: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorReporting\DW\Installed

• Value Name: DW0200

•

4. Choose OK and Finsih and save your new *.MST as setup.MST into your Office2003 setup folder.

5. Create a SFX archive using WinRar and select SFX option :

• Into “Run After extraction” write : setup.exe /wait TRANSFORMS=setup.mst /qn

• In modes tab check: Unpack to temp folder, Hide all, Overwrite all

• Save your archive as office 2003.exe

6. make new Add-on cab with NLITE ADD-ON MAKER and chose to execute your SFX archive (office2003.exe-created at step 5)

7. Insert your add-on with NLITE as new hotfix and create a new XPCD image !

i just want to ask something cause you mention about virtual machine,,,is it ok if i make an admin install in my currently running os like the guide here and use the resource kit like the guide here but remove some registry like you instruct...thank you...
