I install anything at T-12. Everything's applied under Default User and Administrator, it looks waaaay better (with XPlode) and it's a bit faster (no reboot required after install) ^^

Yup, I tried editing the key before installing Office, didn't work. I could write and read to it then though... stupid Office

Sorry, not really an XML-expert. Another log-file would be handy?

Alright, I'm less tired now. Well, when Office is installed with /QN, it doesn't install. The reason? It gives an error, and because of that error the whole install is aborted. "Crap!" But when the install is launched with /QB or /QR, the error is shown. It's an error revolving around some registry entry. That registry entry is needed for Error Sending. That same registry entry is GENERATED every time you launch Office anyway! So this is basically an AutoIt script which launches the setup with /QB, hides the spawned window and clicks "IGNORE" when the error pops up. Hey, it works! I'll put up the simple script here soon, so anyone can use it. ^^

Well, it's been awhile since I used MSIE (it blows ), but try this; Options -> Advanced There should be some subtitle called "HTTP 1.1 options". Try toggling off/on the "Via proxy"-checkbox.

Well, presetup.cmd launches BEFORE the normal setup (in which DetachedProgram launches), so I'm guessing it would be better to copy your data there.

Favorites: I dunno, sorry

Goddamnit, doesn't "RTFM" has no meaning anymore? :/ You're using old code, this is the new one: <execute display='Installing .NET Framework v1.1 ...'> <program>%systemdrive%\install\netframework\netfx.msi</program> <arguments>/QN</arguments> </execute>

It's perfectly stable to be used in your discs. Which one's that? Maybe I could learn. ^^ 0.4a (21-03): - GUI variabled updated - Image files can now be of different size. Make 'em as large as you want, the app detects the size. - cdswitchback.jpg, cdswitchback.gif and cdswitchback.bmp can now be used. If multiple are found: JPG > BMP > GIF download here

Well, I've been using this for a while, and looks like there's more people wanting to use it. It's a little script making it possible to install Office at T-12. Maybe on other times, dunno, haven't tested those. Just be happy by the fact Office'll install perfectly fine. Alright, another thing, only the versions I write here will work, if it isn't listed, don't try to use a script of another version, as it will NOT WORK, no doubt. Make sure your transform is named "UNATTENDED.MST". Thanks. Now, the apps, place the needed version in the root office folder, right next to "setup.exe" and "unattended.mst": *links moved a bit down* Two notes when using this: For the love of god, only use this when you experience problems. It could very well be the installation works without this script! There's a downside to this method, being that if you want to launch Office Update, you need to insert the disc. This happens because the installation files aren't cached (this saves disk space tho, I always manually delete those files anyway). Before you start writing this script yourself, take a look if you can't use one of these precompiled scripts: Office 2003 English Professional Edition officeexec_ENG_PRO.zip Office 2003 English Standard Edition Download here (thanks to pontiacmn for this one) Office 2003 Dutch Professional Edition Download here Alright, let's get started. If you don't want to read all this crap, just take a look at the simplified version in the attached template: officeexec_template.au3 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tutorial For the explanation, I will use the Office 2k3 ENG Professional script as a template. <span style='font-size:21pt;line-height:100%'>1</span> First, learn to write and compile an AutoIT-script. See this topic for a decent explanation. <span style='font-size:21pt;line-height:100%'>2</span> Here's the simple script: Opt("SendKeyDelay", 1) Opt("WinWaitDelay", 1) Run("SETUP.EXE TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /QB") WinWaitActive("Windows Installer") WinSetState("Windows Installer", "", @SW_HIDE) WinWaitActive("Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003", "1406") Send("!I") WinWaitClose("Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003") The first two lines (Opt...) makes sure the script runs as fast as possible. The third line (Run...) runs the setup, using the specified MST-file. Note that the /QB parameter is used. When /QN is used, the installation will rollback and cancel when an error occurs. We don't want this to happen of course. The fourth line (WinWaitActive...) waits until the window with the title "Windows Installer" pops up. This is a line you shouldn't change, as all .MSI-installers start out with this window. The fifth line (WinSetState...) makes that same window invisible, so that no installer will be seen. The sixth line (WinWaitActive...) waits until the window with title "Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003" and error code "1406" pops up. The title must be modified to the language version you use. You can only get to know this title by launching setup with /QB and letting the error occur. The seventh line (Send...) sends ALT+I. When you hold ALT when the error dialog occurs, you see that one letter per button is underlined. You need to press ALT plus the underlined letter to activate that button. The button we want to press is "Ignore". Every language versions has a different name for that button, so also a different underlined letter. Please don't remove the "!", this represents the ALT. The eighth line (WinWaitClose...) waits until the window called "Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003" closes. This is the same window as "Windows Installer", but has renamed itself. This title also differs from language version to version. This line is needed because otherwise the script will exit too soon, meaning that RunOnceEx/Batchfile/blah will continue, even while Office is still installing. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This post probably needs some updating, but I'll leave it like this for now.

Yeah, the folder which icon has to be changed.

No error, just check your answer file for flaws.

Place a file called "desktop.ini" in the folder. In it put this stuff: [.ShellClassInfo] IconFile=%SystemRoot%\DropBox Dealie.ico IconIndex=0 The icon "DropBox Dealie" is in my Windows-folder, but you can place 'em anywhere if course. Then run a batch file with the following code: Attrib +s <FolderName>

You can run the recovery console with the setup disc.

How did you do that?!? I'm still on two discs and I think I have a lot. I still have to implement Visual Studio .net though. >_<

Use tags. This is a quick compile for the lazy people.

Err, my brains? I mean when you see something like <program display='BSplayer'> You know what to edit, right? Just open it in Notepad and mess around a bit.

0.3 (20-03) - Code clean-up, it's a bit faster now - Error repressing of parameters, informing you about what you did wrong - Instead of "f:" as a drive now "f" can also be used. - Hitting ESC will exit the program - The supplied drive is checked if its a CD/DVD-drive and if it exists There, that's enough for today. ^^

I actually don't see the problem. This is how I learned it, withouth XML-knowledge or whatsoever: - Take an example file - Edit it the way you want it - "Hey, it works!"

Thanks 0.3b: - Tray now opens when no disc is inserted - When the correct disc is already present, the tray won't eject - The disc-letter must now be supplied

I had the same problem by installing SP2, when it occurs, just place that file back from the cd.

- removed: info about old version -

Just search the forum, it's been discussed.
