so then i edit to: REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Microsoft Office XP" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "MSIEXEC.EXE /i %systemdrive%\install\Applications\OfficeXP\PROPLUS.msi TRANSFORMS=Unattended.mst /qb-" /f or do i specify the path to the msiexec.exe ???

thanks but it doesn't have a setup.exe only proplus.msi and i see no reason why a script to run a file wouldnt work if a exe or msi but u never know. but u may b right, when code was setup.exe i am told cannot find, when change to msi it just does nothing.

well seeing as most the help from here is search, i did and found that.

originally kept getting error that cannot find the office file after windows installs, now I get nothing and windows installs ok. full details: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=50038 I would hope that someone may advise, other post is just being ignored. please help

dont seem to get much help on these forums. I spose the the usual answer, hunt the forums, spend a few days putting the puzzle together. thanks alot

well tried a few times and nothing, tried using %systemdrive% and %cdrom% now just loads windows and dont start office no error messages about not finding file or nothing. cmdow @ /HID @echo off FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\CD.txt SET CDROM=%%i: SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Microsoft Office XP" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\OfficeXP\PROPLUS.msi TRANSFORMS=Unattended.mst /qb-" /f EXIT using the proplus.msi as when started the msfn unattended guide i didnt have setup.exe on cd so pointed to the msi. please help

just tested my 1st full attempt xp + office installed fine in VM, logs in then goes to run the office setup but fails. 'cannot find 'install\Applications\OfficeXP\Proplus.exe' this is my runonce file: cmdow @ /HID @echo off FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\CD.txt SET CDROM=%%i: SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Microsoft Office XP" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\install\Applications\OfficeXP\proplus.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.mst /qb-" /f EXIT and my directory structure to the file is (b4 iso convert): D:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\install\Applications\OfficeXP\proplus.exe obviously i must have the path wrong or something to do with the cdrom script part. do i amend to something like : "%CDROM%\$OEM$\$1\install\Applications\OfficeXP\proplus.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.mst /qb-" /f that dont seem right though ??? or am i being stupid and it should b PROPLUS.exe ???

hunted around the forums, find many answers for many things then have to piece the puzzle together. 2 scripts I found: REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "SpySweeper" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\SpySweeperRegSetup_EN.exe /VERYSILENT /KC=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" /f REG ADD %KEY%\006 /VE /D "Spy Sweeper 3.2" /f REG ADD %KEY%\006 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\Webroot\SpySweeper.exe /VERYSILENT /SP-" /f REG ADD %KEY%\006 /V 3 /D "CMD /C COPY \"%systemdrive%\Install\Webroot\install.dat\" \"%programfiles%\Webroot\Spy Sweeper\" /Y" /f which one should I use for the version im installing 3.2?

does above work better than: REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "SpySweeper" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D ""%CDROM%\Software\sspSetup.exe /VERYSILENT /KC=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" /f not tried that, im just collecting all the info b4 i put together. im using spysweeper 3.2.0 build 146

tried search, found a few things to help but nothing set in concrete. I want to silent with the serial in a runonce method like this: REG ADD %KEY%\006 /VE /D "Dreamweaver MX" /f REG ADD %KEY%\006 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\dwMX2004.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\007 /V 2 /D "taskkill /F /IM iexplore.exe" /VERYSILENT /KC=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" can it be done?

lol, sorry, looks like im answering my own questions again: REG ADD %KEY%\050 /VE /D "Microsoft Office 2003 Professional" /f REG ADD %KEY%\050 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.mst /qb-" /f so i should try the runonce method using above script and presumably copy most and edit for the next app? eg: REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "7 Zip 4.18" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\7Zip\7zip.exe -y /S" /f think I will shut up now and stop asking questions hehe

well I got my custom xp with Nlite and slipstreamed all updates and sp2 aswell as office xp and now got to the script stage. worked with cmd through the years so no issues there just a couple of clarification questions. at the end of the office slipstream I am told to add this: ECHO. ECHO Installing Office 2003 Professional ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb- no problem, presumably in the winnt.sif file i uderstand that but when looking through forums etc I see many do a slightly different way with the scripting like: REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "7 Zip 4.18" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\7Zip\7zip.exe -y /S" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "Adobe Reader 7" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Adobe\AdobeReader7.exe" /s /f I believe thats the runonce method? so these are 2 different ways of doing the job? which is best to be using? If use runonce method how to i finish my install so that runs the office i incorporated. sorry my head just getting a little confused on the scripting stage the tutorial is a little flaky on this area. (**** great tutorial though) any advice on starting the scripting stage be appreciated.

yeah sorry, my mind been going loopy all day working out how all this goes together, worked most out but my mind wasn't on work duties my main point was where specify the serial key for the app in question. presumably the scripting for serial keys and any install settings/prompts is coded different for each? i just need to hope whatever app i have to add has a thread in the forums with helpful info

cheers so i just need to work out how change the install options so not install as service mode. lots and lots to read it seems

no easier way to get all the updates apart from these manual methods? I cant do windows catalog as pc fully patched so it shows me nothing. I spose i could just format my spare pc and use windows catalog then, that work?
