Express

I guess i am on my own on this one... Thanks anyway...

Hey guys, I could really use your help here if anyone has any input on this please give me a hand. I have been searching around the forums trying to see if any others are out thier like this one but i dont find it. Thanks, again. sry for being a pain.

Nope same results. This is whats happening as XP is installing at some point Office2k3 starts to install. As I am watching the install I see the cmd prompt open with D:\$OEM$\...... which starts the install, it finishes the rest of the auto xp finshes. Once rebooting I get an error stating c:\install\off2k3.cmd not found. I look at Start>Program Files> and no Office installed. I check the c:\ and I see the files for the install in C:\Install\Application\Office2003..... I played around with it and I got it to work but not the way I think it should work. It still seems to run the Office2k3 install as XP is installing, but once the pc reboots then it starts installing Office2k3 again but this time it is installed. I copied the Off2k3.cmd to C:\Install so when the pc reboots it starts after logging in. I would rather have it installed already before logging in. Let me know if what I am looking for is realastic. Here is what I have, let me know what am I doing incorrect. This is the context of my c:\XPCD\ This is the off2k3.cmd file which is in the c:\xpcd\$OEM$\ directory (which I also copied to the c:\xpcd\$OEM$\$1\install directory which works upon rebooting). ECHO. ECHO Installing Office XP Professional ECHO Please wait... start /wait c:\install\Application\Office2003\setuppro.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb- This is the directory structure I have. Let me know if I should post any other information you may need to see what I am doing wrong or what I am missing. Once again Thanks so much for your time.

Hi MAVERICK, I will give that a try I have the setup at work so I'll have to try it tomorrow I will let you know if that works. Thanks so much for your input,

Hi Asin, [GuiRunOnce] is in winnt.sif see below. As I mentioned before all installed correctly, and seems to install Office2003 it runs through the process, but once pc is rebooted the only thing in are the install files.

I can't get this thing right. I have burned about 5 dvds, I also tried the VM which I do have. I have created the XPSP2 not a problem, I added Office2003 followed all the instructions. But once OS is installed and pc reboots no sign of Office2003 installed. It does install the files in c:\install\application...... I do notice when XP is installing it says its installing Office2003 in D:\ instead of c:\. Can someone tell me what have i done wrong? I would appreciate any help. Thanks,
