Arie Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I can't see the screenshot. Perhaps you can upload the screenshot to another server or type it out in full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arie Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 start /wait %systemdrive%\install\office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-... so did you create a MST-file? It looks now like you simply copied the sentence quoted above, but you didn't seem to have made a transform file to use with the installation; you're calling on a transform file now then which does not exist Let me know if you made a transform file.

Fungus Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 One thing to note, you should also download the EntSetup file from the m$ site too, and replace the setup.exe with it.I noticed this is not mentioned in the tutorial. According to M$ this setup file is needed to properly use the mst file in an administrative install package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
