Trying to slipstream SP3 into Office 2003

[kalle_mod]

Hi there!

This is my first try with unattended windows and slipstreaming updates into xp/office

I followed the guide at unattended.msfn.org buyt can't slipstream the SP3 into my PRO11.msi

I've tried both the english SP3(117mb) and the MUI(25mb for danish)

first i tried with the normal SP3 files but found out that I needed the administrative version(with seems pretty hard to find on microsofts homepage) - finally I found a guide somewhere on the internet(cant remember the link - got it on my laptop so I can post it tomorrow) with a link for the english administrative version(or so it says) and a link for the MUI's, I followed the guide but just got a message telling me that the file is not the right one or something like it(both for the english MAINSP3.msp and for the MUIxxx.msp) when i try to slipstream it into PRO11.msi(unpacked with setup.exe /a)

Can anyone help me out on this one, how do I slipstream SP3 into office 2003(danish) and do I need the danish MUI first?

So far i tried the msiexec /p method without any luck

thanks!

Hej Kalle !

I cant remember where on MSFN I found how to do it, but it was really simple..

It worked ok for me on the swedish edition without problems, search again, I think it was like 2 or 3 lines in cmd....

DO you remember anything about the SP3 version you used?(and where to find it?)

I'll be happy if you could help me search, like giving me a keyword or thread-author - anything that can help me search again

btw. I tried the guide on http://www.petri.co.il/office-2003-sp-3-slipstreaming.htm (and downloaded both SP's from there)

You will need the 117 MB administrative update Service Pack 3 for Office 2003. (Not the smaller client SP-3.)

Service Pack 3 contains all updates included in SP1 and SP2, as well as updates released after SP2.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en

1. Insert Microsoft Office 2003 CD and place Service Pack 3 file Office2003SP3-KB923618-FullFile-ENU.exe to C:\ drive.

2. Create two temporary Directories C:\Office and C:\Update

then insert the original Office 2003 CD into the CD drive.

3. Start Menu > Run... > type the following and click on OK (or press the Enter key):

x:\setup.exe /a

( where x represents the letter of the CD drive.)

4. Office 2003 Administrative Setup will run, and the Administrative Installation window will appear.

Type in any company name (or not), and the CD key

5.Make sure Install Location: is C:\Office\

After entering this information, click on Next, and allow the installation to complete.

It's going to appear to be installing, but in fact, the files are being copied to your hard drive.

It will take several minutes for the entire contents of CD to be extracted into the C:\Office folder.

6. Start Menu > Run... > type the following and press the Enter key:

C:\Office2003SP3-KB923618-FullFile-ENU.exe /T:C:\Update /C

Click on Yes when asked.

6. Start Menu > Run... > Paste the following and press the Enter key:

msiexec /p C:\Update\MAINSP3.msp /a C:\Office\PRO11.MSI shortfilenames=true /qb

The Office 2003 Setup window will appear and will take several minutes to update.

7. Once that is done, you'll need to update the web components:

Start Menu > Run... > Paste the following and press the Enter key:

msiexec /p C:\Update\OWC11SP3.msp /a C:\Office\OWC11.MSI shortfilenames=true /qb

C:\Office now contains Microsoft Office 2003 installation files with all the updates inluded in Service

packs 1, 2 & 3 integrated

Well I got the 117.7mb file(currently downloading from your link to see if there is any difference...

It won't work out the way I want, the installation starts but then suddenly ends(see screenshot) and this happens for both the english(117mb) administrative file and the danish MUI(25mb) version...I'm 100% sure that I've got the danish version because everything in my office is in danish(using english winXP though(free thru my university) that's why the error is in english)

I used officeintegrator by Siginet. Got integration pretty easily!

I tried that too, seemed to work(didn't get any errors but I'm not sure if it is really slipstreamed or failed without telling me...Besides, I want to make my own install so I used ork.exe to remove stuff like Publisher and to make those changes during install will need to do the following:

start /wait %systemdrive%\.....\office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=unattended.mst

and I'm not really sure how to combine that one with the setup_IO.exe from the integrator?

I just made integrator which will integrate SP3 into Admin install of Office 2003. If you are interested, download it here:

[clavicle]

Atleast I never went to re-create mst and msi files and used the existing ones from sp2, used officeshrinker made a unattended installer and all installed much too fine to give me error free sp3.

I didn't go for setup_IO.exe, rather the conventional way only.

Maybe after slipstreaming you try the unattended office guide and certainly you will get the result.

I just used commands from unattended.msfn.org, and then I made GUI using AutoIt. If you are interested, new version is out. Visit this thread:

Dude, I sow on you screen shoot that you did not typed command correctly. You are missing SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE. In your case command should look like this:

First command: msiexec /p MAINSP3.msp /a f:\Office2003\PRO11.msi SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /qb

Second command: msiexec /p OWC11SP3.msp /a f:\Office2003\OWC11.MSI SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /qb

Cheers
