WPI starts office 2000 installation but does not wait

[BCTunattended]

Hello everyone,

I'm using WPI to install several machines and I'm kinda stuck with some bugs one of them is a bug that is occuring with WPI+Office 2000.

The installation starts correctly using

%pathtoexecutable%\setup.exe transforms=unatt.mst /qb-

However WPI does not wait for the Office 2000 installation to finish it just goes on with executing the commands. How can I prevent this from occuring?

Second problem, I'm using the runafter and runbefore options to start an batchfile which execute an registery file. But it does not seem to be working, however when I start the .bat manually everything works fine.

Can someone help me solve these issues? I'd one happy WPI-user

I think i fixed the problem of my execbefore/after by just using the .reg file. That seems to work, however I do have to answer Yes/No twice. But that's not really troublesome.

execbefore/after

ExecuteBeforeEnabled=true;
ExecuteBefore=['%wpipath%\\installers\\Register\\programfiles.reg'];
ExecuteAfterEnabled=true;
ExecuteAfter=['%wpipath%\\installers\\Register\\undo.reg'];

"%wpipath%\\installers\\Office\\Office 2000\\SETUP.EXE" transforms=unatt.mst /qb-

Try

"%wpipath%\\installers\\Office\\Office 2000\\SETUP.EXE" transforms=unatt.mst /passive

[Sonic]

I have same problem it seems setup launch another process for the "real" install. I havn't tested Kel's suggestion ...

[psydeath]

changing it to passive doesnt seem to make any difference. every other program waits fine but not 2000. this even happens in a command line file with start /wait.

[chaoticyeshua]

It's because setup.exe just runs the msi file and then closes. The same thing happened to me when I tried installing WordPerfect 11. What you need to do is actually run the msi file instead of setup.exe, so...

"%wpipath%\\Install\\Office 2000\\data1.msi" transforms=unatt.mst /qb-

That should get you working. I created an admin install point from my Office 2000 Pro disc to make sure it worked before posting this, and it worked for me. Good luck.
