Slipstreamed Office 2003 SP3 installs from share, fails from CD

[Zane]

Hi all,

this one is driving me mad.

I created an admin install of Office 2003 with this

e:\setup /a MSINODISABLEMEDIA=1

This installs flawless both from a network share and from CD.

Then I slipstreamed SP3 in it with this

msiexec /p d:\pacchi\sp_scompattato\MAINSP3.msp /a d:\OfficeAdminInstall\PRO11.MSI shortfilenames=true MSINODISABLEMEDIA=1 /q

msiexec /p d:\pacchi\sp_scompattato\OWC11SP3.msp /a d:\OfficeAdminInstall\OWC11.MSI shortfilenames=true MSINODISABLEMEDIA=1 /qb

The sliptreamed installation works as well as log as it's on a network share but (**** it) fails when I run it from a already-double-verified-CD: I get a "Insert Office CD" message.

MSINODISABLEMEDIA should prevent exactly this kinda stuff, but it ain't working...

Any suggestion will be really REALLY appreciated.

Using empty CD label should solve the problem. Also, there is one critical update for office which should be slipstreamed, but only for some languages, English for example is not affected.

Thank you for your reply

I forgot to mention: I already tried that one, but I still get the problem

Uhmm, interesting... I'm working on an italian Office.

Could you please be more specific? which one?

I checked and Italian version is affected. Here is the link.

I can't understand WTF, but I tried to re-burn a CD with no label, and this time it worked. This is really, REALLY wired, since I did everything again as I did the first time!!! but now everything is ok...

Anyway, thanks again for your time.

OK, but I would strongly suggest that you integrate this update, if you want that your uninstall works properly.
