Trouble with unattended Office 2003(Solved?)

[DjF]

I've been trying all night to make my Office 2003 cd install unattended, but keep getting stuck at the last part of the guide.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This command will perform a silent installation of Office 2003 using the Unattended.MST file you created in the Custom Installation Wizard to set your customized options. But we don't want to use the exact command shown above as this wouldn't exist when installing from a CD, so we will need to change this when we add it to a batch file:

TRANSFORMS=C:\XPCD\$\$1\install\Applications\Office2003\Unattended.MST /qb-

changed to...

TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't change the command as mentioned. How can I change this, as it won't work else?

(BTW I'm using E:\XPCD\..... but I don't think that is the problem)

I'm using MS Office Standard Edition 2003 with our Volume License Key. My goal is to make an unattended DVD with XP and Office for my volunteer project. Any help is appreciated, as I'm kind of new to making my own unattended cd/dvd.

Edit: I was to fast (or tired) and didn't read the text properly.

You're supposed to put unattended.mst in the same folder than office installer, and to trigger install from the batch file pointing to the folder where office installer will be in this moment, yet in the HD if you put office folder under some $OEM$ subfolder that copies it to HD during setup, yet in the CD if youre using GuiRunOnce from CD method. But as long as .mst is in the office installer folder you don't have to specify full path for .mst but only for the installer. See reference for the install method you're using in the guide.
