unattend guide office 2003 advanced

[[BM]Crusher]

In Section 2 of the Office 2003 Advanced Installation of MSFN's unattend guide, the command listed to install the hotfixes:

cd C:\O2003updates

FOR %f IN (*.msp) DO msiexec /p %f /a C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\install\applications\Office2003\pro11.msi SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /qb

doesn't work properly...

It tries to execute all of the updates at once and all but one will error saying another installation is already in progress

Simple fix, get it to wait until each one is finished:

FOR %f IN (*.msp) DO start "" /wait msiexec /p %f /a C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\install\applications\Office2003\pro11.msi SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /qb

second mistake when you have a administrative installation

the guide doesent say how to slipstream it

this is for The Custom Installation Wizard

ECHO.

ECHO Installing Office 2003 Professional with Frontpage

ECHO Please wait...

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-

this is for the "Administrative" Installation

ECHO.

ECHO Installing Office 2003 Professional with Frontpage

ECHO Please wait...

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Office2003\setup.exe /qb-

i don't think your command will work... not without the TRANSFORMS part... otherwise office2k3 setup will fail saying you have not supplied a valid cd key
