Slipstream Office 2k into Windows 2000?

[absolu7]

i wanted to run office 2k install right after the installation of windows 2000, is this possible? bat file or ?

Thanks in advance

Yes, just use the standard batch-file.

Where you'll have a problem though, is to fit both win2k and o2k on one CD (if you install from CD).

The switch is "/QB". The first time you start any app from the suite, it will ask you for the key. Sufficiently unattended for office2k - OXP and O2k3 have more advanced unattending features.

thanks for the reply!

i wasnt planning on putting o2k on the same disk, ill put it on another disk.

how would the bat file call after install of win2k for the office 2k cd?

That is really the problem (which we try to avoid by putting everything on 1 CD). Its not easy to automate the "2nd CD" feature.

This topic has more details - how to do a 2 CD install

One thing you might consider, is to look up these two topics in the forums:

Office Shrinker - here

nLite - here (slim down your OS install source).

Using those 2 sources for reference, you might be able to fit both on a single CD. Lots of people have done it before, so there isn't really a reason why you can't do it.
