Office 2k3

I'm a little lost for the unattended setup of Office 2003.

"This command will perform a silent installation of Office XP 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 change:

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

to...

TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-"

Where is this implemented?

So, create a batch file and insert this:

ECHO.

ECHO Installing Office XP Professional with Frontpage

ECHO Please wait...

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

...and it should work?

I finally got this to work tonight after lots of time being frustrated by the lack of details in the on-line instruction guide. After going through the initial steps of setting up an administrative setup point, slipstreaming SP1 and customizing an .MST file I created a command file (Unattend.cmd) with the simple lines seen below. To create a cmd file simply right click on your desktop, create a new text file, open it and cut and paste the lines below just as you see them into said text file. Change "Save as Type" to 'all files', then save this as Unattend.cmd. Place your newly created .cmd file along with your customized .MST file in the folder containing your Office 2003 setup files. Finally, create an ISO, burn it to a disc and enjoy your newly created Unattended Office 2003 cd. (I know I do)

ECHO.

ECHO Installing Office 2003 Professional With SP1

ECHO Please wait...

start /wait %CDROM%\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-
