the_duck Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I got the paths and command lines to call upon setups etc. Well, it gets to office it starts the setup and it disappears. The batch file moves onto the next item to install without finishing office. Ideas? Here is what I have:ECHO.ECHO Installing Office 2003ECHO Please wait...start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\OfficeXP\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-I've done the footwork in the search area and I didn't come up with anything helpful. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_duck Posted September 13, 2004 Author Share Posted September 13, 2004 I think i left something out in the syntax...am I right?should be?start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Office11\setup.exe TRANSFORMS="Unattended.MST" /qb- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_duck Posted September 13, 2004 Author Share Posted September 13, 2004 this is what the office prep tool gives me:setup.exe TRANSFORMS=C:\XPSP1a_ENG_PRO\$OEM$\$1\Install\Office11\Unattended.MST /qb- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 this is what the office prep tool gives me:setup.exe TRANSFORMS=C:\XPSP1a_ENG_PRO\$OEM$\$1\Install\Office11\Unattended.MST /qb-Don't forget that the Office Prep tool is going by the directory structure you've got when you create the MST. In reality, your structure won't have the $OEM$\$1 in it (as we discussed in the other thread). Try the command below (make sure that setup.exe is in the Office11 directory and if it isn't, adjust the line accordingly):start /wait "%systemroot%\Install\Office11\setup.exe" TRANSFORMS="C:\Install\Office11\Unattended.MST" /qb- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_duck Posted September 13, 2004 Author Share Posted September 13, 2004 So...I changed the line accordingly and it told me that it could not find the 'transform' blah blah. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_duck Posted September 13, 2004 Author Share Posted September 13, 2004 Yeah...the path points straight to the file:start /wait "%systemroot%\Install\Office11\setup.exe" TRANSFORMS="C:\Install\Office11\Unattended.MST" /qb-Path>HD C:\Install\Office11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
