you may need to create an administrative install copy of office 2003.

or installing Office 2003 Resource Kit and run Custom Installation Wizard. however, with this, you may need to enter the proper syntax when starting the office 2003 installation.

Yep I followed the above way and had no problems.

ECHO.
ECHO Installing Office XP Professional with Frontpage
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\OfficeXP\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-

^^^that was what I had to copy to my batch file after running the Resource Kit etc.

HI

thanks for the reply

i think ill try the resource kit method seems easier when you have code to work by

cheers
