LW1 Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 Hello, I have tried different ways to get Office2k3 to install in my Unattended dvd but its not working so far, I followed the guide @ http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/office2003_advanced.htm & used the batch command, but still no luck. As it's installing I can see the progress & no error messages.The following are the commands I've tried; ECHO.ECHO Installing Office 2003 ProfessionalECHO Please wait...start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-ECHO.I have also tried this one; ECHO.ECHO Installing Office 2003 ProfessionalECHO Please wait...start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Office2003\PROI11N.MSI TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-ECHO.The main files in my Office2k3 folder are; SETUP.EXE, PROI11N.MSI and Unattended.MST (along with the rest from the cd)Also, is there a way to add "My Network Places" to the start menu list, a way to show "hidden files and folder" in the folder\options\view for all folders & a way to show the "status bar" in all folders.Thanks in advance for any suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LW1 Posted November 6, 2004 Author Share Posted November 6, 2004 No one has any suggestions on how to fix this? And I thought the Moto here was;"MSFN.org Where people go to KNOW" I have noticed that over 30 people have looked at my post, yet no one has offered any help or suggestions.

djbe Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 I did it as explained here.As install command, I use this:prog[pn]=['Microsoft Office 2003']desc[pn]=['Installs Microsoft Office 2003 Professional. <i>Recommended</i>']cmd1[pn]=['%CDROM%\\Applications\\Developpement\\Office2003\\PRO11.msi /qb']dflt[pn]=['yes']cat[pn]=['Developpement']pn++That's a code from my wpi, in your case, it would be:ECHO.ECHO Installing Office 2003 ProfessionalECHO Please wait...start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Office2003\PRO.MSI /qbECHO.But there's is the weird part (I think): you haven't got the same files as me, but maybe that's because you might have a different version from mine.As what concerns your other questions, I would suggest to take a look to the registry tweaks topic, and do a search for for example 'show hidden files' in that topicAnd hey, not EVERYONE has got all the answers...

CoffeeFiend Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 There is no need to specify full path to transform. I use:"%CDRom%\install\Office2003SP1\setup.exe" TRANSFORMS="Custom.MST" /qb-At GUIRunOnce and it's never failed once. The double quotes should not be needed in your case, but it can't hurt to add them... If not then it's got to be a typo or an issue with your office disc or your transforms...

LW1 Posted November 7, 2004 Author Share Posted November 7, 2004 Well I used the example "phaeton" gave at the end of his post & it works flawlessly. Thank you. Now if only I can figure out some of these registry tweaks I'll be set....Thanks again Guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
