bullet Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 I've been trying to do the same thing you are talking about with no sucess. I have however found someone that claims to know how to do it. Slipstreaming Microsoft Office 2000I can't get it to work. I don't know what to do with the batch file after I've created it.I've also tried adding the updates through the "Add Installations and Run Programs" option in the Custom Installation Wizard of the Office2k Resource Kit. I can't get that to work either. Try them yourself maybe you will have better luck. If you do have sucess please let me know how you did it. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tguy Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 I had this problem too. I had to obtain Office 2000 SR-1 Media from my VAR then recreate the Administrative Installation point.From there I was able to use the slipstream methods to integrate SP3 into my admin. install. point.Slipstreaming SR-1 into a base Office 2000 (no SR's) did not work for whatever reason.Try this, it should work.

handyjap Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 DO NOT CREATE AN ADMINISTRATIVE INSTALLATION !!!!!I tried that to no avail.Download Administrative Updates forSR-1a (138MB)http://download.microsoft.com/download/off...EN-US/data1.exeand SR-3 (58MB) http://download.microsoft.com/download/off...-US/o2ksp3a.exeCopy the contents of the CD's to a directory of choice from now on called <cd>.Extract the msp files from the Service Release to an directory of choise from now on called <updates><service release exe> /T:<updates> /CNow, SR-1a have to be applied first (so I am a bit over descriptive, bear with me):MSIEXEC.EXE /A <cd>\DATA1.MSI /P <updates>\DATA1.MSP SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /QB+Then for SR-3, all 3 msp's might have to be applied, depending on the CD and version of Office 2000 you have:MSIEXEC.EXE /A <cd>\DATA1.MSI /P <updates>\ARTSP3FF.MSP SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /QB+MSIEXEC.EXE /A <cd>\DATA1.MSI /P <updates>\MAINSP3FF.MSP SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /QB+MSIEXEC.EXE /A <cd>\DATA1.MSI /P <updates>\SP3CD2FF.MSP SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /QB+There you have it, just completed it as I was typing, hope it works for you too.Thanks to:http://www.2link.ca/tips/others/other2.htmhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;EN-US;257983 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prathapml Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Office 2k is working perfectly with the slip-stream.commands from CD folder:setup.exe /A C:\o2k-AIPThat will make the admin-install point (or server image, if you prefer to call it that way) at the specified folder.Then just use the instructions as in Office XP/2003 to merge the MSPs into install source.

swdnj13 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Not to sound like moron, but in the description handyjap: Copy the contents of the CD's to a directory of choice from now on called <cd>.Am I overwriting the office, IE, EN, etc. folders. Doing the slipstream disc by disc doesn't seem to work. And if i do copy over which ones do i keep disc one or disc two.Please advise?!?! Been at this for 3 days and still tanking everytime. Other then that the slipstream info is dead on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash&Burn Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 (edited) Do you have that version of office that comes with _TWO_ Disks? if not, then you don't do that last step. Which would seem not, as the error message is indicating non-existing file...Make sure you downloaded: O2KSR1aDL.EXE, which is what actually has data2.mspAnd don't rely on posted absolute path's here, use directories these files are in - on your own pc.
