Quick question in regrads to creating the cutsom mst file as shown in the Office2003 advanced guide.

The example there assumes youre copying everying to your harddrive.. but I currently install everything from the cdrom using the CDROM variable. Can I simply modify the launch line to something like

%CDROM%\Applications\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-

I only ask because obviously if this installation procedure creates a log file or extracts temp files in the same directory as its launched.. obviously its going to bomb out.

Anyone currently using the install from cdrom method for using the custom mst with MSO?

Thanks!

looks ok

is your office2003 in applications folder?

REG ADD %Key%\085 /VE /D "Microsoft Office 2003" /f

REG ADD %Key%\085 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-" /f

REG ADD %Key%\085 /V 2 /D "%CDROM%\Software\FrontPage\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-" /f

REG ADD %key%\085  /v 3 /d "%CDROM%\Software\Office2003\shortcuts.exe" /f

yea... the syntax im fine on.. I just wanted to make sure it didnt try to write a log file or something in the same folder its launched from.

thanks asta
