SiBlack Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Followed the tutorial all the way through but at the end it says:This command will perform a silent installation of Office XP using the Unattended.MST file you created in the Custom Installation Wizard to set your customized options. But we don't want to use the exact command shown above as this wouldn't exist when installing from a CD, so change:TRANSFORMS=C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\install\Applications\OfficeXP\Unattended.MST /qb-to...TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb- but for some reason it wont let me edit the line C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\install\Applications\OfficeXP\Unattended.MST /qb-the text just won't delete.Any suggestions????

^_^ Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 edit the line in your install batch file to readstart /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\OfficeXP\setup.exe TRANSFORMS="%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\OfficeXP\Unattended.MST" /qb-That right there should work as the C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\install\Applications\OfficeXP\setup.exeand the C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\install\Applications\OfficeXP\Unattended.MST copy over to the C:\install\Applications\OfficeXP folder when oemprecopy copies the files to the hard drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonsb Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 edit the line in your install batch file to readstart /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\OfficeXP\setup.exe TRANSFORMS="%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\OfficeXP\Unattended.MST" /qb-That right there should work as the C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\install\Applications\OfficeXP\setup.exeand the C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\install\Applications\OfficeXP\Unattended.MST copy over to the C:\install\Applications\OfficeXP folder when oemprecopy copies the files to the hard driveI followed the guide, Renamed the path of the Unattended.MST file, yet Office wont do a silent install. I usedstart /wait %systemdrive%\install\OfficeXP\setup.exe TRANSFORMS="Unattended.MST" /qb-When Office starts to install it is gathering info or something, then quits to the desktop, no message or error...Tried the other code from above...same thing.

Refuse_ Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Did you make the source dir for Office XP an adminstrative Install Point ?Asfar as my knowledge goes this is needed for Office XP.I've had the same problem a few times in the past with various causes.- Path too long (we used this over the network by using unc paths .. solved this by mounting the unc path to a drive letter and running the mst from there.as you are using localdrives i doubt this is your problem.- corrupted mst, for some vague reason the mst just didn't work. recreating the mst solved the problem.- quoted the lines (see example)@ECHO OFFTITLE Microsoft Office XP Professional UKECHO Installing Microsoft Office XP Professional UKECHO Please wait ...start /wait "\\path\to\source\microsoft office XP UK\setuppro.exe" "TRANSFORMS=\\path\to\transform\office-xp.MST" /qb-EDIT : Try to run this manually from cmdline to see what the error is that makes the installer quit to desktop/EDITHope this is of any use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Frink Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 This is the exact line I use, which works fine:start /wait C:\Apps\OfficeXP\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Custom.MST /qb-You shouldn't have to put quotes around the MST part. This wouldn't have anything to do with the MST file ("unattended") being longer than 8 characters, would it? Probably not, but I'm just taking a stab in the dark.

Fonsb Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Okay, it works. I made another unattended install with the MS Office Recoure Toolkit, wrinting a new unattended.MSTI use start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Office\setup.exe TRANSFORMS="%systemdrive\install\Office\Unattended.MST" /qb-Works like a charm now.

larciel Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 hmm, still doesn't work after creating MST file again*btw i used office shrink*and i just tried to install it manually through setup.exe .. but the installation won't complete because it reports missing files... could this be the reason?
