Office 2003 Doesn't Install!

[Daniel_NL]

Hello,

I finally created a succesful batch. Well, almost. When my batch tries to install, the following error appears:

Well, you might guess, its dutch for: "You did not enter a valid key".

But the problem is, i did not even enter a key! I just used the code from the tutorial:

ECHO.
ECHO Installing Office 2003
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Office2003\PRO11.msi /Q

Where can i enter the key? In my batch? or a .ini or whatever?

Please help,

Regards,

Daniel.

to install 2003 you MUST use a valid CD key, so a switch (I think) of:

/SN=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx /WRITE SN

is needed.

I tried the switch already, it doesn't work .

Use the advanced method for installing office 2003, the one that uses a MST file for installation, during the creation of the custom installation MST file you'll be asked for the Office CD key, just like when you were doing your winnt.sif file.

I myself install office2003 using a MST file with my installation preferences AND my CDkey inside. So far so good.
