Office 2003 On Xp Install

[STanger]

I followed the guide at unattended.msfn.org and added Office 2003 Pro to my XP install...at the end of that guide it gives you a batch file to run ..office2003.bat

I put that batch file in \I386\SVCPACK and added office2003.bat to svcpack.inf under the heading [setupHotfixesToRun] .. will this still give me the desired result of installing Office 2003 along with XP?

here's my svcpack.inf if this helps any

no one has a clue on this?

According to this section of the unattend guide, it should work:

cmdlines.txt, svcpack.inf and [GuiRunOnce]

Batch files can also be run from cmdlines.txt or svcpack.inf which runs at the T-13 / T-12 minute stage of Windows XP Setup. cmdlines.txt is useful for tasks such as Adding Users when using the net user method, or importing your HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry tweaks to the Default profile. You will learn more about cmdlines.txt in the Reference section, and you may have used the SVPCACK.INF Method for installing hotfixes; just think of the batch file as another hotfix to add.

An example of a batch running from [GuiRunOnce]: Screenshot

As you can see in the screenshot, its using a combination of "ECHO." and "ECHO message". Its not a requirement to use those, but it lets you know how its progressing! [GuiRunOnce] is run on first logon.

If it does not, try running it from the cmdlines.txt or runonceex.cmd

Good luck.

Office will NOT install at CMDLINES.TXT or SVCPACK.INF
