Here is the thing.

I got my Office 2003 CD copied to a central installation point. Lets say.

G:\CAU\Office2k3

then i got mi Office 2003 Service Pack1, dowloaded from microsoft web (in spanish) and decompressed to the following folder.

G:\CAU\Office2k3SP1

Before an unattend deploy to the client pcs i tried to update de installation cd with the service pack, in orde to avoid the manual installation of the service pack, so i follow the MSFN tutorial for slipstreaming and I uses the command lines as follows

G:\CAU>msiexec /p G:\CAU\Office2k3SP1\MAINSP1ff.msp /a G:\CAU\Office2k3\PRO11.ms

i SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /qb

G:\CAU>msiexec /p G:\CAU\Office2k3SP1\OWC11SP1ff.msp /a G:\CAU\Office2k3\OWC11.m

si SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /qb

So far so good...no error on sight, but when i deploy de office installation, theres no signe of the service pack applied on it, cause, when i check it on the help menu it only say Microsoft xxxx.

Im missing something?

please help me!!

thanks guy

no suggestions?

im loosing my mind on this

Therein lies your problem.

Unless your Office 2003 CD was created from an administrative install point, the MSIEXEC commmand has nothing to patch! IF your intention is to install Office 2003 & SP1 from the CD, you can follow the instructions here:

and change the network paths to your CD source path.
