I don't have a file setup.exe its called setuppro.exe

if i boot into windows and run the command it will install office 2003

but just not from the windows installation

its calls the bat file and looks like its installing but its not there

Anyone care to help me please!

Why don't you try following Astalavista's guide on shrinking the Office 2003 install as shown here?

That way you get a nice compact, silent installer with no need for switches.
