HI guys, Ive searched this forum but still unable to find a similar sutuation.

Im trying to install either office xp with the following code, but it appears to just stop when the progress bar nears the end.

Ive tried /qb, /qb-, /qn, entering the full unc path to the mst file, ie. etc

Any help would be appreciated?

REG ADD %KEY%\090 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\Office_XP_2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=unattended.mst /qb-" /f

Astalavista, your guide is not there no more

The error returned was:

Sorry, the link that brought you to this page seems to be out of date or broken.

one thing you might try is to make a package of office: on the plus side, you avoid the silent install switches all together. On the down side, if you need to do this on different pcs WITH DIFFERENT OFFICE SERIALS, then you will have to repackage it for each pc (**might** be able to get around this too by applying a .reg file that overwrites the value(s) for the serial).

Anyway the best package software I've found is InstallRite and to top it off its free.
