Office XP Question

[#47]

I've gotten up to this screen when slipstreaming office xp onto my windows disk.

However, I cannot change

TRANSFORMS=C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\install\Applications\OfficeXP\Unattended.MST /qb-

to...

TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-

I can select the text within the box, but I can't modify it. Or do I only change it when I run it from a batch file? Any ideas?

It is just for example, you will change properties when running from batch file...

I think you can dispense with all of that TRANSFORMS nonsense by creating an .mst file and saving it alongside setup.exe at the root of the CD. Mine is called "setup.mst" Then open the setup.ini file found in the "Setup" directory and make a few changes to refer to your new .mst and to tell Office how to set the verbosity (is that a word )

[MST]
; The MST section gives the full path to a transform that should be applied.
;MST1=\\server\share\some transform.mst
;MST1=D:\transforms\my transform.mst
MST1=SETUP.MST

and

[Display]
; The diplay section is used for overriding the default UI
;       Value           Default         Description
;       Display         full            Option to override the default UI
;                                       [none, quiet, basic, reduced, full]
;       CompletionNotice Yes            Option to display a setup completion 
;                                       notice for otherwise quiet setup
Display=Basic
CompletionNotice=Yes

Hope that helps.
