unattended install w/ Office 2003 error...


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I've been trying this week to put office into my XP unattended install but I'm getting a strange error.

After it installs the OS it should install the Office. It's not doing it at the T-12 point.

Anyway, I made the admin. installation point, the .MST file, then I made a cmd file and put in:

start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Application\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=%systemdrive%\install\Application\Office2003\Unattended.MST /qb-

then I have the setup.exe and unattended.mst files in that folder.

However, when it comes time to install office it runs though the comments I have in the cmd file (so I know it's finding that and running it, but it fails on the Office and gives me the error:

windows cannot find \install\Applications\Office2003\setup.exe

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

I have been through the docs about setting up the install point, etc., but there doesn't seem to be really clear explanations about what files to make and where to place them, for installing office.

**I also tried writing in the batchfile that CDDRIVE=E: and then putting

%CDDRIVE% instead of system drive but I get the same thing
