Office 2003 Service Pack 2! Oh Yeah

[cyberyeye]

Hi,

Its detailed in the guide here, step-by-step - http://unattended.msfn.org/intermediate/ap...ipstreaming.htm

Thanks for your reply but i know all this link ^^

SP1 / SP2 have different files, so it's not 100% working.

Sp2 (unrar) had this file: OWC102003SP2ff.msp, and I don't know how to well slipstream it....

"SP1 Guide" cmdline is working for:

MAINSP2ff.msp

OWC11SP2ff.msp

but not for OWC102003SP2ff.msp

So if anyone know how to perfectly slipstreaming sp2 into off2033 (including OWC102003SP2ff.msp) it would be great ^^

That's why in my last post I asked (with SP2) for proper cmd line and order....

ps: sorry for my poor english...

Forget about the OWC10, its not even installed in most cases.

Its not slipstreamable for me too - neither SP1 nor SP2.

[cyberyeye]

Aaah ok, this explain the error message box when i tried ^^

Thanks a lot for your reply, very useful for me (at least lol)

@bigdaddy - don't know why it wouldn't show up via microsoft updates, it started downloading to my machine two days ago via automatic updates.

Umm... it takes all of 10 minutes to do the actual slipstreaming. Just keep your setup.ini and Unattended.mst files from the previous install and copy them back when you're done slipstreaming. Then throw the whole thing into 7-zip and let it chug away for a while...

Without the compression itself, it takes about 10-15 minutes for me...Not to mention the space savings that you get by slipstreaming/compressing.

Hi Zxian,

I wanted to install SP2 silently because i don't remember all what i did a nearly year ago !!!

I kept all the uncompressed slipstreamed SP1 somewhere in my hard disk. May you be kind to let me know step by step how to proceed???

Yep. Its no different to Shrink than SP1.

I only use word and excel and my shrunken installer.

... for SP2 it weighs in @ 37.2meg

... for SP2 it weighs in @ 37.2meg

just curious, did you use the Astalavista method for more shrinking?

I mean my 7zip file is 80 MBs (Word+Access+Powerpoint+Excel+SP1)

how did you get that awesmome size?!

You can find a really good guide on how to slipstream Office at http://unattended.msfn.org. Look under the Intermediate->Applications->Office->Sliptreaming.
