SidB Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 I've been searching this for but no solution yet.I have office 2003 standard trial in a .EXE file (self extractor installer) and I'd like to burn it's installing files on a cd, and make it autorun. Is that Possible? If yes, how please (or where is it explained)?Thanks in advanceSid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-I- Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 (edited) take winzip or what ever, archive-tool you use, open the exe file (as like it was a zip file), extract its conence to a folder exmp; C:\office2003\now look for the installer, setup.exe (or setup.msi), now create an autorun.inf file [autorun]open = office2003\setup.exe icon = path\to\office.ico and put in in the root of your cdrom, now add the entire office2003 folder to your cdrom1 final tip though, - Use a Rewritable cdrom, to test this first. (you could also just create the iso (and mound it with vitual drive). Edited December 17, 2005 by -I- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SidB Posted December 18, 2005 Author Share Posted December 18, 2005 Thank you for your reply.I tried to do as you explained. But after extraction, when I run the setup.exe file, an error message pops up, warning me of "Fatal error during installation".I don't understand, since it works very well if I run the install from the self-extracting installer file I downloaded.Sid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
