ivwolferen Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 (edited) Hey people,After succesfully creating my first unattended XP installation, i decided to add some applicationsand windows components. I am using RunOnceEx, my file looks like this:@echo offSET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceExREG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Windows componenten en programma's installeren" /fREG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D ".NET Framework 1.1 + SP1" /fREG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Microsoft\NETframework11+SP1\netfx.exe" /fREG ADD %KEY%\002 /VE /D ".NET Framework 2.0" /fREG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Microsoft\NETframework20\dotNET20_silent.exe" /fREG ADD %KEY%\003 /VE /D "Visual J# Runtime files update" /fREG ADD %KEY%\003 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Microsoft\VisualJ#RedistributablePackagedotNET20\install.exe /Q" /fREG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Acrobat Reader 6" /fREG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\AcrobatReader\AR6.exe -p\"-s /v\"/qn \"\"" /fREG ADD %KEY%\006 /VE /D "Java 2 Runtime environment V5.0 Update 6" /fREG ADD %KEY%\006 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\JavaRuntime\Java50.msi /passive" /fREG ADD %KEY%\075 /VE /D "WinRAR 3.20" /fREG ADD %KEY%\075 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\winrar\WinRAR320.exe /s" /fREG ADD %KEY%\076 /VE /D "Nero 6.3.1.17" /fREG ADD %KEY%\076 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Nero\Nero63117.exe /SILENT /NOREBOOT /SN=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX /WRITE_SN" /fREG ADD %KEY%\077 /VE /D "Daemon tools 3.4.7" /fREG ADD %KEY%\077 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Daemon\Daemon347.msi /passive" /fREG ADD %KEY%\079 /VE /D "Office 2003 Proffesional + SP2" /fREG ADD %KEY%\079 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Microsoft\OfficeProff2003+SP2\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-" /fREG ADD %KEY%\155 /VE /D "Opruimen en opnieuw opstarten" /fREG ADD %KEY%\155 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\cleanup.cmd" /fEXITAs you can see, i have .NET 1.1 + SP1 (Slipstreamed).NET 2.0j# runtimeAcrobat readerWinrarNeroDeamon toolsOffice 2K3The problem is, when i test this unattended installation, everything is installed execpt office 2K3.The installer runs, but stops without returning a message, and office isn;t installed.I tested the office installation only by removing all other program entry's from RunOnxeExand voila, office installed correctly.I suspect that the .NET frameworks cause some files to be locked beacause it requires a reboot,and thus office 2K3 cannot acces these file while installing. Is there anyone who can confirm this?Or have had similar problems? Edited January 18, 2006 by ivwolferen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 There is a known problem with installing Office 2003 at T-12. Search for Nankai's post about it. He's made a custom installer that gets around this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico.JohnnY Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I install .Net Framework 1.1 at T12, then .Net Framework 2.0 and office 2k3 at RunOnceEx. Everything goes well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueSpear Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 (edited) There is a known problem with installing Office 2003 at T-12. Search for Nankai's post about it. He's made a custom installer that gets around this.He's installing it from RunOnceEx, not svcpack.inf.I install both .NET 1.1 and Office 2003 from svcpack.inf and don't have any issues like that so I don't think there's a conflict in that regard. You may want to make an administrative installation point of Office 2003 and try installing it that way.msiexec /i pro11.msi TRANSFORMS=unattended.mst /qnIf you do decide to install from svcpack.inf, you'll need to edit the .msi file. The registry entries regarding error reporting must be removed. Edited January 21, 2006 by RogueSpear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueSpear Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 (edited) You'll need to delete the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PCHealth from the .msi file. I've found this necessary with other installers as well. Some examples are Microsoft Producer for PowerPoint, MSN Messenger, and Windows Live Messenger. If an application supports Application Error Reporting, you'll need to find the registry key with "PCHealth" in it, and delete it from the .msi file.

ivwolferen Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 i install office 2003 with sp2 integrated and is working ewll. i run it fomr RunOnceEx like you. i install the 1.1 and 2.0 frameworks first and tons of programs before office and it still get installed correclty without any problems.are you using the admin install files or the original setup files? i use the created admin install point files that office generates using msiexec /a officepath (i cant remember exactly the syntax right now).I use the method described at MSFN MSFN unattended officeThat is the administrative installation i think.B.t.w. running the office installation in my RunOnceEx and ONLY Office (so i removed all other program installations), things turn out great!
