I tried to give an answer on this part of the question. I am not sure if that is what you want. I don't want to blame you but your english is not verry clear to me .

"This command will perform a silent installation of Office XP using the Unattended.MST file you created in the

Custom Installation Wizard to set your customized options. But we don't want to use the exact command

shown above as this wouldn't exist when installing from a CD, so change:

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

to...

TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb- "

i cant understand what and where i do this .

It depends on what you want to do. If you are not making an unattended windows cd. then just put the command

setup.exe TRANSFORMS=unattended.MST /qb

in a notepad file and save it as an *.cmd file. then put this file in the folder where the *.mst file is.

If you want to integrate it in an unattended cd then there are many methods to do this. Just some:

1) you must put this command in the runonceex.cmd and start it there. I hope you know about what I'm talking. If not, just ask me, or try the second method.

FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\win51ip.SP2 SET CDROM=%%i:

SET PP=%cdrom%\Apps\

SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

REG ADD %KEY%\000 /V 1 /D "%PP%setup.exe TRANSFORMS=unattended.MST /qb-" /fREG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Programs" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\000 /VE /D "Microsoft Office 2003 Professional" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\000 /V 1 /D "%PP%setup.exe TRANSFORMS=unattended.MST /qb-" /f

EXIT

Make sure you got the path right! (I mean here)

REG ADD %KEY%\000 /V 1 /D "%PP%setup.exe TRANSFORMS=unattended.MST /qb-" /f

2) you could also try to start is in the winnt.sif file. but then read here:

http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/30/

And look arround in this guide. I can explain it all to you, but that would take too long.

So try this first and if it doesn't work you may ask me more or pm me.

Kind regards

Jonathan

Edit:

I don't know how you get the error.

@zipzapdhoomk,

it's called a switch.

office 'reducer' used?

redo your .mst & try again.

the exact syntax:

setup.exe TRANSFORMS="unattended.MST" /qb

or for a 7zip cofig.txt:

setup.exe TRANSFORMS=unattended.MST /qb

'k?

HI THERE .. I have a small Q. it may soun strange but believe me i've almost complete my project for unattended xp-sp2 windows which include 40 updates 20 add-ons and office 2003 integated and reduced....so the cd ISO is ready to take off ... now the only thing that is holding me back is the office final go (code) ..

i would like to palce it in the RunOnce option of n-lite as shown below ..my .MST is located in the same directory of office .msi

D:\xpcd\$OEM$\$1\install\Applications\Office2003

so how can i do that? and what would be the proper code that goes in there?

thank you..

Hi.

I create my Runonceex.cmd manually(without nlite) and place it(and other needed files) to winxp cd

Here is the content:
