Office Splash Post Install

[HJW]

Hey folks ,

i just thought maybe somebody might wanna use this:

I run a multiboot disk with different kinds of OS'es, and all those have to following installation options

1.Regular

2.Regular and Office (discussing here)

3.Regular and WPI

4.Unattended

5.Unattended and Office (discussing here)

6.Unattended and WPI

For those who just want to add the option Office Only like i did this is my procedure..

-WINNT.SIF (2 and 5) should have this line

[GuiRunOnce]

Command0=%windir%\system32\OfficeIns.exe

-In their $OEM$\$$\SYSTEM32\OfficeIns.exe placed

-OfficeIns.exe is an compiled autoit3 script, looking like this:

FileInstall ( "c:\Splash.jpg", "Splash.jpg" , 1 )

SplashImageOn ("Office 2003 installation", "Splash.jpg", @DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight, -1, -1, 1 )

RunWait ( @SystemDir & "\office.cmd" )

SplashOff()

FileDelete ( "Splash.jpg" )

-and the splash included looks like this:

Now your unattended office installation runs behind the splash screen..
