I am trying to finish up my WPI app menu and I am having a small problem with Office 2003 that I hope is solvable. I have created .MST files for each seperate application so that the user may choose just that specific application to install instead of the whole suite. I would like to use it this way so that I can use the whole suite at work while using Word only at home and another email client instead of Outlook. Anyway, when attempting to install these seperately either via WPI or command line after the install has finished, they install fine, but I get prompted for the Office 2003 CD when trying to run them for the first time. The only app that runs right will be the last one installed, usually Word but have tested with other installation configs such as Access and Excel, Excel runs fine but Access prompts for the CD. I am assuming this is because each app wants to set itself up for the current user profile. Has anyone else tried this method or had this particular problem?

EDIT: Let me add that by using the .MST files, after the 1st install I couldn't install the other apps silently as the install would crap out. After not doing them silently I found it was running in maintenance mode asking if I wanted to Add or Remove, Reinstall or Repair, or Uninstall. I then switched to using Installrite and creating install kits. These install fine but give me the afformentioned problem. Sorry for initially leaving that detail out.

Thanks
