Office 2003 Silent Install

[minusbfold]

Got a question?

I created a batch file so Office 2003 Would launch but I don’t know what file I put the code key in...

I have it under

C:\xpcd\$OEM$\$1\install\Applications\Office2003\PRO11.MSI

Then I have a batch file under

C:\xpcd\$OEM$\office.bat

ECHO.
ECHO Installing Office 2003
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Office2003\PRO11.msi /QB

It gets executed through cmdlines.txt under xpcd/$oem$/

[COMMANDS]
"myRunOnceExTest.cmd"
"office.bat"

I don’t know if im running it the right way it pops up be for any of my switch less installs go in... Don’t know if I should add it to there. It does sound kind of weird running it off my c:\ when I should be running it off my DVD. If I do run it off my DVD can I add it to my runoncex code below? Anyone knows let me know thanks.

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

REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Application Installations" /F

REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Adobe Reader" /F
REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "C:\install\AdbeRdr707_en_US.exe /S /v/qn" /F

REG ADD %KEY%\002 /VE /D "Spybot" /F

Add it to your RunOnceEx instead. Don't use cmdlines.txt to install applications.

I recommend you read the Unattended Guide over and over and over again, that's how you learn it the best!

cmdlines.txt will add RunOnceEx info to the registry so RunOnceEx will be executed the 1st time Windows starts (it will NOT get executed right after cmdlines!)

There is A LOT information about how to install Office silently..no need for again a new topic, and again read the Unattended Guide..
