Hi, sorry if this is the wrong forum, feel free to move me...

Using the first half of your make-an-office-2k cab guide along with some info from MS and the ORK, I've been able to make an admin install of office including all my preferences, all SPs, and all hotfixes. :w00t: (I'm not an admin, in case you can't tell...)

Here's the problem: the ORK lets you integrate setup options, profile, and other stuff (useful command line utilities, reg keys, etc.), rolling everything up into an .mst file, which you run as a TRANSFORMS property on the setup.

What I don't understand is this: There's one setup file in the admin folder, but two .msi files, one for each original Office disc. (1: Word, Excel, Access, etc., 2: Publisher, which I have been known to actually use.) When I run my unattended setup, it sets up the first disc just as I wish, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get it to launch disc2.mst. It doesn't go, basically, just starts up and then quits.

Here are my command lines:

setup.exe /wait TRANSFORMS=[Path]\disc1.MST /qb+

setup.exe /wait TRANSFORMS=[Path]\disc2.MST /qb+

I need to get both discs into a single setup execution, apparently, or did I have to originally create an Admin folder with two subfolders? (This wasn't specified in the unattended guide, so I didn't do it.)

Hope this is descriptive enough. I can go into more detail, but I can't promise to use the right lingo.

Thanks for a great site, btw.
