i think you need to look here http://unattended.msfn.org at specifically the bit about adding applications to your cd and how to run them.

runonceex.cmd will do it automatically after first login

Why do u need an exe file? Does it make a difference?

If you want something professional try xplode, wpi or something...

How can u not understand?

Do a google search...

Quick reference:

Assume your office 2003 is in %systemdrive%\install\office2003

Make batch file

a) This is if you use a transforms file:

@echo off
cls
echo Installing Office 2003
echo Please Wait
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=SETUP.MST /qb /noreboot

and with no transforms file:

@echo off
cls
echo Installing Office 2003
echo Please Wait
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\office2003\setup.exe PIDKEY=whatever-your-serial-number-is-without-dashes /qb- /noreboot

Or something like that.

Save the batch in xpcd\$oem$\$1\install\install.cmd

and in your winnt.sif, under [GuiRunOnce], put

[GuiRunOnce]
%systemdrive%\install\install.cmd
