Hi i've read the manual like 5 times and tried all these different ways of getting the files to copy over, maybe im just being an id*** and missing something simple. I had my office dir copied to C:\XP\$OEM$\$1\install\Applications\OFFICE2003\ and my batch read

ECHO.

ECHO Installing Office 2003

ECHO Please wait...

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Office2003\PRO11.msi /QB

I also had

[GuiRunOnce]

%systemdrive%\install\Applications\install.cmd

in my winnt.sif file.. I checked and the file name install.cmd is in my folders (infact i put it everywhere i thought it could read it from) but it is in the C:\XP\$OEM$\$1\install\ folder. When I boot it says cannot find C:\install\install.cmd and there is no C:\install folder..

I also placed the Applications folder in C:\XP\$OEM$\$$\.. and again that wasnt copied to the C:\windows\ folder.. any suggestions? Thank you

EDIT: maybe its cause i had OemPreinstall = NO .... ill post back.. sry for wasting your time

maybe the problem is too long directory name

imho they must be till 8 symbols
