I am trying to load up the new office hotfixes right after Office 2003 loads, but I am getting wierd problems. WPI reports that they install correctly. They don't show up in Add/Remove Programs (with the show updates checked). They also show up in Windows update as not being installed. Also in Update Expert (program we use to remotely install patches). But when trying to install them manually after WPI runs it says that they are already installed.

Anybody have any ideas?

Office entry in config.js

prog[pn]=['Microsoft Office 2003'];

ordr[pn]=[20];

desc[pn]=['Microsoft Office 2003'];

uid[pn]=['MICROSOFTOFFICE2003'];

dflt[pn]=['no'];

cat[pn]=['HQ Apps'];

forc[pn]=['no'];

configs[pn]=['default'];

gcond[pn]=['FileExists(\'%programfiles%\\\')'];

cmd1[pn]=['\\\\XXXX\\Packages\\Office2003\\setup.cmd'];

cmd2[pn]=['%systemdrive%\\install\\patches\\kb905756.exe /Q:A /R:N'];

cmd3[pn]=['%systemdrive%\\install\\patches\\kb907417.exe /Q:A /R:N'];

cmd4[pn]=['%systemdrive%\\install\\patches\\kb913807.exe /Q:A /R:N'];

cmd5[pn]=['%systemdrive%\\install\\patches\\kb916518.exe /Q:A /R:N'];

cmd6[pn]=['%systemdrive%\\install\\patches\\kb917149.exe /Q:A /R:N'];

pn++;

(XXXX replaced the server the Office admin install resides, not a typo)

Have you tryed just slipstriming the updates into office2003 That is the best way to do it, just like you can do with windows.

I knew I forgot to add something into my explanation. Yes I did try that. That wasn't working either. Maybe I should put this up in the office forum. I redid the admin install from scratch and tried it again and it still didn't work. The thing that kills me is some of these patches worked before and now they don't. Any insight would be appreciated.
