batch_file.cmd not instaling setup fils to hard drive

[brrempel]

I'm not sure if this belongs here or under the Office2003 section.

Anyway, I've got a working XP unattended install with SP2, hot fixes and drivers on a bootable DVD. I've got an unattended install built for Office 2003 with SP2 and all hot fixes. Both work very well and I'm very happy with the results.

The next step is I'd like to include Office on the XP DVD so it will be installed as part of the unattended installation of XP.

This is my batch file:

ECHO.

ECHO Installing Office 2003 Professional

ECHO Please wait...

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Office2003\setup.exe

TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-

This is the GUIRunOnce portion of my winnt.sif file:

[GUIRunOnce]

command9="%SystemDrive%\DPsFnshr.exe"

%systemdrive%\install\batch_file.cmd

The directory structure on the DVD for the install files is:

C:\$OEM$\$1\install\Applications\Office2003

The problem is that at first logon I get the error that windows cannot find "C:\install\batch_file.cmd".

The directory isn't there and the install files for Office haven't been copied to C:\install.

Any ideas as to why the files aren't being copied from the DVD to the system drive?

sounds like you forgot to set oempreinstall=yes in you winnt.sif file

[brrempel]

No, I have oempreinstall=yes set.

Here is the error I get:

[Ctrl-X]

It looks like batch_file.cmd is executed, right? That would mean the C:\Install folder is present, so the subfolders should be as well. Are you sure there's no typos in the actual installation command (setup.exe instead of setuppro.exe, spaces, etc.)?

It's setuppro.exe, not setup.exe. Thanks.
