gbmolina Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I made an unattended installation of office 2003 and I included it in the WPI disk so I can have it installed, the problem is that the office installation has to be run by a bat file which calls the setup.exe transforming the Unnatended.mst file so it can run. If I run the .bat file manually it works, if I call it through the WPI it won't... I have no clue why...here is the .bat file:ECHO.ECHO Installing Office 2003 ProfessionalECHO Please wait...start /wait setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-any ideas? I repeat: if a double click on the bat file it will install the office...thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Soul Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 (edited) you know office 2003 dosnt have to be run from a .bat file a cmd file or any other file in order to install it,, wpi will handle the command setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb- just fine,, i run office 2003 from wpi and i have been doing it for a few years now with every version of wpi,also if you really insist on running your batch file,, just rename your extension from .bat to a regular .cmd file,, it works the same Edited November 6, 2006 by Lost Soul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawrenca Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 @gbmolina,Your method with the .bat should work also, it just doesn't know where to find Unattended.MST...you should be able to point it with a relative path or change your working directory to where your setup.exe and Unattended.MST live within your .bat and keep the command as is.

gbmolina Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 I know, but it's stupid to make it launch with a bat file since you can add the switch TRANSFORM directly to the WPI command.thanks guys for the advices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
