yawnmoth Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 This page discusses how cd keys can be auto-input by the installer, for Windows XP, via a winnt.sif file. Is there something similar that can be done with Office 2003? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGadAllah Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 (edited) Welcome to MSFN If you want to do any thing with MS Office 2003 just follow all steps here: Office 2003 Introductionthen follow the links for : Office 2003 Slipstreaming | Office 2003 Simple | Office 2003 Advancedbut if you want to just enter the CD key, you just need to do it with ORK (Office Resource Kit), and it is explained also in these linksthanks Edited December 20, 2006 by MGadAllah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mailramk Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 First, you should copy your Office 2003 setup files from your CD to your hard drive.Find a file called Setup.ini (which is found in the \FILES\SETUP subfolder). Right click the file, select Properties, and remove the Read-only checkmark. Now open the file to edit it.Your setup.ini file should read something like this:[Options]; The option section is used for specifying individual Installer Properties.;USERNAME=Customer;COMPANYNAME=my company;INSTALLLOCATION=C:\Program Files\MyAppIn the USERNAME section enter the registered owner's name, do so also for the COMPANYNAME value. Make sure you uncomment it by removing the ";" from the beginning of the lines.Now, add a following line to the [Options] section: (25 characters from your CD key, without the "-" seperation)It should now read something like this:[Options] ; The option section is used for specifying individual Installer Properties. USERNAME=Daniel Petri COMPANYNAME=Daniel Petri Ltd. ;INSTALLLOCATION=C:\Program Files\MyApp PIDKEY=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXY Save the file, burn the whole folder that contains the installation files to a CD.That’s it! Now you can now install Office 2003 without needing to supply a CD key during the setup process! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
