Are there any Citrix experts in here....

I have a problem installing office 200 on a PSe4 box on Windows server 2003.

Iam using the termsrv.mst from the office 2000 resource kit. i am running the following command:

Code:
C:\Office\SETUPSTD.EXE /Transform=c:\termsrvr.mst /l*v c:\officeinstall.txt
The last is verbose logging to help with the problem. When tyhis command is run i get the following error:

Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid.

I have tried various solutions from the net but have had no luck. Everything I do ends up with this error.

the contents of the verbose installation log is :

Does anybody have any ideas.....

Thanks
 
Google produces this for 77470B14-4927-11D2-B5FE-006097C998E7

I found a solution, although I'm not sure why I even had a problem at all.
I'd still like to know if anyone has seen this before, and if possibly it's a
symptom of bigger problems. I deleted everything in the temp folder, along
with all references to Office 2000 installation logs that I could find. I
re-booted the server, and then copied the entire Office 2000 CD to a hard
drive on the server in its own directory. I also saved the transform
(termsrvr.mst) to this same directory. From Add/Remove Programs, CD or
Floppy, I entered d:\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=TermSrvr.mst /l*v C:\Officelog.txt
.. The install kicked off and proceeded without a hitch.

doubt the reboot was needed but cleaning the temp folder and putting the transform in the same source folder might help
 
Cheers for the reply.


Unfortunatly it didn't work. I cleared all the files from the both temp directories and put the transform file in the c:\office directory. I got the same error straight away. i can post the log file from this install if needed, but it looks the same.

Thanks
 
I have it fixed now. Looks like it was the wrong syntax that I was using. i used the following:

Code:
C:\Office\SETUPSTD.EXE /TRANSFORMS=C:\termsrvr.mst /l*v c:\officeinstall.txt

and it worked a charm.

Essentially, it looks like I was just missing an s from transform.
