unattended Office 2003 problem

[krusty83uk]

I wonder if anyone can help me. I am trying to create a unattended installation of Office 2003 std Edition. That we plan to push out though AD group polices

I have been using Install shield 2009 and a trail copy of Caphyon Advance installer.

I am installing office 2003 Std Edition on a fresh install of windows XP fully updated and using one of they packages under repackage mode to create the MSI file. They seem to create the MSI file without a problem.

When I try to install the office 2003 MSI package I created using either advance installer or Install Shield 2009 on a different system. The MSI package seems to install fine but when I try and run one of the applications such as word I get a error message saying the system is not configured for office 2003?

Can anyone help me? Am I Doing something wrong?

Thanks

Russell

I've dis something like this about 6 months ago.

In the end I justed copied our office cd to a network drive and wrote a script to start the setup.exe with the "/qn" switch to do it silently.

Hope it helps.

why not just use the mst and the office resource kit ?

This is how we did it, get the resource kit, create a custom MST and then tailor any other bits after the main install.
