Customize Office 2003 installation not working properly

[Lasse]

Hi

I have created a .MST file for my Office 2003 installation, it's deployed
through a GPO. It installs Office without any problems and it also changes
all the settings I defined when creating the .MST but it doesn't install SP3
which I added to the .MST.
I point to the UNC path of the Office 2003 SP3 file and add the parameters
so it will be installed silently.

How can I debug the problem?

Hi Lasse,

Unless you've incorporated Office 2003 Service Pack 3 into the Office Administrative Installation point then you may want to look at
chaining the update using oHotFix to be applied after the initial installation.

Hi Bob

Thanks for your reply.

I just added the UNC path to SP3 and added the neede parameters. I have read
the link before and it doesn't help me.

I have just tried extracting all the files from the original SP3.exe file
and when I run ohotfix.exe manually it updates Office without any problems. I
then added the extracted SP3 files and ohotfix.* to the .MST file.
After adding the files and doing a new installation with the new .MST file I
found some ohotfix logfiles and I can see that the ohotfix failes because
Windows Installer is already running, and it's running because of the Office
installation

How do I add SP3 to the actual Office 2003 source files?
