Deploying Office 2000 AND 2003 via GPO

Thanks Neo. Looks like I'll have to find another solution; this excerpt
from your linked article sums it up:

"Using Group Policy software installation
"Group Policy software installation works directly with the MSI file and
bypasses Office 2003 Setup and the Setup.ini file when assigning or
publishing packages. For this reason, you cannot use Setup.exe to chain
Office 2003 installations when you assign or publish packages. Instead,
Microsoft Windows deploys Office 2003, the Office 2003 Multilingual User
Interface Pack, and other Office-related packages separately and in random
order. Because Office 2003 must be installed first, before a MUI Pack
installation can succeed, you cannot use chaining with Group Policy software
installation to combine these installations."

Thanks for the good resource.
