Install Issue with Transform File between msiexec and setup.exe

D

Daniel Perkins

Hopefully someone out there can help me

Software: Office 2003 Std.

Issue:

We have create a VBS Script we want to install along with Office 2003 on our
notebooks.

We used the Office resource kit to create a transform file that copies it to
install directory and adds a shortcut to the menu.

When we used a GPO to push out the install the file was not being copied and
no shortcut was being created.

Investigation:

When installing the Office 2003 Std. with the transform option on the
SETUP.exe the file and shortcut are created correctly.

When I use msiexec, the files and shortcut were not created.

From looking at the logs, it seems that the following sections only exist in
the setup install log and not the msiexec install log:
