yep, you are right. I think you replied to me in a different group, I
posted in serveral other groups and will now have to
find those posts and post finished replies. If I remember correctly, you
posted in another group to look at:
http://www.petri.co.il/office_xp_sp_slipstreaming.htm This website let me
to know of the new command in OfficeXp setup /a.
Odly enogh this website states that it is uncertain if it is possible to
slipstream the service pack into office2000. The
msiexec commands I mentioned in my post worked perfectly for office2000 and
windows 2000.
Anyway, I created the admin install point on my hard drive with setup /a and
applied the service pack and then used the
resource kit to customize the installation and profile, and I'm in business.
I mailed off the CD to the customer today. It
did leave me with one problem though that I didn't have with my word2000 cd.
After completing the process for OfficeXP, the
custom CD no longer prompted for a keycode, as it used the product key I
used with the admin install but the Office2000 CD
didn't do that. It prompted for the keycode, which is good because the
customer I gave the CD to could enter his own valid
licensed product key.
I am surprised it took so long for someone to tell me something so simple
that I have to apply the .msp to an admin point
created from setup /a and then it would work. Thank you for replying! I
think that I will just paste this post into the
other newsgroups that I requested help from to simplify my response. This
response is originally written to
"microsoft.public.office" in reply to "neo[mvp outlook]"
OOP! I just found the post that helped me. It was from Bob Buckland ?
