Multiple Office 2003 Language Versions and AD Deployment

J

Janus Tøndering

Hi,

We have Danish, English and German Windows XP installations in our
corporation. Until now we have deployed the Danish Office 2003 Pro
using AD group policies with no problems.

A week back we added the German Office 2003 Pro using the same
techniques as for the Danish installation package - but this gives a
lot of headache. The German version does not appear in the "Add/remove
programs" list on any English/Danish Windows XP I have been able to
check. It does appear on a German Windows XP - but then the Danish
entry is missing.

Also, when I add the German Office 2003 MSI to the group policy I get
the following warning in the Event Log on the DC:

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: Software Installation
Event Category: None
Event ID: 119
Date: 24-10-2006

Description:
Software Installation encountered an unexpected error while reading
from the MSI file \\SERVER\SHARE\Office_DE\pro11.msi. The error was
not serious enough to justify halting the operation. The following
error was encountered: The operation completed successfully.

I have tried both with and without a transform applied.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Or at least point me in the
right direction!?

Thanks.
