Office 2003 Automated MST Problems

[thax]

Hi All, I have been attempting to create an MST to automate distibution of
Office 2003 across a large network. I am using ORK Tools Custom Installation
Wizard to create the MST. All goes well until trying to run the app. I keep
getting a Windows XP Setup message: Please go to Control Panel to install and
configure system components. I do not want users to have to go to Control
Panel to install the app as most of them do not have access to this area. Can
you advise what I could be doing wrong here? Thanks

Look at the installer log for the setup session. It should be where you
told it to go or, I believe, it's in the temp dir of the user doing the
install. Be sure GP doesn't disallow user use of the installer.

If you distribute it with Group Policy you won't have these issues.

I had the same problem. The UNC path was incorrect and the command
file and was invoking Windows Setup.exe rather than
\\servername\sharepoint\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=...

Hope this helps
