Office 2003 Custom Installation Wizard

GaryS

I have run the Custom Install Wizard to include the Outlook Address Book.

I run the setup file for Outlook 2003 (Corporate version from Exchange
Server 2003) using: "\\ss-server\clients\Outlook2003\setup.exe"
TRANSFORMS="\\ss-server\clients\Outlook2003\Outlook Setup File.MST" /qb-

Everything appears to work correctly except the Address Book is missing.

I can add it manually, but it is not the desired way.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Under some circumstances, the Outlook Address Book service will not get added to a new mail profile, even though the .mst file includes a .prf file that should add it. The solution is to use the CIW to create another .prf file and just export it from the CIW; don't include it in the .mst file. In this one, you'll want to set it to modify the existing profile, not create an Exchange account, and add the Outlook Address Book. You can deploy that .prf file as an additional file with the CIW installation, post in on your intranet, etc. and tell users to run it if they have problems getting their Contacts to show up in the Outlook Address
Book.
