Silient Install of Office Service Packs

[Jason]

I am configuring a script to install Office 2k3 Prof, Visio 2k3, Project 2k3,
and all SPs in a onetime login script.

I use the /q argument for the service pack and it does not prompt the user
for any entry until it finishes. I get a screen, of that says "Successful
install, Push OK to continue". Well this is the problem, because I want the
OK to be automatically be assumed so the script can continue with the next SP
install. With 3 Office suite apps, I need to install 3 seperate service
packs. Any special argument that I am missing?

This will help me roll out office to 150 desktops, without having to
instruct users to push ok, when the screen comes up. Thanks for any
assistance.

Hi Jason,

You may want to review the information for doing
managed installs and updates of Office 2003
products at http://microsoft.com/office/ork
using policies and/or and Office Admin points
for the software packages.

In some cases you may find that applying service
packs on the client side when the apps have never
been run can produce some occassionally odd results.
