Slipstreaming servicepacks, just like with Windows

[The Maaster]

In windows i was able to create an instalation cd with SP2 already in it.
would be nice if i could do the same with office, installing office on new
instalation, and having the SP in there emediately.

Hi, The Maaster,

There are ways to slipstream service packs; if you would post back with what
version of Office you are using and what patches you need, someone might be
able to help.

Hi, The Maaster,

Daniel Petri has a good description of it here:

Office System (2003) SP2 Slipstreaming:

There's also a good article at Microsoft about the various ways to deploy
service packs in Office 2003, based on how you've deployed the software:

Hope that helps--
