Unattended Installation

M

Martin Graber

I have to install Office 2003 on several PCs. To make the installation
easier, I have created an administration installation on a Server with the
newest service pack.
Now I have different configurations on the client. Some clients need only
Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Other Clients needs also Access.
For the basic installation I'm running the following command:
Msiexec /i \\server\share\office2003\pro11.msi
transforms=\\server\share\office2003\basic.mst /qb
For the Access installation I'm running the following command:
\\server\share\office2003\cmw\maintwiz.exe /c
\\server\share\office2003\cmw\access.cmw /qb-
This works fine so far.


Now I have some clients which have a slow line (bandwidth) to the server.
For these clients I copied the administration installation on a CD-Rom.
For the basic installation I'm running the following command:
Msiexec /i e:\office2003\pro11.msi transforms=e:\office2003\basic.mst /qb
For the Access installation I'm running the following command:
e:\office2003\cmw\maintwiz.exe /c e:\office2003\cmw\access.cmw /qb-
The first command works fine.
The second command aborts with the message, that the Office 2003 CD cannot
be found. In the Log files I can see that the setup can not find the
"E:\Pro11.msi".

Does someone know why the maintwiz looks on the root for the msi-file and
not in the specified folder?
I also tried to run the maintwiz in the same folder as the msi-file is. But
the error is the same.

Best regards (i hope my english is not to bad)

Martin
