Unattended MS Office 2003 Install.

Hi Everybody!

Hope someone will be able to help me… Trying to make a CD that will start
and complete Office 2003 installation without users’ intervention.

Other complicating factors:

The computer already has Office XP and Outlook 2003 (with existing mail
profile) installed, so the setup must remove Office XP, but leave Outlook
2003 untouched.

Thing I’ve already done:

Used D:\setup.exe /a
To copy contents of MSO CD to my hard drive (C:\MSO2003).

Slipstreamed SP1:

msiexec /p C:\SP1\MAINSP1ff.msp /a C:\ MSO2003\PRO11.msi SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE
/qb
msiexec /p C:\SP1\OWC11SP1ff.msp /a C:\ MSO2003\OWC11.MSI
SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /qb

Used the Custom Installation Wizard to create Unattended.MST. The file will
remove all previous Office installations and will not install Outlook 2003
(Hopefully it will not remove the existing Outlook).

Now I am stuck … Can I just copy all this to a CD? How would I go about
forcing setup to run upon CD insertion and finish without asking any
questions?

Greatly appreciate any help!

When you completed the C IW, it gave you a command line to run...something
like setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.mst /qb-


Pop that into autorun.ini in the root of the CD that you create, and it
should run.
