Unattended Scripted installs of Office 2000 & XP

[SEgerton]

Im trying to setup scripted installs of office. They will be deployed via a
third party software called Altiris Deployment Solution. The only copies of
office my company has are OEM copies. Can you create unattended scripted
installs w/ OEM copies? Can a "Answer File" be created to input the product
key? I've allready created the Admin Installations Point, the msi, and the
transform file.

Hi S.E.,

You may want to check with the 3rd party software folks on what they need for this wto work. MS has Office deployment tools for OEM
editions available through http://microsoft.com/oem

Office Admin Points are not supported for OEM copies of MS Office.
