WinXP PRO x64, Office PRO 2003 and Local Install Source

[donny]

New system running
- WinXP PRO x64 (AMD)
- Office PRO 2003
- C: is a scsi system drive (OS Only) - 9G free
- D: is a scsi drive with Program Files & Program Files (x86) - 30G
free
- E: is 2 scsi drives striped-mirrored in software (disk manager) -
40G free

All drives are formated NTFS.

My goal is an install of Office 2003 to D: with Local Install Cache
enabled

In the installation process, I expected to see options to
enable/disable local installation source files. I did not.

After install, I expected to find the \msocache folder hidden on the
root on one drive, (probably E:, as that is were it was placed under a
WinXP PRO install) as I though the LIS was installed by default. It
was not installed.

Ran the LISTool.exe to enable the cache and it errors (after prompting
for media source) with the code 0x800700ea, no cache being created.

Any thoughts on what is going on here? Had no problems with same
hardware running under WinXP PRO.

Thanks

If you are using the setup.exe, amend the setup.ini to select the drive, and
set the cdcache option to auto
