Software Deployment

G'day.

I hope you're not really repackaging Office 2003! You'd be best off using the Office Rescource Kit Custom Installation Wizard instead of WPS.

Thanks you all for replies.

I'm just wondering is Office not supposed to be packaged using snapshot method or installation monitoring? Please clarify.

Thanks in advance.

PM me with your email address and I will send you a document I put together on Office 2003. I have step by step instructions and hyperlinks from where you can download the resource kit. I also detail how to setup the admin point and how to apply sp1 and all the other patches to the admin point.

Office 2003 is a very complex msi, but not complicated to configure once you know what you need to do.

Thanks for the reply.

My mail ID is msvklumar@yahoo.com. I'm waiting for your reply. Thanks in advance.

hey, could you send me the document also. My email is
rgarcia@novell.com

This has been covered here at AppDeploy several times, but here are the basics again:

1. Insert your Office 2k3 CD. It must be an Enterprise / volume license edition. Others will not allow an admin install.

2. Open a command line, change directories to you CD drive, and enter "setup /a"

3. follow the prompts, during which you will be prompted for location and your 25 character key.

4. Download ORK 2003, install it, and run the Custom Installatio Wizard against the .msi in your administrative installation point.

Some info is here:
