Project 2003 STANDARD MST problem
I cannot get a working MST file for Project 2003 standard. So I can deploy it through Group Policy. I am using a vmware with windows 2000 as my test environment. I'd tried running it as a transform using the command
setup.exe TRANSFORMS="C:\Documents and Settings\test\Desktop\Project2003 files\Project2003TEST.MST" /qb
but I haven't had any luck. I also tried just using the msi files givin with the software and creating a new one, but also had no luck. I can't get the program to even start up. I tried taking snapshots of the machine, but it did not work. I have seen gp installations using Project 2003 PRO, but not Project 2003 Standard.
anyone has any success???

Use Office resource kit to create the transform, and apply it to the msi that you created the transform for, the msi for which you should create the transform in project starts with PRJ.....msi.

I did this, I cannot get it to work with project 2003. anything I could be doing wrong. when i run the command setup.exe TRANSFORMS="C:\Documents and Settings\test\Desktop\Project2003 files\Project2003TEST.MST" /qb I get the windows setup screen with a list of options, like i am typing the command wrong, or there is a wrong path. for testing purposes the path is set to C:\documentsandsettings\allusers\desktop\project2003 files\project2003test.msi

try this one
msiexec /i proplus.msi TRANSFORMS= "C:\Documents and Settings\test\Desktop\Project2003 files\Project2003TEST.MST "
Make sure u pick the right prjproe.msi file not sure that's it going to be for the standard version... the one above is for the professional

first, you don't need to put the full path to the mst, just have it in the same directory as your msi.
second, what does it say in the event log? also, try generating a detailed log " /l*v <path to log file>" as that has a lot of information in it.

it will not let me generate a log, it's saying that the file is not at the path or it is a read only file

make sure you point to a path where you can write, i.e. %temp%\logfile.log
