I want to include in my unattended installation the Office 2003(Only Word,Excel,Powerpoint) the Proffing tools for my language and the OpenOffice 1.1.4.
The problems that I encounter are several.For the Office I have created and unattended.MST file and everything works corect when calling it with
TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb- .I tried to do the same with the proffing tools but they do not install NO MATTER WHAT.After the system has Booted they can install with a cmd file that I created for testing.But nothing, even calling the cmd file at the unattended section worked for me.Any Help is Appreciated.

Now I also wanted to include the OpenOffice Suit so I created responce.txt
[Environment]
InstallationMode=INSTALL_NORMAL
DestinationPath=C:\Program Files\OpenOffice
EndProcedure=PostSetup

[Java]
JavaSupport=preinstalled_or_none

[Windows_Desktop_Integration]
Register4MSWord=False
Register4MSExcel=False
Register4MSPowerPoint=False
RegisterAsDefaultHTMLEditor=False

[Procedures]
Sub PostSetup
SetReboot( False )
End Sub

And then called from from withing the SFX achive with these settings
;The comment below contains SFX script commands

Setup=setup.exe -R:RESPONSE.TXT
TempMode
Silent=1
Overwrite=1
Title=Open OFfice 114


My problem here lies that It automatacaly Deregisters any MSoffice Associations even in the right click (open with,new document) and associates Everything to it.I do not want that since I want it to be the optional alternative to the other.For
[Windows_Desktop_Integration] I tried also Yes/No like Staroffice but no luck.I even tried loading it prior to the MsOffice but even then the Ms did not reclaim the associations.

There 3 components are driving me crazy.Any help Is appreciated.Also note that I call them from Runnonce or Xplode...

I am doing the same thing as what you are trying to do.
I solved that problem by installing MS Office *AFTER* open-office. Also, remove the shortcut to launch OpenOffice from the startup folder (using the batch-files, cleanup.cmd or any other way).



EDIT:
grrrrrr..... evilvoice already beat me to it.

Thanks for the replies guys but still no luck.Like I said I do install it before the MSoffice but it still keeps the assosiations and I cannot understand why.Also I naturally install the proofing toolz last since it is the only way to get it working but still nothing.But as I said they do not install no matter what.I will keep up the testing and report(If I don't break the worlds record of flying Pc out of the window..)

This has already happened since I have an cleanup that cleans the startup as well as everything else.I hadn't even noticed that it copied a shortcut there....

*UPDATE* I found out what was causing the proofing toolzs not to install.I removed the Attrib of system and hidden to the cab I included and they installed ok.I donnot know why but leaving this attribs on made them unable to instal in the Prelogin or t12 but still they installed after loging in using the install.cmd I had created.Now the assosiations remain...

Question.I know I can remove a registry value from a bat,cmd using the - before the HKCM call .Is is possible to give the reg file to remove?If possible I can use the Reg file that assosiates the oppen office to remove the assosiations?

Another Question.
DOES THESE SWITCHES WORK AT ALL??

[Windows_Desktop_Integration]
Register4MSWord=No
Register4MSExcel=No
Register4MSPowerPoint=No
RegisterAsDefaultHTMLEditor=No

I have been trying all day in my current system to make it install without taking over everything and still no go.I tried No,False,"No","False".spaces,()....

HAS ANYONE MADE THIS WORK WITHOUT TOUCHING THE ASSOCIATIONS??
This is driving me crasy!!!!!!!!!!
