I am trying to make an unattend install on a DVD with all the security and hotfixes and Office 2003. I followed the guide and everything works except for the install of Office 2003.

After the hotfix integration, etc. I did the office install with the /a and ran through that. Then I added:

ECHO.
ECHO Installing Office 2003 Professional
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-

to the unattend.bat file I have in the i386 directory.

What am I missing or doing wrong here?

Are you sure your setup-file is named "Setup.exe" and not "Setuppro.exe", "SetupStd.exe" or similar? Is the path to the file correct?
Change the name in the path if incorrect (do not rename the file).

i dont deal with any of that...i edited setup.ini in the setup folder and i have it run the transforms and some other stuff so all I have to do is run setup.exe with no switches.

You're supposed to run setup /a BEFORE you slipstream the hotfixes. Hotfixes will only slipstream into "Administrative Installation Points".

I'm talking about the hotfixes for windows, not Office 2003.

I don't have anythnig slipstreamed into that. I'm just trying to get office to install but it won't.

When are you trying to install Office? is it after Windows has installed (after Windows says "Applying your settings", or at T-12?

If it's the latter, you may need to use Nankai's OfficeExec to get that install to work.
