Using the information for the Office 2003 advanced installation:

http://unattended.ms....xp/view/web/50

I downloaded the ORK.exe, installed it.

I then followed the directions to the letter. No problems. Created my
batch file with my command line.

When I try to test my unattended installation of Office 2003 on a Windows XP
Professional desktop, I get the following error in a Windows MsgBox:

Window Title: Windows XP Setup
Text: Please go to the Control Panel to install and configure system
components.

My batch file is this:

start /wait setup.exe TRANSFORMS=DR.MST /qb+

The batch file is in the Office2003 directory.

Any ideas why on an unattended installation XP is telling me instead to use
the Control Panel?

I've been looking for a couple of hours with no success via google and the
MS Support knowledgebase.

Thank you

Ted

The batch sees setup.exe not as .\setup.exe but as %systemroot%\setup.exe. cmd.exe searches %systemroot% and system32 (the executable paths) before the current dir. Put

start /wait .\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=DR.MST /qb+
