Guide to slipstream Office 2003 SP2 into Microsoft Office 2003 CD
Use this simple guide to create an Microsoft Office 2003 CD that has an integrated (slipstreamed) SP2 to avoid having to manually install the updates later. We do an administrative Office 2003 installation so that you don't have to enter product keys or other information while installing Office 2003. You will however need to activate the product.
Before you slipstream Office 2003 and Service Pack 2 into one CD., you'll need the access to your Microsoft Office 2003 CD with product key, Microsoft Office 2003 SP2 - fullfile version Office2003SP2-kb887616-fullfile-enu.exe and some of your precious time.
Here's an easy to follow step-by-step guide to Slipstream Office 2003 and SP2:
1. Create three folders on you c: drive - c:\MSOffice2003 | c:\Office2003SP2 | c:\tempSP2
2. Now Insert the Office 2003 CD and type "x:\setup.exe /a" in the Run dialog [x is your cd-rom drive letter]
3. Enter the required information like Name, Organization and Office 2003 Product Key. Click Next
4. Here you should choose c:\MSOffice2003 as the installation point
5. Accept the End User License Agreement [EULA] and click next. Files are now being copied to the installation pointed choose in step 4.

8b. Command to slipstream main office 2003 files.

half way down the page to make a transform MST File in other works the setting can be pre-configured, ie docs default save to server space etc
Office 2003 Editions Resource Kit ork.exe
this may only work with certain versions of office that support packaging or that have been bought with a site license
if you are installing via a server and have done the above and made a transform
the install syntax is
\\server\path\Office2003\setuppro.exe TRANSFORMS=Transform.MST /qb
assuming the transform is in the same folder and called transform
