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 |
thanks for all that, doing via server, yeah got the path (albiet in a different order) from running ork. tried it this was round too and it doesnt work either. entering it via run command if thats correct, though it doesnt like the spaces \\office 2003\
|
make a batch file in notepad with the path in it.
save it as office.bat or whatever, try that silly question the account youre logged in as does have rights to the share? |
If you're ever using unc paths that contain spaces enclose the path in double quotes.
Mark |
ah double quotes thats why it put them in automatically before then swapped the order...ok.
running...Microsoft office setup.for command line parameters see setup.htm ok will see what that says... |
