Why does this *work*? (Using MST & autrun.inf on CD)

Posted: 21 May 2004 01:02 PM PDT

Now try to make you a custom setup.ini file with all the patches chained during install. Have the patches on the CD as well. See how well Microsoft's stuff just *works* (or not)!

MSO2003 & speech recognition

Posted: 20 May 2004 04:51 AM PDT

Hi Vincas,

I don't have the list of all of the localised versions with me,
but the English language speech engine is not part of the Lithuanian
Office 2003 localized edition CDs as I understand it.

Hi, Bob,
thanks for Your replay, but I must itemise my question - I'm not looking for
Lithuanian Speech Recognition, I just want to use English SR. Is it
positively impossible in localized MSO versions at all?
thanks,

Installin Office 2003

Posted: 19 May 2004 05:39 PM PDT

YOu can install Office on both partitions but to have Outlook use the same
..pst file, move your current .pst file to the drive/location of your choice.
Open Outlook on each partition - then close it and delete the new .pst file
it creates. Open Outlook again and when it complains, point it to the .pst
file you saved. Open the other partition and and do the same for finding
the .pst file.

There, they now share the same .pst file.

Also, it should be noted that the "huge" bar is whatever width you leave it
at. You can make it more narrow or wide to suit your taste.

Office 2003 Administrative Install

Posted: 17 May 2004 08:57 PM PDT

No the latest setup won't help you here...

Even though as you step through the CIW it would appear that it allows this, it doesn't. Microsoft has stated that to create a Local Installation Source requires that the installation source be in compressed form (i.e. from the CD), not uncompressed form of admin install point.

Like you I wanted the best of both worlds so to speak. I settled on copying the CD to disk and running CIW against the MSI there to create my custom transform. See:
http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/2003/two/ch3/DepC06.htm

I'm using the latest setup.exe from:
http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/2003/journ/NewSetupEXE.htm

and using the new ENFORCECACHE in the setup.ini file. In addition to setting:
CDCACHE=2
DELETEABLECACHE=0

this "Sets the local installation source to NoCleanUp in the Windows registry, so that even when users run the Disk Cleanup Wizard, the local installation source is not removed. "

This all works fine for the install, but the problem I am having with this setup is that if I try to chain updates to office in the setup.ini file I get prompted for the installation media!!! At this point nothing satisfies that request and I have to abort the patch install. Even if I try to apply the "full" patch (which isn't supposed to require the install files) not the "binary" patch I get prompted for the media. I have way over the 2.5GB required to get the complete source cached local. I have verified it is there with the files present (although after the first failed patch a few files like sku011.cab are removed and later prompted for when you try to run that same patch again or another one) and that the permissions are correct for access to it. Also since I have CDCACHE=2 in the setup.ini (which I verified from looking at the setup logs is getting parsed correctly), the install should abort if it can not cache the source.

Anyway sorry for stating my current problems in your thread, just wanted you to see some of the issues that might be in your future! :-) I will start another thread for this "chained updates" issue, but if anyone has successfully chained updates please let me know. I am following this:

1706 error on non-admin account on win xp

Posted: 17 May 2004 01:01 PM PDT

Hi Joel,

1706 error is: No valid source could be found for product X. There are a
few possible reasons for this.

1. Only Administrators have access to the Office Admin Point on the network
- Add appropriate permissions to source files.
2. There are some missing registry keys that need to be repared. Follow the
articles in Issue 2 to make sure the appropriate keys are there.

Raghu,

Thank you for the quick reply. However, I was able to fix
the problem before I received your solution. I did some
more digging at Microsoft's support area and ended up
downloading and installing the latest MS Jet 4.0 Database
engine. All is fine now.

Thanks again.

Two versions again-language issue

RESOLUTION:
=============
Operating system considerations for a multilingual installation of
Office The Microsoft Windows 2000 and Microsoft Windows XP operating
systems both support international features of Microsoft Office 2003. In
some cases, you
may need to set a specific system locale for Office to support the
desired language.........

Thank you very much for your exhaustive description. I will study it and act
accordingly.

From my first reading, do I understand correctly that under WinXP, with MS
Office 2003, I will not need MS Office 2000 any more to provide me with
access to the Speller and Grammar in the second language (Czech), as well as
Menu and Help? Providing, of course, that I follow your instructions.

Thank you.

How does Detect & Repair work on Office2000 SR-1?

Um, but if it doesn't ask for the ***SR-1*** CD-ROM with the ORIGINAL SR-1
files, then it doesn't appear to really be doing what you're claiming, is
it?

Office 2003 deployment w/o volume key

Posted: 16 May 2004 03:56 AM PDT

vishal subramaniam (msft) wrote: 

Thanks, but my problem is not how to do the deployment (I know the
setup.ini and MST methods), my problems are

1) how can I provide a unique product-ID for each computer

2) how can I automate the Office 2003 activation across the Internet.

I think, 1) is not a big deal since I can extract the correct key for
the computer that is currently installed and put it (PIDKEY=[string])
into the setup.ini by some VBS-Magic.
For 2) I found no solution. Windows XP activation can be automated by
using WMI (win32_WindowsProductActivation) but as far as I know there is
no corresponding method for Office 2003.

Reactivating should not require the CD - just activate as you did before.
