Doing so will cause the setup files to grow to more than 900mb, and you will not be able to burn them to CD. Instead, use the following steps: Insert the Office System (2003) CD into your drive, from the "Start" button select "Run" and type: x:\setup.exe /a This is going to start the install process of Office 2003. You'll be presented with the option of where you want the files to go (I chose "d:\office2003"), and you'll be asked to enter your CD key. Network Installation Note: If you plan to use this installation point to install Office 2003 from the network of via Group Policy (GPO) you must first create a folder on your server, share it, and then browse to that share via the network path, NOT the local path (the install directory eg. \\server\share\office2003). It's going to appear to be installing, but in fact your files are being copied over to your hard drive. Step 2: Extract the Service Pack files The next step is to decompress the Administrative Update into a folder on your hard drive. You need the "administrative version" of SP2 to perform the slipstreaming process. The regular SP won't do. Locate the SP2 file (see the Prerequisites section above). The file name should be: "Office2003SP2-KB887616-FullFile-ENU". Extract the .MSP files from within the SP2 download. You can do so by using a 3rd party extraction tool such as WinZip or WinRAR, Or, if you want, you can use this command: md d:\office2003sp2 office2003SP2-KB887616-FullFile-ENU.exe /t:d:\office2003sp2 /c Step 3: Apply SP to the installation files run the following command: msiexec /p d:\office2003sp2\mainsp2ff.msp /a d:\office2003\pro11.msi shortfilenames=true /qb This will update the core components. Note that you will not receive any message telling you that the process was indeed successful. Once that is done, you'll need to update the web components. msiexec /p d:\office2003sp2\owc11sp2ff.msp /a d:\office2003\owc11.msi shortfilenames=true /qb Again, note that you will not receive any message telling you that the process was indeed successful. Quick Summary: administrative install: office_cdrom:\setup.exe /a extract service pack: servicepack.exe /t:c:\xofficesp /c apply slipstream integration: msiexec /p c:\xofficesp\mainsp2ff.msp /a c:\xoffice\pro11.msi shortfilenames=true /qb msiexec /p c:\xofficesp\owc11sp2ff.msp /a c:\xoffice\owc11.msi shortfilenames=true /qb -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office System (2003) Hotfix Slipstreaming Even after installing SP2, whenever a new Hotfix is released by Microsoft, you will be able to easily slipstream the new Hotfix into the installation files, so whenever you'll want to install Office again, it will already have the updates integrated into the installation. Download the Hotfixes you plan to slipstream. This is just an example based upon 2 older Hotfixes, not required after SP2. Step 1: Perform an administrative installation (see sp2 slipstream for details): office_cdrom:\setup.exe /a Step 2: Extract the Hotfix files Update for Office KB885828 For the slipstreaming of the February 2005 critical update do the following: Double-click the file (or use WinZip or similar) to extract the file to a folder of your choice (I called it 885828). Note that after the extraction is complete you'll end up with an .MSP file and a few other files. In this case the file's name is MSOop.MSP. Outlook 2003 Junk E-mail Filter Update Again, extract the file to a folder of your choice (I called it 892236). In this case you'll end up with a few files, one of them is OUTLFLTR.MSP. Step 3: Merge the Hotfix files to the Office administrative installation folder Update for Office KB885828 Enter the following command from the "Run" command: msiexec /p x:\885828\MSOop.msp /a x:\office\pro11.msi shortfilenames=true /qb Note: There will be not visual prompts when the process is finished. Outlook 2003 Junk E-mail Filter Update Similar to the first example. Run the following command: msiexec /p x:\892236\OUTLFLTR.msp /a x:\office\pro11.msi shortfilenames=true /qb Note: Like in the previous example, there will be not visual prompts when the process is finished. Subsequent Updates and Hot fixes Do the same for all future patches, Hotfixes and updates. Just replace the .MSP filename with the relevant filename of the patch. Microsoft Visio and Project: cdrom:\setup /a servicepack.exe /t:d:\spx /c msiexec /p c:\x.msp /a c:\x.msi shortfilenames=true /qb VISIO : VISIOSP2.MSP and VISPRO.MSI PROJECT : PROJECTSP2.MSP and PRJPROE.MSI OWC11SP2ff.MSP and OWC11.MSI (note OWC11SP2ff.MSP is on the Office SP2) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office XP sp1 msiexec /p c:\sp3\MAINSP1FF.MSP /a c:\officexp\proplus.msi shortfilenames=true /qb sp2 msiexec /p c:\sp3\MAINSP2FF.MSP /a c:\officexp\proplus.msi shortfilenames=true /qb sp3 msiexec /p c:\sp3\MAINSP3FF.MSP /a c:\officexp\proplus.msi shortfilenames=true /qb sp3 msiexec /p c:\sp3\MAINSP3FF.MSP /a c:\officexp\pro.msi shortfilenames=true /qb -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OneNote SP2 is not a part of Office 2003 SP2 http://www.petri.co.il/one_note_2003_sp_slipstreaming.htm http://www.petri.co.il/office_system_2003_sp1_patches.htm http://www.petri.co.il/office_system_2003_sp2_patches.htm http://www.petri.co.il/office_system_2003_sp2_info.htm http://www.petri.co.il/office_system_2003_hotfix_slipstreaming.htm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- administrative install an administrative install basically extracts the files from the cabinet files. allows you to run applications from the network. Troubleshooting When you install Office XP on Microsoft Windows 2000 and you set features to run from the network (Run from Network or Run All from Network), you must create your administrative installation point in a subfolder on the share, for example, \\server\share\admin_install_point\setup.exe. If Setup.exe is stored at the root of the share, the Office XP features do not run correctly. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
