Instead of running setup /a you could copy the cd contents to your hard drive, slipstream the SP and write everything to a new CD-R.

Then I either end up with an error about setup. But I think its coz some files on the CD are hidden.

Going to try again and see what I end up with :rolleyes:

I used the office 2003 resource kit to create a quiet installer that set up all of my options for Office 2003 Professional ( @ work ) This worked great! one of the reasons I love office 2003 is that it will keep the installation source local to the computer, so when the next user logs in, he/she won't have to pull the source cabs across the network... VERY nice....

Service pack one rolls along, so I did the setup.exe /a and did the administrative install point. Now when a user logs on, it begins to search for the install source.... which isn't what I had in mind, since regular users on this network dont have access to the source.....

If anyone could offer a hand of advice!

sp1 is only 72.1MB in total :blink:

It's the SP1 version of Office 2003, FrontPage 2003, Visio 2003, Project 2003, and OneNote 2003 all combined into an All in One package. This is why it's so large. It is strange that this one will not fit on a CD, whereas without the service pack it does, but you can still burn it to a DVD.

Yeah, all 4 Service Pack's I would accept adding on about 300MB but 400MB + seems quite worrying...in Slipstreaming it you would expect most files to be slipstreamed unless these are all new files needed for updates. Oh well we are all getting the same size so it doesn't matter...just buy a DVD burner and a few blanks :p

      Agreed. And this is a great discount offer! It's a shame that there's no discount offer option for people who would be fine subscribing for a year-long term, but pay monthly.

      A Warhammer 40K racing game and a chess roguelike are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Epic Games Store has returned to its standard giveaway procedures after weeks of mystery freebies. The latest drop is replacing last week's Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest games and has brought in a double giveaway offering Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. From the duo, Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks lands from developer Caged Element, and it's a racing game that was only released last year. The title has you piloting Ork buggies, tanks, and aircraft modeled after the popular tabletop miniatures. The focus is on multiplayer mayhem, offering multiple game modes that have you fighting other players as everyone tries to survive and get across finish lines or destroy mechs. Crossplay support between PC and consoles has now arrived as part of a free update, too, giving a boost to matchmaking times for this multiplayer-focused title. If racing carnage isn't your thing, then The Ouroboros King offers tactics. The indie title is a mashup of chess and standard roguelike experience, letting players create their own armies to defeat an enemy faction, all on the familiar checkered board. There is a procedurally generated map, pieces with special abilities, relics that bend the game's rules to make overpowered builds, and more. The newly available Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
