I have tried installing Office straight from the source CD, where I get a dialogue asking if I want to check the web for additional updates and to cache the installation files.

When I try to use the slipstreamed version, only the option to check for updates is available.

i noticed an error in the project guide

the files are extracted to Project2003SP1 yet in the run command u specify ProjectSP1 which causes the update not to work. Might be worth checking the others

HELP A LAMER, PLEASE :rofl:

What am I missing? The slipstream worked perfectly! Thanks for the tutorial. I think I need to know the write settings for Roxio to burn the CD. I seem to be having long filename issues. Yes, I followed the instructions above including the shortfilenames=true command. I then followed steps from burning a Windows XP SP2 Slipstream using Roxio (relative to burn settings). The CD burnt, but no joy during installation. It comes up with missing file errors and won't continue.

I have googled a bunch, and I seem to be the only one missing something. Help is much appreciated!

This guide is only for slipstreaming Service Pack 1 updates into Office 2003 with no Service Pack. I'm sorry I am not completely following what you are trying to do here? Slipstream office into your XP Unattended CD maybe but we this guide is not for that matter. May I suggest trying to use Nero instead of Roxio for the matter of burning the CD/CD's as I find nero to never have a problem with filename lenghts but I am only talking about Office here.

Just to clarify - the windows xp reference was just another slipstreaming process I followed and I know windows has some of the file name issues as office, so i tried to use those same burn settings.

Thanks for the quick response. I am slipstreaming office, but it barked about path depths, etc. I tried again with UDF format and all other settings the same as before. It worked this time.

All is well now.

    • AirPods Pro 3 are now available for only $179

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      AirPods Pro 3 are now available for only $179 by Taras Buria Apple's third-gen AirPods Pro 3 introduced a few important upgrades over the previous generation while retaining the old $249 price. Still, that is quite a lot of money for a pair of earbuds, but the good news is that right now, you can save quite a lot of money on them, thanks to a new all-time low price. AirPods Pro 3 retain their classic look and form factor, with changes focused on the inside. These earbuds now come with five sets of foam-silicone tips, which sit much more securely in your ear, making the earbuds a perfect choice for physical activities and workouts. Additionally, new tips provide better passive noise cancellation. Speaking of noise cancellation, ANC is now much better at blocking outside noise, with Apple claiming the AirPods Pro mute up to two times more sound than the AirPods Pro 2. The AirPods Pro 3 also have heart rate sensors for activity tracking during workouts. They also support Live Translation and Hearing Aid mode. As for battery life, you get up to 8 hours on a single charge, with the case adding 20 more. The case supports wireless (Qi or Apple Watch charger) and wired charging over USB Type-C (cable not included).

      Everything I have read is that the BBC is still Pro Doctor Who but wants a solid plan before they let anyone else try to do it. Which is fair.
    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      I totally agree no one should trust governments AND big tech companies that have near monopolies in certain market segments. The difference is of course citizens at least have some say in government. Yes, requiring Apple to open up Sirsi to other AI backends is in the interest of EU customers and certainly "opens" up the platform a crack. What are you saying? I wish the US would regulate tech companies more here and even break them up in some cases. Granted trusting the government to do it right is a crap shot at best but what is the alternative? To allow a few tech companies to continue to run everything and just print money? It's crazy to me for example that in most of the world 99% of communications go thru Facebook servers via WhatsApp. What kind of dystopian world are we living in?
    • Should Microsoft be forced to stop promoting Edge over other browsers?

      You can.. make sure you have ADB tools on whatever OS you are running, plug your phone into your PC give it approval to talk to the phone then run this command. adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.chrome So long as you leave Android Webview untouched it wont break anything on your Phone to do this. I have been using exclusively Firefox mobile since it was released.
    • Popular Windows 11 file manager Files gets improved tags, layouts, and new OneDrive icon

      If it ain't broke, don't fix it. One Commander Free also available in the Store has been my goto Files Manager for years. It does what I need at a more than reasonable speed. I do occasionally use Files Explorer just because it is there and does what I need without any problems when I use it.
