Zxian Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larney Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 How about when you don't slipstream Service Pack 1 and install all the updates using the standalone .exe files? Do the options come up then.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 If I don't slipstream SP1, then in the original Office setup screen, I get the option to cache the installation files. After that, I can apply any hotfixes I want just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larney Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 I think thats what your going to have to do again. I will test my Office SP1 install later and check what options I get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy2004 Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 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 Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theRader Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 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!

Larney Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 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.

theRader Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 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. 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?
