I have an OFFICE 2003 PRO Admin Point /w SERVICE PACK TWO integrated.

%systemdrive%\Office\SETUP.EXE TRANSFORMS=PRO11.MST /qn

OFFICE installs perfectly.

FOR now I install the remaining hotfixes with a BATCH file:

exit

This too works perfectly, but as I add more hotfixes to the batch file Obviously, the longer it takes.

A friend suggested integrating the .msp files to the OFFICE installation rather than installing them afterwards.

My Admin installation point: C:\Office



I EXTRACT say, kb873381.exe to C:\PATCH (WinRAR)



I type the following in RUN:

msiexec /p C:\PATCH\MSGR3FRff.msp /a C:\Office\pro11.msi shortfilenames=true /qb

I THEN Get the Following ERROR:



I've tried multiple hotfixes and variations with the same ERROR, any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Did you update your Windows Installer to 3.1?

Yes, is there anything else it could be or more information I could share?

[AndyUK]

Just a suggestion.

I have come across the same thing recently during updates when there are two msp files in the unpacked hotfix folder. One is applied and the other will give the same error you get. I suspect that its a case of order of installation. I'm not 100% on this as I'm still in the process of upgrading to office 2003 on my sites. But from what I have found if you apply a hotfix that has superseeded the one your trying to apply you will get this error.

Hope this helps if only a little.

I'm using the Standard edition.

But what I did was installed the SP2 version on a PC via the command line generated by the installation wizard and then confirmed what updates that particular version required to bring it upto date.

Use the MS Office update site. http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/do...incatalog.aspx
Do a custom update and then note the required KB article numbers.
That way you should get an acurate list and just install in order (numeric)

This may help more
