Graham, I know of no way to automate that, even using the Office Resource Kit CIW. It is the user portion of setup on first launch of the application, and the CIW does not have any way to change that via transform, nor does the MSI package. If you do get lucky enough to find a way, please share it. Doug Delaney GM Desktop Engineering Global Client Engineering GM 1075 W.

You might want to download the O2K3 Resource Kit and check out the custom installation wizard, which can be used to generate transforms. Seems like it should be able to auto-populate that with a script or custom action.

I have establsihed Office 2003 as an assigned package to a number of computers using Group policy. The Start menu shortcuts have been established and i can launch the apps as any logged in user. Is there are a way to automate the completion of the dialog which prompts for USERNAME / initials, based on say user information from the Active Directory.
