Hi,

I've allways used something along the lines of:

msiexec /i std.msi TRANSFORMS=mf_offxp.mst /l*v c:\install\off_msi.log
/qb-

Update here...

renaming setuppro.exe to setup.exe didn't work.  

From a command prompt I did:

change user /install
"\\servername\sharename\office_xp\officexp\setuppro.exe"
PIDKEY=123456789987654321
TRANSFORMS=\\server\share\Office_XP\OFFICEXP\TRANSFORMS\mytransformfile.
MST /qb-

change user /execute

NOTE:  PIDKEY=your MS Office XP install key

This worked...although I wasn't able to get the install packaged for
Citrix deployment...I use server imaging so it's not worth wasting more
time trying to package it.

Use the setuppro.exe file and just rename it.  We did it with our
install and it works fine.

Subject: [THIN] Office XP transform requires "setup.exe" but I have no
setup.exe

Anyone seen this?  I've created an Office XP transform file for
installation.  It looks like I'm required to run the transform from
setup.exe but I don't have a setup.exe.  I'm using an Office XP
Professional network share that was made from an April 2001 CD, Part
number B68-00671.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!
