Big problem with installing O2k3 with MST

[Dave]

I have a requirement for installinve Office 2003 onto a machine that
already has (just) access 97 on it.

I can do this quite perfectly with a manual installation by telling the
installer not to upgrade or delete the old version of Access.

However, creating an MST via the Office Resource Kit's CIW that is
specified to override 'Default Setup Behavior' and has 'Remove the
following versions' set to 'remove none' for everything except Outlook
fails.

Instead, after installation, I end up with a PC with no Office 2003
applications installed at all!

Is there anyway to duplicate this behaviour done by a manual installation
into an MST so I can apply this via group policies?

Regards
Dave

Dave,

You are probably hitting a setup feature called "feature state migration".
To disable this, go to the last dialog in the CIW and
do the following:

1. double-click NOFEATURESTATEMIGRATION.
2. In the Value list, select "Do not match feature states during
installation".

Hope this helps.
