Office 2003 deployment issues

[Bob Buckland ?:-\)]

Hi Jason,

I'm not clear on your scenario where deploying
Office 2003 first requires you to uninstall Office 2003?

What is the command line you're using to run setup from
the Office 2003 Admin Point.

======
Our organization is currently in the process of testing the Office 2003
deployment. We have created an admin install point and customized the
installation using OCW. The initial install works fine when run quietly.
We run into problems when Office 2003 is completely un-installed. When the
installation is run again none of the features are re-installed, the office
setup shows X's for all features. The only way I've found to get the
applications to re-install is to run the setup with a full UI and re-check
the boxes for Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint. This is not a valid
solution for us though since we must have the ability to re-run the
installation in quiet mode. I've tried to un-install using the Remove
button in Add/Remove Programs and with the Remove All button in the Office
2003 Setup.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

We don't require an uninstall in order to do the initial install. Where the
uninstall comes into play is when our support department needs to have
someone uninstall and then re-install. They frequently do this in order to
solve problems. One of our requirements for corporate deployment is the
install should not give them a UI. During this re-install right now the
only way I've found to re-install is through the full UI. Below is the
command we use for the initial install and also the re-install. I've tried
adding REINSTALL=ALL and the REINSTALLMODE properties with no success.

\\fs-ent\tstdapps\Office2003\StdSP1\setupstd.exe
TRANSFORMS=\\fs-ent\tstdapps\Office2003\StdSP1\ApsOffStd.MST /qb+ /L*V
