office installation with transform file

[scoobydoo26]

I have the automated installation working but was wondering where i can add the CD-Key to the file so the user won't have to add it when opening the program for the first time.

Thanks


This is office 2000 pro by the way.

thanks

With XP Enterprise edition you must first install it to an administrative share using the /a command. I am not sure if there is a way to skip the key entry in the standard editions. For further info have a look at

It's office 2000 not XP. I made an image of the CD on to the network drive and created a transform using customization wizard.

The installation to another test PC worked but i want to find out how i can place the CDKey is part of the install. Also, trying to create an admin install point (setup.exe /a data1.msi) results in the pc hanging at "preparing to install MSoffice 2000". Does it usually take a long time???

thanks
