Trouble deploying Office 2k with SMS 2.0

[nickz]

Hi,

I'm having some trouble deploying office 2k with sms 2.0. I've read about a dozen "how-to" docs on how to do it but I just can't seem to get it to work.

When I advertise the package to the client, the client sees the package and can run it. It goes through 2 cycles of the progress bar and then the progress bar freezes at about the quarter mark and doesn't move. I then have to end the task and then reboot. After I reboot though, all the office software is installed and they all work. I just can't seem to figure out what's causing it to hang at that point.

Now, this only happens with office 2k. I'm able to deploy office 97 standard and pro and project 98 just fine. I'm using sp3 of sms 2.0...

anyone have any ideas or have encountered this before?? any help would be great!

Thanks,

Nick

Hi,

I forgot to mention that I'm doing a custom install using a MST file that I made with the Custom Installation Wizard.

here is the command line that I am running:

setup.exe /qb- /wait TRANSFORMS="FULLINST\FULLINST.MST" REBOOT=ReallySuppress /m off2000

thanks,

nick
