Slipstream Office XP SP2

[axelhi]

I just tried to slipstream Office XP SP2 to no avail. I used the administrative file and used the method that worked with SP1. Unfortunately it didn't work.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thank you very much pcservicetech for that informative post.

I didn't want to mar that thread with an additional question, but could someone post the command for slipstreaming Publisher?
Thank you very much,

Did you try to change xxx.msi to pub.msi or whatever it is on the publisher CD?

I will try it tonite.

Updates publisher too
msiexec /a "C:\Publisher\PUB.MSI" /p "C:\sp2\MAINSP2ff.msp" SHORTFILENAMES=1 /L*v "C:\logOXP.txt"

Thank you very much HotRod.
That worked just fine.

Hi

Since OXP SP2 was released, I've beeen reading that the "oxpsp2" would not install and that you had to use the 'admin' pack. Well before trying the 'admin' pack, I thought I'd give the normal oxpsp2 pack a go.

I installed OXP, then SP1.

I then clicked on the "oxpsp2" file and installation commenced. Part way through, setup asked for the OXP CD, so I put it in the drive and installation carried on. I have Publisher installed and also got a message saying that setup could not find the PUB.MSI needed to install Publisher, so I inserted CD2, browsed the CD for the PUB.MSI and clicked OK.

Installation carried on and completed then got the message "Update successfully applied" (or words to that effect). After checking the versions in HELP/About, they are what they should be and it shows SP2.

Have I overlooked something?

Any comments on this?

Regards

That's the way I did it the first time. Then I finally figured out how I needed to do the slipstream and make a new cd. But yes, you are good to go.
