i know how to resolve it as is, dont fancy doing this for 200 pc's though. as mentioned its for deployment. need to fix the initial package for deployment.
anyone know where these install files are stored when installing office (unless you tick the box that says delete install files, when initially installing office)
I'm assuming you've used a cached installation in which case Office 2003 files will be in a hidden folder on the root of the largest drive for example C:\MSOCache. If you've used an Adminstrative Installation then it will be pointing back to the folder it was installed from. for example \\SERVER\SHARE\MSOFFICE.20
If you're deploying Office 2003 in Cache Mode make sure you download ENTSetup.exe from Microsoft, uncompress the Setup.exe and rename it to MySetup.exe in the root of the Office 2003 folder, then simple open up Files\Setup\ Folder and create a copy of the .ini that you were using previously, for example if you were using SetupPro.exe to start the installation previously, just copy ...\Files\Setup\SetupPro.i

To resolve this behavior, start the Setup program for Office. To do this, follow these steps:
Insert the Microsoft Office 2003 CD in your CD drive or DVD drive.
If the Setup program does not start automatically, locate the Setup.exe file on the CD, and then double-click the file to start Setup.
After the Setup window appears, cancel Setup, and then respond to the prompts to exit Setup.
Note You do not have to complete the Setup program. Setup fixes the error condition when it is first invoked.
