Office 2003 and ChainedInstall
Part of my organization's requirement's for Office 2003 is to install the MS
OrgChart 2.0 and Office 2007 file converters with every Office 2003
installation.
I've been attempting to utilize the [ChainedInstall_n] option within the
setup.ini and I do not see the applications installing. For simpicity, I
have copied the additional files/folders to the same network share as
the pro11.msi so I could use relative paths. For example:
[ChainedInstall_1]
TaskType=exe
Path=FileFormatConverters.exe
Cmdline= /quiet /passive
is at the end of my setup.ini and it never installs. I have also tried:
Path=\FileFormatConverters.exe
Path=.\FileFormatConverters.exe
and without the Cmdline option but all to no avail.
I've also tried the full path to the EXE but that did not work either.
The only other thing different is that I am using an MST created with the ORK.
But I do not see it installing or even attempting to install.
Am I missing something obvious?

Hi Dave,
is it aloud to chain setup.exe with embedded MSI to it?
It depends on how and when it is called from the main setup.

Finally got this working after downloading the entsetup.exe from Microsoft and using the correct setup.ini format. The setup.exe and .ini were not correct. That's what I get for using what the last guy built and not going back to the media. :)
