Slipstreaming Office XP SP1 +2 setup /a error

[Jeronim0]

Hello,

I have allready sipstreamed Windows SP1 onto the Windows XP Pro boot cd and wanted to do something simliar with Office XP Professional. Both are by the way, dutch versions.

I want to run "setup /a" from the office XP CD, however I get the error message (translated):
Creation of administrative installation images is supported
only in Enterprise versions of Microsoft Office.

Is there a way around this, I would really like to save myself the download and work of installing the SP's, as I re"install my system quite often.

Rather small community here? I would appreciate any help.

I've been having this same problem. I have an OEM copy of Office XP w/Publisher and a retail copy of Frontpage 2002. I've found that Frontpage gives no problems when trying to create the administrative installation point, but the OEM disks for Office give the same error that you received (in English for me). I am guessing that you also have an OEM copy of Office. It would seem that we're SOL.

Maybe there is a way to get around this, but I haven't found it after extensive searching.

I have found no alternative, guess you have to have the Enterprise edition.

It would seem so. The part that gets me is that I too have slipstreamed Windows XP Pro and it is also an OEM version. Windows will, but Office won't, yet both are OEM.
