I'd like to submit some changes to the Microsoft Office install scripts.
It's kind of a pain that you can't enter the Pidkey into the install files =
since they'll be overwritten each time you update from the CVS. So I though=
t it would be a nice idee to have the scripts read the Pidkey from another =
file just as VS6.bat is doing it.

Take a look at vs6.bat
--------- vs6.bat ---------
:: NOTE: You must create %Z%\site\vs6_key.bat to set the vs6_key
:: variable to your license key
call %Z%\site\vs6_key.bat
if %vs6_key%.=3D=3D. goto nokey
todo.pl "%Z%\packages\vs6\acmboot.exe /qn1 /g %SystemDrive%\netinst\logs\vs=
6.txt /k %vs6_key%" .reboot
if errorlevel 1 exit 1
exit 0

:nokey
@echo *** Unable to get VS6 license key
@echo ***  (did you forget to create %Z%\site\vs6_key.bat?)
exit 2
---------------------------

Just replace "%Z%\site\vs6_key.bat" with "%Z%\site\keys.bat" and apply the =
following changes to the following files:

------- ofc2003.bat -------
:: NOTE: You must create %Z%\site\keys.bat to set the ofc2003
:: variable to your license key (without hyphens).
call %Z%\site\keys.bat
if %ofc2003%.=3D=3D. goto nokey
todo.pl ".reboot-on 194 %Z%\packages\office2003\setup.exe /qb /l* %SystemDr=
ive%\netinst\logs\office2003.txt ADDLOCAL=3DALL NOUSERNAME=3D1 PIDKEY=3D%of=
c2003%"
if errorlevel 1 exit 1
exit 0

:nokey
@echo *** Unable to get Office 2003 license key
@echo ***  (did you forget to create %Z%\site\keys.bat?)
exit 2
---------------------------

------- officexp.bat -------
:: NOTE: You must create %Z%\site\keys.bat to set the OfficeXP
:: variable to your license key (without hyphens).
call %Z%\site\keys.bat
if %OfficeXP%.=3D=3D. goto nokey
if exist "%Z%\packages\officexp\setuppls.exe" goto setuppls
if exist "%Z%\packages\officexp\setup.exe" goto setup
:setuppls
todo.pl ".reboot-on 194 %Z%\packages\officexp\setuppls.exe /qb /l* %SystemD=
rive%\netinst\logs\officexp.txt ADDLOCAL=3DALL NOUSERNAME=3D1 PIDKEY=3D%Off=
iceXP%"
if errorlevel 1 exit 1
exit 0
:setup
todo.pl ".reboot-on 194 %Z%\packages\officexp\setup.exe /qb /l* %SystemDriv=
e%\netinst\logs\officexp.txt ADDLOCAL=3DALL NOUSERNAME=3D1 PIDKEY=3D%Office=
XP%"
if errorlevel 1 exit 1
exit 0

:nokey
@echo *** Unable to get Office XP license key
@echo ***  (did you forget to create %Z%\site\keys.bat?)
exit 2
-----------------------------

For officeXP.bat I also added some lines to check what the name of the Setu=
p file is. Maybe someone can script it a little nicer in case there are mor=
e than Setup.exe and Setuppls.exe.

Guess that's it for now.
