I am using the upgrade from within the Office XP GPO. I have tried
creating a seperate GPO for Office 2003 and linking it through the
upgrade tab on the Office XP GPO. I have also tried creating a new
package for Office 2003 inside the Office XP GPO. The issue is that I
cannot see a the package if it is in the computer configuration
section of the GPO. I can see it if I place the package in the user
configuration section. I'm beginning to think that I might not be
able to do this because of a limitation on group policies. If I could
find another way to have Office 2003 automatically installed after
Office XP is unistalled I would be happy.
Thanks again for your assistance.
