MsOffice Custom inst. wiz.

[Haarek2]

Hey
After installing Office 2000 on a w2k TS I try to run
MsOffice Custom inst. wiz. When I finnished I get this
message: "Buffer passed to GetRecordField/GetNextLine is
too short. The MSI file is corrupt." Somewhere i says that
the MSI-filename is "Data1.msi", but I can only find
the "STD.msi". What am I doing wrong?

regards

The custom Installation Wizard is used to create transforms (MST) to alter the default setup. This should be run against an Installation Point on your network (that you created with setup /a), not against a current install. As far as the naming convention of the MSI, Office 2000 uses DATA1 & DATA2.MSI (disk 1 & disk 2 for all levels of Office 2000), Office XP Uses STD & PRO.MSI and Office System 2003 uses STD11 & PRO11.MSI, so it looks like you're running the Office 2000 CIW against Office XP Installation Files
