Outlook 2003 deployment

Usage and Config Platform
1

(imported topic written by wolverine23)

I’m using an advertisement installation of outlook 2003 with administrative installation and MST file from null session folder.

It is working fine, only I have a problem.

After advertisement installation is done, the user needs to execute the shortcut from :

Start - programs - microsoft office - microsoft office outlook 2003

Also it is working fine because the outlook is installed with the same configuration the user had.

I tried to start the link adding the command in the action after this installation, this command line function work but I get fatal xp error with this command.

dos ““microsoft office outlook 2003.lnk””

Someone knows anhoter form to execute lnk files when an application is installed from bigfix ?

For the user the installation needs to be transparent.

thanks.

regards

wolverine.

Hi, Jesse

Specifically I have an advertisement installation of outlook 2003 ( task ) as follow:

1.Wait “\server\office2003admin\setup.exe” /jm “\server\office2003admin\off2003admin\pro11.msi” /t “\server\office2003admin\outlook.mst” /qb- /nocancel=1

2.DOS cmd /c “C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office\Microsoft Office Outlook 2003.lnk”

When I send the action from bigfix I get the next message :

Error signature

AppName: outlook.exe AppVer: 11.0.6565.0 AppStamp:42cacc7d

ModName: mso.dll ModVer: 11.0.6568.0 Mod Stamp:42e18ef6

fDebug: 0 Offset: 0003446c

The first command is function normally, the problem is the second command ( dos cmd )

But if execute this commands manually, outlook 2003 is installed successfully.

Any idea, thanks.

regards.
