Office 2k3 setup.ini modification for GPO deployment

[mofohead]

I have Office 2003 setup to install via group policy. All is good. However, I want this to perform a 'complete' install or at least copy the installation source locally to the machine that is having Office installed. I'm not sure I understand what exactly to do with the .ini file. Here is a copy of the cache section of the setup.ini file:
------------------------------------------------------------
[Cache]
; The cache section provides settings for caching the install source locally
; Value Default Description
; CDCACHE 2 Option to specify cache level
; [auto, 0, 1, 2]
; LOCALCACHEDRIVE <predefined> Option to specify a drive to cache
; the install source to
; DELETABLECACHE 1 Option to display UI to remove the
; cache at the end of setup [0,1]
; PURGE 0 Option to always remove cache at end of
; setup [0,1]
CDCACHE=auto
;LOCALCACHEDRIVE=C:\
DELETABLECACHE=1
PURGE=0
------------------------------------------------------------

Do I simply need to remove the semicolon to &quot;unremark&quot; the LOCALCACHEDRIVE=C:\ or are there other changes that need to be made as well??? I do not want to purge the installation source at the completion of the install.

Thanks a bunch

Check out this link / download.

Download and install ork.exe at the bottom of the page. The kit lets you set various install options and spits out a transform when it is done. If you do an advanced deployment in the GPO you can apply the transform on the modify tab.

Hope this helps.

hi,
I have a AD 2000 and I want deploy office 2003 via GPO, but I receive this error message:
"Add operation failed. Unable to extract deployment information from the package. Run validation on the package to ensure that the package is correct."
Any idea?

Thanks in advance
