I'm trying to modify the setup.ini file for office 2003 so I don't have to type in the code every time I install it on my client systems. Heres what it has in it.
[Product]
ProductCode={#######} <-- Actually has numbers in there
ProductName=Microsoft Office 2003
ProductVersion=11.0.5614.0
Recache=1

Now do I create a new line called ProductKey=ProductKey?
if so where do I put it? If not what do I do? Please Help.
Thanks
 
If it's like Office XP/2002, you probably can't do it due to the uniqueness of each CD Key and the requirement for Activation.

However, I've seen this section in an Office 2000 setup.ini file:

[Options]
; If a value is present, the [Options] section gives the values of properties to apply to
; this installation. Specify them in the format:
; PropName=PropValue
; Remember to uncomment both the section name and the value names.
;
;USERNAME=Customer
PIDKEY=xxxxx11111yyyyy22222zzzzz
 
Thanks blujacket. I finally was able to figure it out. I went to the command line and typed in setup.exe /i pro11.msi and it created a new .msi file and let me put in the PID, after I did that, any new installation never asked for the PID again.
