Hello,

I'm a Software Quality Assurance Engineer and one of my tasks is to
install several versions of Office (XP - 2007) on a 2003 Server running
Citrix Presentation Server. This happens to be running on a Virtual
Server VM.

I am running the Office XP Professional install and about 3/4 of the
way through it keeps asking for the 2003 Service Pack 1 CD-Rom to
placed in the drive.

I have at least two issues:

1. SP1 was installed via the SP1 EXE, not a CD or DVD, or even an ISO
image
2. I have saved the i386 DIR from the SP1 install to the local
C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386 DIR for times just like this... can I
somehow spoof Office XP install to just look there?
3. I downloaded the SP1 ISO from MSDN, mounted it to the VM, and
Office XP squaks and says not the correct CD...

Is there a way to get around this? Again SP1 was NOT installed via a
CD/DVD, just the EXe I downloaded from MS
(WindowsServer2003-KB889101-SP1-x86-ENU.exe)

Thanks in advance.
