How do I install Office 2003 with no key, Command line.

I need to perform a command line installation of Office 2003 on a single
machine with no PIDKEY. In preparation for a corporate ghost. I've been
doing this with Office2000 and OfficeXP with no problem. Once ghosted, I can
put the right keys to the right computers.

Can someone help me with the different command line options?

Follow instructions here to install Office 2003 as part of a corporate disk

In short, you embed the Product ID inside a MST file that you create using
the Custom Install Wizard from the Office Resource Kit (ORK). You DO need
volume license media & key to use the ORK tools. You cannot install Office
2003 to a computer w/o a Product ID.

Hi Dora,

To add one bit to Glenn's reply, my understanding is
that the technique you were using in prior versions
was dropped in Office 2003, except when using the
OEM deployment tools (http://microsoft.com/oem )
