This is a silent installer and uninstaller for MS Office 2003 in MSI format.

   <package
       id="msoffice2003"
       name="Microsoft Office 2003"
       revision="1"
       reboot="true"
       priority="0">
       <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003" />

       <install cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\MS Office 2003\PRO11.MSI" /q allusers=1 ADDLOCAL=ALL' />

       <remove  cmd='MsiExec.exe /q /x{90110407-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9}' />

   </package>

Note: To extract the contents of the Office CD to a network installation point (which you can point to in the custom installation wizard), run setup.exe on the CD with the /a switch. See http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ork2003/HA011401931033.aspx

Alternatively (this is the method we use) Download the Microsoft Office Resource Kit ([download]) and run the Custom Installation Wizard. This will enable you to add your Product Key along with configuring all of the settings of the Office Programs you choose to install (Word, Excel, Access).

Your package file then looks like

   <package
       id="office2003"
       name="Microsoft Office 2003"
       revision="0"
       reboot="false"
       priority="0">
       <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003" />
       <install cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\Office2003\PRO11.MSI" TRANSFORMS=%SOFTWARE%\Office2003\Office.MST /qb-' />
       <remove  cmd='MsiExec.exe /q /x{90110407-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9}' />
   </package>
