This scenario explains how to create an integrated installation of One Note 2003 and the corresponding service pack in a shared distribution folder on a network or on your local computer. To complete this procedure, you must have the original One Note 2003 media.
Note: For Office System (2003) SP3 slipstreaming please see links below.
Note: The One Note 2003 Service Pack 3 is NOT a part of the regular Office System (2003) Service Pack 3 download, and it has to be separately downloaded. See link below.
Note: This explanation is based upon usage of One Note 2003 and SP3, but will also work for any future service packs.
Before we begin anything, you’ll need to have a few things:
Do NOT just copy your CD to your HD! Instead, use the following steps:
Network Installation Note: If you plan to use this installation point to install One Note 2003 from the network of via Group Policy (GPO) you must first create a folder on your server, share it, and then browse to that share via the network path, NOT the local path.
The next step is to decompress the Administrative Update into a folder on your hard drive.
Read my lips: You need the administrative version of SP3 to perform the slipstreaming process. The regular SP won’t do. Download it from the link at the Prerequisites section above.
Start the “Run” command from your “Start” menu again. Enter the following command:
Where G:\OneNote2003SP3 is the path where the SP3 files are located, and G:\OneNote2003 is the folder where the One Note 2003 files were copied during step #1. Just copy the above line and change the folder locations to ease your typing and reduce spelling mistakes.
Lamer note: Please, please use your OWN drive letters and folder names…
This will update the One Note installation files.
Note that you will not receive any message telling you that the process was indeed successful.
Use your favorite CD-Burning software and burn the G:\OneNote2003 folder to a CD. You don’t need instructions for that, do you?
Lamer note: Do NOT e-mail me with complaints that the CD-key I gave you doesn’t work. I never gave you any CD-key, the keys listed on my site are all samples, not true keys.
