Installing Office with Installation Point

AAAAAAGGGGGHHHH this is driving me mad!!! cough cough

Ok now i`m calm i`ll explain. I have created an Admin share on a DC Server so i can install Office 2003 across my VMWare network and then started up the cmd prompt and typed :

D:setup.exe /a pro11.msi

But after a few seconds i get a message saying "Please go to Control Panel to install and configure components" What components????

Can anyone enlighten me please.

the network location? I would think you are using your CD drive as D.

How about trying:
msiexec /a <path to network install point\MSIfile.msi>

D is my CD Drive. I typed it like that in my post to resemble the command prompt. I have tried.....setupPro.exe /a and everything starts to work until i have put in the licence key and an error pops up to say that the installation point is corrupt!!! Tried deleting and making another but same thing happens. Very strange.
