Hi Simon,

In the Office 2003 Resource Kit have a look at the Custom Maintenance Wizard, which is intended to modify already deployed Office
2003 installations. http://microsoft.com/office/ork

MST (Transform) files are only applied during initial installation. CMW (Modification) files are only used after installation.

Hi all,

the MS Office 2003 install on our SOE was originally built with a
transform that had all the MS Office Tools shortcuts deleted. We now
need to replace these shortcuts. Any ideas as to the best way of
achieving this? Obviously we would like to avoid uninstalling and
reinstalling Office.

Thanks,

Simon.>>
