Office XP SP1/2 Slipstreaming Prerequisites
Before we begin anything, you'll need to have a few things:
Office XP CD
The Administrative Update of Service Pack 2
At least 525MB of free space on your hard drives
A CDR/CDRW drive, CD burning software and (This is actually only optional, but if you want to burn the resulting slipstreamed Office XP you'll need it).

Step 1: Copy the Office XP CD to your local HD
You need to insert the Office XP CD into your drive, navigate to your "Start" button, select "Run" and type "x:\setup /a", where x is the physical drive your CD drive is assigned.
This is going to start the install process of Office XP. You'll be presented with the option of where you want the files to go (I chose "c:\office"), and you'll be asked to enter your CD key.
After entering the CD key, you'll be presented with the End User License Agreement. Accept their then continue.
It's going to appear to be installing, but in fact your files are being copied over to your hard drive.
The completion window will pop up and the entire Office XP CD is now copied to your hard drive.

Step 2: Extract the Service Pack files
The next step is to decompress the Administrative Update into a folder on your hard drive.
You can run the command "x:\oxpsp1a.exe" from the "Run" menu, where "x" is equal to the drive letter where you downloaded the admin install, or just double click on the install file. This will pop up the EULA for the update. Click "Yes" and continue.
You'll be asked where to extract the update. Enter it here or use the browse button if you've made the folder already. If you specify a directory that doesn't exist, it will be made automatically. I suggest you do it in a folder called SP2, but you can call it anything you want.
Once you click "OK", the file extraction begins.
You should have two files located in the directory you extracted to. A large file that is named MAINSP2ff.msp, which updates core components for Office XP, and a smaller one called Owc10SP2ff.msp, which updates Office Web Components.

Step 3: Apply SP to the installation files
Start the "Run" command from your "Start" menu again. Enter the following command:
msiexec /p x:\sp2\MAINSP2ff.msp /a x:\office\proplus.msi shortfilenames=true /qb
Where "x" is the drive letter where the files are located, OFFICE is the folder where the Office XP files were copied, and SP2 is the folder where the SP2 files were extracted. This will update the core components.
Note: For SP1 you need to change the file name to MAINSP1ff.msp
Once that is done, you'll need to update the web components. Start the "Run" command from your "Start" menu again. Enter the following command:
msiexec /p x:\sp2\Owc10SP2ff.msp /a x:\office\owc10.msi shortfilenames=true /qb
Note: For SP1 you need to change the file name to Owc10SP1ff.msp

Step 5: Burn the files to a CD (optional)
Use you favorite CD-Burning software and burn the OFFICE folder to a CD.
You don't need instructions for that, do you?
