As part of the deployment for a C# word addin, we need to deploy the fixes that form KB908002. Using the setup and deployment project in VS2005 with a chatty install that's pretty straightforward, we just add it to the pre-reqs...easy money!
However, we also want to do a quiet install. This is somewhat challenging in the setup and deployment project that comes with VS2005 (especially when you've got some custome actions that show their own UIs
) but with a bunch of bodges and workarounds we've pretty much sorted it 
Now, I've been told that we can't use exes for a quiet install but need .msi files. No problem for lockbackRegKey.msi and extensibilityMSM.msi
Not so good for the office2003-kb907417sfxcab-ENU.exe.
Is this available in .msi format
TIA for any help chaps.
KB908002 - The 2003 exe redist

This shouldn't be a problem - you can use the /quiet parameter with that .exe too. In fact, that's how the bootstrapper built by KB908002 calls it from VS setup as well.
Hope this helps

Additionally some of these are self extracting MSI Files that you can run setup.exe or kbxxx.exe / will show you some of these options to help, I would be very concerned about not informing the user of implementing a hotfix as some corporate IT Departments dont appreciate this
