Thanks Paul

I removed the back-slash:

It now looks like this:

                                    <variable name="exe-source" 
value="\\IP\wpkg\soft\office13"/>

                                    <variable name="msp-source" 
value="\\IP\wpkg\soft\office13\1customfile"/>

<install cmd= " %comspec% /C start /WAIT  %EXE-SOURCE%\setup.exe /adminfile
                          %MSP-SOURCE%\myoffice2013.msp" timeout="0"> </install>

However I still get "The parameter is incorrect" error.

I just executed the command directly from command prompt and it didn't complain, I got prompted to hit "Install" which I did and is installing office now but doesn't work when launching the command through wpkg.
