Office 2007 Customization tool + Office 2007 SP2

Hi Guys,

I am working on deploying MS Office 2007 using the customization tool.
I had it successfully deployed on the clients but the problem is that SP2 is
not being installed after the office installation.

What I had in my configuration is,
-I have added the Office2007 SP2 installer under Add Installations & Run
Programs.
-ensured that the option to install it after office2007 installation is
selected.
-no arguments were added since the MSP file is set to do silent deployment.

There is no indication that SP2 was installed after the whole process. even
after looking under Help About of the office applications.

Am I missing any arguments for the installation of SP2? Is this a known
issue? Any feedback and jelp is greatly appreciate.

Thanks!
Armand

Never use the OCT to "chain" additional Installer-based products to the
Office installation. Config.xml is the way to handle that.

For any patches, you should place the extracted .MSP files in the \Updates
folder at the root of the Office 2007 source. This will apply them
sequentially after the Office install completes.
