2007 Silent Install?
I've built an .msp with the OCT, but still keep getting the selection screen
with all the Office products contained on the DVD (I have the volume edition). When I run setup, this screen appears where I can select Access 2007, Office Standard 2007, etc. When I select Standard, the package is applied, but how can I create a silent install so the Standard package I built is installed without having user interaction? |

2007 Silent Install?
To avoid getting the setup screen that offers all the office products...
Call the config.xml that is in the standard.ww folder during setup.. Example = \\server\share\Office12\setup.exe /config \\server\share\Office12\Standard.WW\Config.xml /adminfile \\server\share\Office12\OCTFILE.msp -- Eric Palm MSFT Office Setup "AG" wrote: I've built an .msp with the OCT, but still keep getting the selection screen with all the Office products contained on the DVD (I have the volume edition).

2007 Silent Install?
Can you tell me which specific product folders I need for Standard, so I
don't have to copy the whole DVD to the share point? I tried just placing Updates and Standard.ww, added the individual product .ww and -en-us folders as well as Admin and Catalog, but the install won't start. Why would I need the Visio and Project folders for Standard setup to run, using such a specific install command as you gave me? thx |

Also...
It should be noted that if you copy those folders into it's own folder you will no longer need to use the /config switch as standard will be the only product to install so it will not ask which product to install. -- Eric Palm MSFT Office Setup "AG" wrote: Can you tell me which specific product folders I need for Standard, so I don't have to copy the whole DVD to the share point?

2007 Silent Install?
Thanks for the accurate answer, Eric. For my understanding, can you tell me
the difference between the .ww folders and the en-us folders? Why do I use the Standard.WW folder, but the product en-us not .ww? |

2007 Silent Install?
The short answer is that Office 2007 is "language neutral". So the main
office components can be integrated to run with any language.. If you were going to apply a french langauge pack for example you would move the excel.fr-fr and word.fr-fr etc folders into the root and again run setup pointing to the language neutral standard and it would then install the base (standard) in French. -- Eric Palm MSFT Office Setup "AG" wrote: Thanks for the accurate answer, Eric.

2007 Silent Install?
Eric,
I am having the same issue. My question is though, I have never needed to edit the XML files and my command line through SCCM: setup.exe /adminfile XXXX.msp has been working fine until last week. I am unsure what is going on, but when I manually try this command line without SCCM, I receive the prompt to choose onenote or office 2007, which has never happened before. When I choose either, it fails the install and then in the Application logs, it appears that it is trying to install the word.en-us setup.xml. also the weird thing is, once this started to fail, my outlook uninstall msp started to fail, as well as my live meeting and OCS 2007 installs (which are pushed through GPO) have also started to fail for server authentication. is there an easier way to fix this without having to edit every xml file for office pro 2007? i am unsure what the point of making the msp file if i have to edit the xml files.
