Office 2007 Silent Repair and Uninstall Scripts
"\\server\share\Office12\setup.exe /repair ProPlus" will repair Office 2007,
but it requires user input at the end to press OK and then to reboot. Back in the msi days I'd use /qn REBOOT="ReallySuppress" to make repairs silent and not reboot for SMS. Is there a way to make /repair silent and if possible not reboot? The same goes for /uninstall. I looked at "Setup command-line options for the 2007 Office system" at http://technet2.microsoft.com/Office....mspx?mfr=true but it didn't have any silent or no reboot switches.

Office 2007 Silent Repair and Uninstall Scripts
Hi Loc,
In addition to the Setup.exe switches for Office 2007, you may need to also use a customized Config.xml file, with an entry there to set the Interface (UI) display level along these lines: ============== Configuration Product="ProPlus" Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes" / /Configuration =============== For information on the Config.xml 'switches'/settings this portion of the Microsoft Office 2007 Resource Kit (ORK2007) may be helpful: http://technet2.microsoft.com/Office...3999e1033.mspx Let us know if this works for you please. ================= "Loc750" wrote in message ...

Office 2007 Silent Repair and Uninstall Scripts
According to your link, I do not need CompletionNotice, SuppressModal,
NoCancel, or AcceptEULA since Display Level is set to None, so I tried Configuration Product="ProPlus" Display Level="None" / Setting Id="Reboot" Value="Never" / /Configuration Neither the repair (setup.exe /repair ProPlus) or uninstall (setup.exe /uninstall ProPlus) are silent and both want to reboot. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and got the same result. I had already set the Display Element settings in the Display level section of the Office Customization Tool (OCT), but there is also the Setting Element. I went back and took a second look at Modify Setup properties and added SETUP_REBOOT and set it to Never. The OCT says Modify Setup properties settings only apply to new installs, so again I uninstalled and reinstalled. The result is the same they are not silent and both want to reboot. I’m thinking that Config.xml and the OCT’s .msp only apply to installs because I’ve never had a problem installing Office 2007 silently and without reboot in either .bat scripts or SMS advertisements.

Office 2007 Silent Repair and Uninstall Scripts
Hi Loc750,
In your sample command lines you don't appear to be calling the specific config.xml file. For a repair you generally shouldn't need to reaccept the EULA. The Installation .msp file generally would be for initial installation. ================= "Loc750" wrote in message ...

Office 2007 Silent Repair and Uninstall Scripts

Office 2007 Silent Repair and Uninstall Scripts
This information has been very helpful for me. The question I have is: What
is the minimum set of source files I need to perform the uninstall? I don't want our users to need access to all 400+MB of the source files just to perform a silent uninstall of the package.

Office 2007 Silent Repair and Uninstall Scripts
Hi Jerrold,
I'm not sure I'm clear on what you're looking for in this case. Office 2007 has a required deployment of the Local Installation Source (LIS) to the root \MSOcache folder and the actial install occurs from the local Install Source on each machine, so users do, by that, have access to th source files (well at least their machines do g). If you're uninstalling then you may also want to remove the LIS at that point if you're not going to reinstall later. ================= "Jerrold" wrote in message ...

Office 2007 Silent Repair and Uninstall Scripts
Yeah by default I set SMS to reboot the computer once the Advertisement is
run, and I reboot when running the scripts manually, but sometimes a user is in the middle of a lot and just can't reboot, so I'm really glad Microsoft includes the no reboot option even though computers are happier when they reboot.
