Currently: Listening to Hi Folks
We have got lot of install and uninstall requests from customer and evaluators about the MS Office 2007. Let me provide you with some installation tips and URLs for further assistance. First lets have look at the basic installation differences between the earlier Office installations and O2K7 extracted from ‘Whats New in Setup for the 2007 Office system‘.
Setup changes
* Earlier versions used Msiexec.exe the later has Setup.exe program.
* O2K7 has local installation source earlier had Admin install point
* Setup.ini was replaced with config.xml also it handles command line arguments
* Wizards for Installation and Maintenance have been substituted by office customization tool (OCT)
* Group Policy system policies were introduced inplace of office profile wizard
How to setup for silent install?
The earlier version of Office installation supported /a option for administrative installation for network/silent installation, O2K7 has this feature as /admin. Here are the steps
* From command prompt type; setup.exe /admin
o This will present a customization UI select your options
o which will convert this to a customization patch in the MSP format (not MST)
* Now you can run the command setup.exe /adminfile <yourmspfilename> to make it install silent
o Please note you have to keep the MSP file in the same directory where you have the setup.exe
o If you can place the customized MSP file in the ‘Upgrade’ directory you can directly run setup.exe which will take the file inturn
* Make sure you are enabling suppress Modals only when you are tested and ensured everything is working
o Now when you do the above procedure from a shared folder you are ready to kick start the O2K7 silent install with Desktop Central
You also have yet another method to directly configure configure.xml The relevant informations are available and discussed in the given URLs.
