Deploying Office 2007 - 1/9/2008 12:22:31 PM

Status: offline 		Hello all,

I am trying to run a silent install of Office 2007 via SMS to a collection of computers that I have. I ran the Office Customization Tool and created the .msp file and put that in the updates folder. I then created a package from SMS and pointed it to the setup.exe file in the Office 2007 folder...from there I created an advertisement from the package and nothing happens...from the client machine I see setup.exe being run in the task manager but does nothing. I tried going to the folder share from the client machine and running setup.exe manually and that installs office just fine...what am I doing wrong?

thanks in advance for your help.

Status: offline 		you also need to modify the config.xml file for the product you are installing.  What is currently happening (educated guess from previous installs here) is the sms installer account is being prompted for an install selection.  The config.xml file will eliminate that.  Here is an example of our proplus install and the file is located in the proplus.WW folder:

setup.exe /adminfile Office2007.MSP   <-- Office2007.msp of course will be whatever you named your msp file.

Status: offline 		Hi people,
I did exactly the same like Vle367 and the office deploy works a treat. no failures etc. I did not have to modify the config.xml file.
I am not quiet sure what the benefit of configuring that file is....if someone could clear that up for me that would be great.
Vle367 I would check the installation permissions you have set for this package.

Status: offline 		The Config.xml modifications is only necessary if you want to modify the install beyond what the OCT will allow you to change.  Like more languages or other customizations.  Most people will not have to modify it.  I deployed it with only the MSP file changes.

Status: offline 		we use the office 2007 enterprise version as the source and need the config.xml file to bypass the "version" selection window.  Without the xml file the install stops while it waits for user input. We also have a volume license version but if you use the specific version of office such a proplus or visio only you may not need the xml file or get the menu.

Status: offline 		You must have an OEM version of Office.  We have a Volume license so we never see that "version" selection window.

Status: offline 		If you go to : "Licensing and user interface"
display level:None
Suppress modal

This will give you a silent deploy

Status: offline 		I believe that only works if you are deploying a single piece of office like std or the stand alone visio or project.  Enterprise contains the entire office suite of products and I could never get it to go silent unitl I modified my specific xml file for say proplus

Status: offline 		Correct, I am deploying Office Enterprise, I even put SP1 in the updates folder so now I pushes the entire Office enterprise as well as the SP silently to the machine.  I never touched the XML file.

Status: offline 		hello guys ,
                i give you a better soluation
1. just create .msp (with user setup.exe /admin command) and put in office 2007 forder as custom.msp
2. modify custom.xml file(<Display Level="None" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" /> -->)  and save as custom-Au.xml and put in main office 2007 folder
3.create package and user command is (setup.exe /config  custom-Au.xml /adminfile custom.msp)
i'm sure it is work. if it is not work please delete your office 2007 folder and again past and after that create msp and configure .xml file. Coz some time some office file has currapt when u r doing R&D

Status: offline 		In my testing for this deployment I've seen some of the issues others in here have.

1.) Make sure all of your updates or SP1 are already in the extracted MSI form in the updates folder.  If it's in the .exe format it will hang the installation (and will error out if you have a max.  run time setup).  I do not have anything extra in my command line except setup.exe.  The setup will automatically install anything in the updates folder.

2.) Make sure the run: option is set to hidden if you want a silent install and for it to install automatically.

If you are updating from office 2003 -> 2007 it will require a reboot at the end (with no notification).
