Hello coucou!

I've made an complete test for give you some help! I've made an "GONFIG.XML" customized and all is working fine! The process take near half an hour for the complete installation on VirtualBox!

Here is an example my "config.xml" customized for Office ProfessionalPlus 2010:

CONFIG.XML

Quote

<Configuration Product="ProPlusr">

<Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" />

<Logging Type="standard" Path="%temp%" Template="Microsoft Office Professional Plus Setup(*).txt" />

<PIDKEY Value="QWERTZUIOPASDFGHJKLYXCVBN" />

<USERNAME Value="Full Name" />

<USERINITIALS Value="AA" />

<COMPANYNAME Value="Company" />

<INSTALLLOCATION Value="%programfiles%\Microsoft Office" />

<!-- <LIS CACHEACTION="CacheOnly" /> -->

<LIS SOURCELIST="%systemdrive%\Office14" />

<DistributionPoint Location="%systemdrive%\Office14" />

<!-- <OptionState Id="OptionID" State="absent" Children="force" /> -->

<Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="NEVER" />

<Command Path="%windir%\system32\msiexec.exe" Args="/i %systemdrive%\Office14\ProPlusr.WW\ProPlusrWW.msi" QuietArg="/qn" ChainPosition="after" Execute="install" />

</Configuration>

I've used a batch file with Se7en_UA6.3.8:

Quote

[Office14]
1="CMD /C Start /Wait %SystemDrive%\APPS\Office14\Office14.exe"
2="CMD /C Start /Wait %SystemDrive%\Office14\SETUP.EXE /config %SystemDrive%\Office14\ProPlusr.WW\CONFIG.XML"

You can chek your installation inside the log file inside the folder %temp%!
You must read at the end of the text file "Microsoft Office Professionnal Plus Setup(*).txt: Return code=0
I've installed with Se7en_UA6.3.8 sucessfully!
I think I will make an French layout for Office 2010!
Now I will try to remove some components and I tell you later!

I hope that will help you!
Regards

Hello!
I've found some informations about removing some features:
Extract:
Office Customization Tool in Office 2010

Quote

Overview of the Office Customization Tool
The OCT is part of the Setup program and is the recommended tool for most customizations. You run the OCT by typing setup.exe /admin at the command line from the root of the network installation point that contains the Office 2010 source files. For example, use the following: \\server\share\Office14\setup.exe /admin. The OCT is available only with volume licensed versions of Office 2010 and the 2007 Office system. To determine whether an Office 2010 installation is a volume licensed version, check the Office 2010 installation disk to see whether it contains a folder named Admin. If the Admin folder exists, the disk is a volume license edition. If the Admin folder does not exist, the disk is a retail edition.

Hello!
I've made some search about reduicing the size for Office Professional 2010.
You can use a second way and make a custom.msp (workaround).

In this way don't use "config.xml", because we use "admin" option with "setup.exe"!

1) At first download AdminTemplates_32.exe (32-bits)

2) Extract the file inside your folder where you have All the files for Office (example:Office14):

Example: Start|Run:

Quote

C:\AdminTemplates_32.exe /extract:C:\Office14

Now you can use the option:

Quote

C:\Office14\setup.exe /admin

Create your "custom.msp" like you want and remove "safely" unwanted programs!
English: OCT
Office Customization Tool in Office 2010
French: OPO
Outil de personnalisation Office dans Office System 2010

If you are working with Windows XP, you need:

Quote

Note:
The Office 2010 release requires Windows Installer 4.0 or a later version on all computers on which Office runs. This includes the computer that you use to run the OCT. For information about Windows Installer, see Windows Installer (http://go.microsoft..../?LinkID=111108).

I hope that will help you!

Hello!
I've made some new tests with OCT!

1)- OCT is only available with KMS or MAK keys:
Extract inside "OCT.chm":

Quote

Use KMS client key:
- A product key entry is not required for enterprise deployments that are using Key Management Service (KMS) activation because all Volume License editions of Microsoft Office 2010 have KMS client key pre-installed. KMS is one of the methods that are provided by Office Activation Technologies for activating products licensed under Microsoft Volume Licensing programs. Only a KMS host computer needs a KMS host key to be activated and to establish a local activation service in your environment. Office 2010 connects to the local KMS host for activation. By default, the Use KMS client key option is selected. For more information about the licensing options for Office 2010, see the "Office Activation Technologies guide" included in the current release.

Enter another product key:
-You can enter a valid Multiple Activation Key (MAK) key in the OCT by using the Enter another product key entry. A MAK key is another method that Office Activation Technologies provide for activating products licensed under Microsoft Volume Licensing programs. With a MAK, clients activate Office 2010 online by using the Microsoft-hosted activation servers or by telephone. To use a MAK key, in the Enter another product key text box, enter the MAK key (twenty-five numbers or characters) without spaces.

2)- You can't delete programs, like ACCESS, EXCEL, etc. inside your source folder (example: C:\Office14); even if you have add the lines inside "config.xml" or choose options with OCT, to not install these products: the installation will get errors and fails!:

<OptionState Id="ACCESSFiles" State="absent" Children="force" />
<OptionState Id="XDOCSFiles" State="absent" Children="force" />
<OptionState Id="OneNoteFiles" State="absent" Children="force" />

I want to create a Office 2010 install with languages french and dutch inside from the proofing tools cd.
Is that possible? Office 2010 is around 1gb and the proofing tools cd also around 1gb so I don't need an installation cd of 2gb. If I just can extract the correct languages and put them into the installation cd.

It's not MUI that I'm looking for but more the spelling and grammar for Office that you can find in the proofing tools. These are separate folder Proof.fr or Proof.nl

So to be clear I want 1 Office 2010 (english) install with the extra Dutch language proofing tool pack. French and english are already included into the english version.

I don't want 2 separated Config.xml files. 1 for install of 2010 and 1 for the proofing tools cd.
I need to build 1 Config.xml that includes the installation of Office 2010 + dutch language.

Again, it's not the interface pack but proofing tools kit I want.

Is this possible?

[myselfidem]

Thanks kingskawn!
I think you can't merge the two "config.xml" because there aren't the same!
But I think there is a way to do that! It's needed to search on the Web.
But maybe you can select only the Proofing tool you want and delete the others for an silent install? Unfortunately, I can't make some tests!
Plan for multilanguage deployment of Office 2010

Quote

Office 2010 Language Pack Use this option if users need both the user interface and the proofing tools for the language, or if one language pack can provide all the proofing tool languages that you need. Be aware that each language version of the Office 2010 includes proofing tools for a set of companion languages. For example, when you deploy the English version of an Office 2010 product, users receive proofing tools for both Spanish and French in addition to English. Depending on the number of user interface languages that you want to deploy and the included companion languages, Office 2010 Language Packs might provide all of the proofing tools that you need.

For a list of companion languages, see Companion proofing languages for Office 2010. If a language pack has all the proofing tool languages that you need, deploy a language pack by using the instructions that fit your scenario in Customize language setup and settings for Office 2010.

@djpatch

You need to write inside your first line "config.xml":

Quote

<Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="Yes" AcceptEula="Yes" />

And delete the <!-- and /> --> in the line

Set:

Quote

SuppressModal="Yes"

Cheers
