Had to go by the A option instead...

Downloaded all KB:s and unpacked them, changed name on .MSP file to KBxxxx.msp and put them in Updates folder on cd...

Works fine :)

Do you maybe know a way to tell setup that I want a customized setup and keep my previous office 2003 installation ?
Hi Robert,
I believe what you want to do, is to have access to all dialogs, you basically want to just customize the setup defaults & go ahead normally from there on.

Here's how:
Go to the 2nd line in my example above. You see "Display Level="none"". Change it back to "full" instead of "none". That is all.



@clavicle
Thanks indeed. :) I just wish someone finds out how to disable the "MSOcache" facility in o2k7.....



Great post prathapml,

1.
Is there a way to modify config.xml so the install will keep my previous Office 2003 install with Display Level="none"? In another word, when I deploy office2007(Minus Outlook 2007) with option B, the end user doesn't have to make any choice of selecting upgrade or others and still have office 2003 installed.

2.
When I create the .MSP file using option A with User interface set to "Basic" the install still ask me to select a Microsoft Office product to install. Please view attach picture:

-- In OCT selecting which Product to create the MSP for: View attachment 1
-- Setting User Interface for the MSP: View attachment 2
-- Prompt at the Begin of the install with launching command \\server\office2007\setup.exe /adminfile custom.MSP
View attachment 3

Any ideas? Thank in advance.

Jun

Im using this method and installing vi runoncex and everything works fine....

The only thing I was wondering is if there is anyway to add a "progress bar" to this.....

It takes quite a while to install and would be nice to see how far along the installation
actually is.....

Nice work everybody.....

Sir,
Can we decrease the size of Office 2007 by removing unwanted applications from it as we did with office XP and Office 2003.

If the hotfixes release to replace the previous hotfixes, are both hotfixes will be install if I put them together in the Updates folder?

Like Outlook Junk email Filter...are all hotfixes will be install or only the latest?

I have the Professional version and want to install everything that one would normally install doing a "Full" install. Does leaving the OptionState line commented out do this, or does someone have a config.xml file that lists every single OptionState item so that a full install can be completed?

Here is what our file looks like now. It looks like it removed all of the Office 2003 items that were installed and installed Access, Excel, Outlook, Powerpoint, Word, and Publisher and I'm assuming that all of the features were installed?


 
<Configuration Product="Pror">

	<Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="Yes" AcceptEula="Yes" />
	
	<!-- <Logging Type="standard" Path="%temp%" Template="Microsoft Office Professional Setup(*).txt" /> -->
	
	<!-- <PIDKEY Value="BCDFGHJKMPQRTVWXY2346789B" /> -->

	<!-- <USERNAME Value="Customer" /> -->
	
	<COMPANYNAME Value="IMS, Inc." />
	
	<INSTALLLOCATION Value="%programfiles%\Microsoft Office 2007" />
	
	<!-- <LIS CACHEACTION="CacheOnly" /> -->
	
	<!-- <SOURCELIST Value="\\server1\share\Office12;\\server2\share\Office12" /> -->
	
	<DistributionPoint Location="\\omni\ss\pc_software\Office2007_Pro" />
	
	<!-- <OptionState Id="OptionID" State="absent" Children="force" /> -->
	
	<Setting Id="Reboot" Value="IfNeeded" />
	
	<!-- <Command Path="msiexec.exe" Args="/i \\server\share\my.msi" QuietArg="/q" ChainPosition="after" Execute="install" /> -->

</Configuration>

Yes, that does it.
That way you'll have the default items installed. (some items are NOT installed by default, so you might want to enable those, but if you just want the default set of items that get installed normally, then dont worry)

I dont have any official info regarding this, but I'd think it installs them all (in correct order though, so thats a saving grace).

Is that mean I still need to put all the hotfixes (new and old) in the folder? But why after installation only few updates listed in add/remove programes?

I really did want every single option installed instead of just defaults. Is there a way to do that?

Yes its possible.
Either using option B (second post in this topic), where I say you can modify it accordingly for the other component products, the options are commented with double-slashes. I obtained the OptionIds from setup.xml files, in each component folder..
Or just use option A which is simple, and while creating your MSP, choose this option for all components - "run from my computer".

That could be because your office 2007 installer files are corrupted or some files missing. Use the original disc.
Or install office 2003 or officeXP, and use the compatibility pack, which lets you read & write to office 2007 file formats.

You can't yet. No-one has come up with a way to do it.

@ yadzil You can't do that either its just not the way it works.
