Deploying Office 2007 via GPO

J

Jay Scovill

Attempting to install O2007 via GPO using information from:
http://technet2.microsoft.com/Office/en-us/library/efd0ee45-9605-42d3-
9798-3b698fff3e081033.mspx?mfr=true

The installation seems to finish but when I logon and check to see if
it's installed the only component that appears to be installed is
Outlook 2007. However Outlok 2003 is still there. And if I try to
launch Outlook 2007 it actually begins the real installation of it (and
perhaps the rest of the suite).

It's almost as if the GPO deployment is copying the files to the local
Office cache but isn't actually installing them until I try to launch
it.

Sort of a weird hybrid-frankenstein advertising thing or something.

All other components are still version 2003.

Here is my config.xml:

<Configuration Product="Enterprise">

<!-- <Display Level="full" CompletionNotice="yes"
SuppressModal="no" AcceptEula="no" /> -->

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

<!-- <USERNAME Value="Customer" /> -->

<!-- <SOURCELIST Value="\\server1\share\Office12;\\server2\share

<OptionState Id="PROJECTFiles" State="Local" Children="force" />

<OptionState Id="WAC_SPD" State="Local" Children="force" />

<!-- <Setting Id="Reboot" Value="IfNeeded" /> -->

<!-- <Command Path="msiexec.exe" Args="/i \\server\share\my.msi"
QuietArg="/q" ChainPosition="after" Execute="install" /> -->

</Configuration>


I've read some other posts hear saying that you need to remove the
hypens fom the PID and so forth but none of that is working.
