Chain Install question for Office 2007

N

ngan

I noticed for previous Office version, there is a OHotFix file where I can
then do chain installations of updates and other programs after the main
office installation.

Does Office 2007 have such a file (or can I use the OHotFix file)?

Thanks.

Hi Ngan,

MS Office 2007 has a new architecture, involving multiple .MSI files for deployment, and multiple .MSP files for updating :) The
prior version oHotfix method isn't supported in Office 2007, as mentioned in the the Office 2007 Resource Kit at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc178995.aspx

You'll find more information on the methods for chaining of new products when deploying here
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179200.aspx

If you're applying updates [.msp] files rather than multiple product chaining they can be dropped into the \Updates folder on the
Office Network Installation point oNIP.
