Hello,
Is it possible to prevent the LIS (Local Installation Source) cache being
created during an install of Office 2007? It was quite easy to do in Office
2003 (simply modifying the setup.ini file) but I haven't been able to locate
a way to do this for the latest Office suite. In my research I've found
there are ways to specify where you want the LIS to go (in the config.xml
file) but no way to disable it.
TIA,
Greg

I'm not here to argue with you. See

Source feature in 2007 Office programs".

Thanks for the reply. Is there anyway to (safely) remove it after the
installation? Why does MS deem it necessary that the install files be
cached anyways? I can understand it in a corporate/networking environment
but for a home computer? What if every application started doing that?
You'd be out of hard drive space in no time.

Thanks again (I think? 
And I certainly wasn't looking to argue (unless you were an developer of MS
Office, I was just stating how silly I thought that they're permanently
installed, especially when I have a perfectly good disc handy should the
need arise in the future. I thought it was odd considering how rare it is
to actually need the install media again. I have Office 2000 and 2003
installed (on 2 different computers) which have been installed for *years*
now and I've never once needed the install discs.
Oh well. Thanks for your assistance.
