Local Installation Source Tool for Office 2007

R

Reza

Hi all;

I have only 1GB of space on my C drive but 3GB on a second partition. So I
want to move the MSOCache to another drive. I used to use LISTool.exe in
Office 2003 for this task but I search the Internet for similar tool for
Office 2007 without success...

How can I move MSOCache on my system? Does Office 2007 has a similar tool?

Thanks

Hi Reza,

I would like to discuss the issue with you and hope the following
information would be useful.

First, the Local Installation Source Tool (LISTool.exe) is only work on
Office 2003, for Office 2007, there is no such tool.

However,you may be able to 'move' the Office 2007 Local Installation Source
(LIS)' \MSOCache folder via the registry, you may want to keep in mind that
it's not a Microsoft supported/recommended change.

The Office 2007 LIS was designed to be on the same drive as the installed
Office 2007 product to reduce the number of times that installing an update
or repairing a product, or changing the configuration would fail for
needing access to the installation source location or original CD, and
could not get to that because the CD wasn't available or the network drive
had been disconnected or mapped differently or when a drive was added that
rearranged the drive letters on the computer.

It's also possible that running a repair or setup change or addition may
reset the registry entries and/or recreate the default \MSOCache folder
when runing a repair or update.

1. copy the entire msocache folder to the drive u want it to be on.

2. search "local machine" in the registry for "msocache" and/or
"installsource"

3. It will be plainly labelled. shows which office product and its source
installation folder

4. just change the drive letter in the key. in my case i copied msocache
from c: to e:\msocache.

5. use f3 to find the next office product that contains "msocache" in the
key and repeat until u have reassigned the source installation folder for
all your installed office products.

Thanks, I am looking forward to see your reply.
