[kakii]

Is LIST in version 2007 available ?
I need it to delete MSECache created by
PP 2007 viewer installer.

Hi Kakii,

There isn't a Local Installation Source (LIS) Tool for Office 2007. Office 2007's MSOCache folders, are not an optional item as
they were in Office 2003. Office 2007 products install from the Local Installation Source and repair from there as well.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I quess, Office 2007 uses MSECache instead of MSOCache.
My PP 2007 viewer at least had created that.

How can I then relocate the MSECache directory to
the common TEMP directory ?
I don't wish to have it under "c:\program files"

With the "INSTALLLOCATION" tag in the XML file as per
http://technet2.microsoft.com/Offic...fed4-40da-a886-95e596c3999e1033.mspx?mfr=true


INSTALLLOCATION Element
Specifies the fully qualified path to the folder on the user's computer in
which the product is installed.

Tip:
The equivalent option in the OCT is the Default installation path setting
in Installation location and organization name.


Syntax
<INSTALLLOCATION Value="path" />

Attributes
Attribute Value Description
Value
path
The fully qualified path to the folder on the user's computer in which the
product is installed.


Remarks
You can use system environment variables in the path. If this element is not
specified, Office is installed in %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office.

Example
<INSTALLLOCATION VALUE=â€%ProgramFiles%\MyApps†/>

Fine.
Unfortunately the installer of PP 2007 Viewer
seems to be MSI file - ppviewer.msi.
Not a setup executable, no setup.exe file.
I'm afraid, it's not possible to pass config.xml
to the installation process of PP 2007 Viewer.
