OCT and Office 2007 Pro Plus

[Sixstringr1981]

I have spent a day using the Office Customization Tool to try to create a
silent install of Office 2007 Pro Plus and cannot seem to get past the
following error:

Setup was aborted. Setup customization files are not supported on this
Microsoft Office product type. Run Setup again without using a Setup
customization file. This customization file may be located in the Updates
folder of the installation image.

I had no problems with Office 2007 Standard and used the same steps when
developing the MSP. I have googled for answers and so far, no one really
seems to have a problem with this error.

Any help is very much appreciated.

I finally found my answer:

It seems that just putting the MSP in the updates folder isn't good enough
for Office 2007 Professional Plus. You must also refer to the config.xml
file EVEN IF you do not make changes to it. Here's the command line format
I used to get the MSP running assuming you're running the install from a
server :

\\ServerPath\Office2007ProPlus\setup.exe /adminfile
\\ServerPath\Office2007ProPlus\MSPfolder\CUSTOM.MSP /config
\\Office2007ProPlus\ProPlus.WW\config.xml

First, to be clear, that is one line of code.

Second, as you can see, I have made a separate folder for my MSP file
instead of just placing it in the Updates folder indicated here
"\\ServerPath\Office2007ProPlus\MSPfolder\CUSTOM.MSP"

Lastly as a reminder, I made NO changes to the confix.xml - all
customizations are coming from the MSP file I created.

I hope this saves someone a few hours of googling and trial & error.
