OCT configuration

[Tom]

Hi all,

I need to deploy office 2007 to about 200 machines.

1. Is it possible to configure the MSP file to restart the computer after
installation?

2. I would like to remove the compatability pack during installation. In the
run program portion of the OCT I put : msiexec /x
{90120000-0020-0409-0000-0000000FF1CE}, but it did not remove.
Any idea why or how to do it?


Thank you,

Tom

You can set the SETUP_REBOOT property to AutoAlways in Config.xml:

953366 The computer still prompts you to restart when you configure the
Config.xml file to prevent the computer from restarting after you install the
2007 Office system
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953366

<Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="AutoAlways" /> -->


You can also use Config.xml for running the addtional command line:

Config.xml file in the 2007 Office system
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179195.aspx

<Command Path="msiexec.exe" Args="/x {90120000-0020-0409-0000-0000000FF1CE}"
QuietArg="/q"
