Hi Tim,

Without the complete set of steps you're using it's hard to know what you may be running into on this one.

Have you created a Network Installation Point for Office 2007?

What version of Windows?

What are the customizations you've made to the Config.xml (and which of the several folders for Office 2007 are you configuring).

Are you using Setup /Admin to access the Office 2007 Customization Tool (OCT2007) to create an Office Customization Patch (.MSP) and
setting the display level in that file?

For corruption of the Config.xml files be sure you're following the conventions here
http://officebeta.iponet.net/en-us/techcenter/HA012306521033.aspx?pid=CH100644431033

To access the Officebeta. website you'll need to be on a computer with 2007 beta 2 or the ActiveX control from link #3 below
installed.
