Office 2007 deployment using system center essentials

[Michael]

Hello all,
We are testing the office 2007 deployment on a set of computers(5 to be
exact)using the system center essentials. The install starts when we
shutdown/restart the computer but it continues forever and won't install
anything. I look in the program files to see if the folder for office 12 was
there, it isn't. Is there any log file beside the event viewer to see what is
causing it not to install? By the way the event view don't show anything
about the install. The computer is a fresh install and has no previous office
installed

Any ideas,

I haven't used system center essentials before, but to answer your question
about office setup log files. They are in the %temp% directory by default (if
logged in), or in c:\windows\temp if office is being installed in the system
context.
