Office 2007 Setup Auto Reboots

M

Mike Young

I am going crazy trying to figure out why when I install Office 2007 to some
systems (All Win XP SP2), that it is automatically rebooting the systems when
setup completes. I am only installing Infopath from the Office 2007 Pro Plus
suite and leaving the other Office 2003 in place. I've set the config.xml
file to never reboot and the log file shows that it reads that but then at
the end of the log, it will say Reboot requested if needed and then
initiating reboot. The end users are not notified so obviously I want to
prevent any kind of reboot. How can I accomplish this? I've included the
config.xml and a sample log file.

Config.xml:
<Configuration Product="ProPlus">

<Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes"
AcceptEula="yes" />

<Logging Type="Verbose" Path="%temp%" Template="Microsoft Office
Professional Plus Setup(*).txt" />

<PIDKEY Value="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" />

<USERNAME Value="XXX" />

<COMPANYNAME Value="XXX" />

<!-- <INSTALLLOCATION Value="%programfiles%\Microsoft Office" /> -->

<!-- <LIS CACHEACTION="CacheOnly" /> -->

<!-- <SOURCELIST Value="\\server1\share\Office12;\\server2\share\Office12"
/> -->

<!-- <DistributionPoint Location="\\server\share\Office12" /> -->

<!-- <OptionState Id="OptionID" State="absent" Children="force" /> -->

<Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="NEVER" />

<!-- <Command Path="msiexec.exe" Args="/i \\server\share\my.msi"
QuietArg="/q" ChainPosition="after" Execute="install" /> -->

</Configuration>

Try
reboot="ReallySuppress"

You'll only see this on silent installs where there is a file in use that
needs to be updated. If you "reallysuppress" then you are telling the MSI
Installer that you don't care that the user doesn't really have all the right
files - you just don't want to reboot (usually safe for adding a product like
infopath).
