While trying to upgrade Windows Office 2003 (manual install) to O2k7 via
GPO I have stumbled on a problem. Office 2003 stays on my client
computers, and O2k7 just installs right next to it, without deleting
previous version. After some hours of using Mr. Google, it came to my
attention that this is familiar problem to many people, resolved by OCT
and batch files in order to uninstall previous versions. Some time after
my search and running OCT, internet told me another interesting thing...
GPO does not recognize .MSP files stored in "Updates" folder, and that
might be the reason why OCT modifying did not work in the first place.
Only option I have left is via configuring config.xml document, and
finally the question is here:
*Q*:
-_What_is_line_of_syntax_I_have_to_add_in_config.xml_in_order_to_remove_Office_2003_from_all_client_computers_while_installing_2007_package_in_the_same_time?_-
For now, this is my code (did not configure much, only silent
installation and key)
<configuration product=\"enterprise\">
<!-- <display level=\"none\" completionnotice=\"no\"
suppressmodal=\"yes\" accepteula=\"yes\" /> -->
<!-- <logging type=\"standard\" path=\"%temp%\" template=\"microsoft
office enterprise setup(*).txt\" /> -->
<!-- <pidkey value=\"***********************\" /> -->
<!-- <username value=\"customer\" /> -->
<!-- <companyname value=\"company\" /> -->
<!-- <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=\"reboot\" value=\"ifneeded\" /> -->
<!-- <command path=\"msiexec.exe\" args=\"/i \\server\share\my.msi\"
quietarg=\"/q\" chainposition=\"after\" execute=\"install\" /> -->
</configuration>
Thank you in advance!
