Heres what Ive done:

*I extracted the installation files to C:\OpenOffice
*I opened a command prompt and changed to above directory
*I use the following command:

CODE

start /wait msiexec /qn /norestart /i openofficeorg24.msi SELECT_WORD=1 SELECT_EXCEL=1 SELECT_POWERPOINT=1 ADDLOCAL=ALL REMOVE=gm_p_Draw,gm_p_Draw_Bin,gm_p_Draw_Help,gm_p_Impress,gm_p_Impress_Bin,gm_p_Impress_Help,gm_p_B
