just got beta1 of new office suite. it has a lot of XML & MSI files. does somebody know how to install it? most interesting thing that is has folder UPDATES with README.TXT. text from README.TXT

"Any patches placed in this folder will be applied during initial install."

so i think office 12 should be friendly to unattended installs, updates, and MUI, Proofing tools installation.

Office 12 is in Beta. If you were a member of MSDN, then you'd be able to ask on the proper forums for that.

No warez talk here...
mickmack
they don't know. no warez here. everybody agree that answer file is based on XML, but no resourse kit for the moment. so if anybody found the way to get it...
Zxian
If it has MSIs, then shouldn't standard Windows Insatller switches work? /qb /qn

Try this simple method:

Extract the files > go to pro.ww folder, open config.xml in notepad and then edit like below or copy paste it

QUOTE
<Configuration Product="Pro">

<Display Level="full" CompletionNotice="yes" SuppressModal="no" AcceptEula="Yes" /> -->

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

<PIDKEY Value="Copy paste your serial here" /> -->

<USERNAME Value="Your Name" /> -->

<COMPANYNAME Value="Your Company name" /> -->

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

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

I have tried this with the above code in the config.xml and with an unattended.msp, but what is the command to run it all ? Do I need to use the transform command ? TIA smile.gif.

This is not for unattended.msp, run setup.exe only.

For a full unattended installation config.xml should be enough,

CODE
<Display Level="full" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="no" AcceptEula="yes" />
<PIDKEY Value="*************************" />
<USERNAME Value="Customer" />
<COMPANYNAME Value="MyCompany" />


and a little Autoit script should take care of the install button, :

CODE
Run    ( @ScriptDir & "\" & "setup.exe" )
If WinWait("Microsoft Office Professional Enterprise Edition 12 [pre-release]", "NUIDocumentWindow") Then
Send("{SPACE}")
EndIf



(attached the compiled Autoit code)
