  1. I really need some help here... I'm having EXACTLY the same problem. The only difference is that I'm not using .msp files. Here's what I did: -copied all the installation files to a shared folder in the DC -Changed the ProPlus.WW\config.xml to the following: <Configuration Product="ProPlus"> <Display Level="None" AcceptEula="Yes" /> <Logging Type="standard" Path="%temp%" Template="testing.txt" /> <PIDKEY Value="bla bla bla" /> <USERNAME Value="%USERNAME%" /> <COMPANYNAME Value="Anything" /> <INSTALLLOCATION Value="%programfiles%\Microsoft Office" /> <LIS CACHEACTION="CacheOnly" /> <SOURCELIST Value="\\srvdc01\Office12" /> <DistributionPoint Location="\\srvdc01\Office12" /> <Setting Id="Reboot" Value="IfNeeded" /> </Configuration> -Then I published the ProPlusWW.msi Every single time I try to deploy Office 2007 thru GPO, i get only these 2 tools installed: Microsoft Office Document Imaging Microsoft Office Document Scanning And guess what, they dont work... The Event Viewer says everything is ok and the applications was installed successfully. -I tried including the following line to test only Excel installation, but still no sucess, only that 2 **** tools appear. <OptionState Id="EXCELFiles" State="Local" Children="force"/> Does anyone suspect what's going on? Your line: <LIS CACHEACTION="CacheOnly" /> makes the install copy all the cache files necessary for the Office install to c:\MSOCache\All users (hidden). This will "precache" the requirements to a clients local C: drive so when (later) you initiate the install (after you comment out the line) it will initiate then use the local "precache" copy for the source files. This is necessary when you are trying to deploy the Office Suite to clients when network speeds are an issue. It won't actually install the office Suite. if you remove this line and push a setup it will use the local precache to install and save network resources. Office requires this cache to be copied regardless of how you install Office. Comment out this line and try again. This "precaching" will also retain msp customization files as well. If you want to initiate the precache install FROM THE CLIENT DESKTOP, you can also use the setup located at (after the precache of course using the first setup with the <LIS CACHEACTION="CacheOnly" /> flag enabled) at: From Microsoft: As an example for Enterprise 2007 C:\MSOCache\All Users\{940120000-0012-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}-C \setup.exe (no spaces and use quotes "") You can change the : {940120000-0012-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}-C to a different reference based on what your installing from the below list Another example for Normal Professional 2007 Edition (notice the change according to the reference below) C:\MSOCache\All Users\{940120000-0014-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}-C \setup.exe Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 Enterprise.WW {940120000-0030-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}-drive Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 ProPlus.WW {940120000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}-drive Microsoft Office Standard 2007 Standard.WW {940120000-0012-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}-drive Microsoft Office Professional 2007 Pro.WW {940120000-0014-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}-drive Microsoft Office Access 2007 Access.WW {940120000-0015-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}-drive Microsoft Office Excel 2007 Excel.WW {940120000-0016-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}-drive Microsoft Groove 2007 Groove.WW {940120000-00BA-0000-0000-1000000FF1CE}-drive Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007 InfoPath.WW {940120000-0044-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}-drive Microsoft Office OneNote 2007 OneNote.WW {940120000-00A1-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}-drive Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 Outlook.WW {940120000-001A-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}-drive Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 PowerPoint.WW {940120000-0018-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}-drive Microsoft Office Project Professional 2007 PrjPro.WW {940120000-003B-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}-drive Microsoft Office Project Standard 2007 PrjStd.WW {940120000-003A-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}-drive Microsoft Office Publisher 2007 Publisher.WW {940120000-0019-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}-drive Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007 SharePointDesigner.WW {940120000-006E-0409-0000-1000000FF1CE}-drive Microsoft Office Visio Professional 2007 VisPro.WW {940120000-0051-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}-drive Microsoft Office Visio Standard 2007 VisStd.WW {940120000-0053-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}-drive Microsoft Office Word 2007 Word.WW {940120000-001B-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}-drive
  2. I used SMS 2003 to push the precache installs to my clients for Office 2007 Enterprise. How do I now use SMS to create a package to run the install from the local precached copy and not have it try to re-create the install cache from the network installation point used to create the precache. Will the setup from the network installation point "see" that the precache exists and skip the copy to the cache and continue on using the source files in the precache??
