Office 2007 installing but not applying .msp patches

[aqunas]

Hello,

I have the Office 2007 Enterprise edition.

I ran setup.exe /admin

Then I made and saved the admin file which I called setup.msp

The setup.msp I have saved in the "updates" folder of Office 2007

Now since this installation is going to be run from CD. I made an ISO of Office 2007 with setup.msp in the "Updates" folder and I also edited the autorun.inf in the root folder. The autorun.inf is below :

[autorun]

OPEN=SETUP.EXE /adminfile Setup.MSP

ICON=SETUP.EXE,0

shell\configure=&Configure...

shell\configure\command=SETUP.EXE

shell\install=&Install...

shell\install\command=SETUP.EXE

Now I expect when I run setup.exe for Office 2007 , I had hoped that the setp.msp would be applied. This does not appear to be the case.

Can anyone help and see what is wrong?

Keep in mind that I have a custon DVD of Windows XP and this installs all of my applications as well as office using RunOnceEX.

My RunOnceEx is below :

cmdow @ /HID

@Echo Off

FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\win51ip.SP2 SET CDROM=%%i:

REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Programs" /f

REG ADD %KEY%5 /V 1 /D "%PP%\LC5\lc5.exe" /f

REG ADD %KEY%6 /VE /D "PowerISO reg" /f

REG ADD %KEY%6 /V 1 /D "%PP%\reg_tweaks\poweriso.reg /f" /f

EXIT

With my RunOnceEx all programs will install, except @STAKE LC5 , ignore that for now.

But Office 2007 will install but the >msp dosent appear to be applied. What could it be ?

Any Ideas?

You said that your setup.msp is in updates folder and with you command you are calling it from root folder of office.

Let suppose that your admin files are located in C:\office2007 and that your updates and setup.msp files are in C:\office2007\updates. So your command should look like this:

OPEN=SETUP.EXE /adminfile Updates\Setup.MSP

If this doesn't work try to put quotation around path so it should look like this:

OPEN=SETUP.EXE /adminfile "Updates\Setup.MSP"

Or even better, just dont make any mention of the MSP in your autorun.inf (because it has no relevance by itself, except to autorun, and will fail when that is disabled).

Just place your MSP in the updates folder, run setup.exe - and voila! (the MSP gets automatically taken)

Thank you both for your suggestions.

I shall test these methods tomrrow and then re-post again after this.
