config.xml

[RBCC]

Hello all you nice people:

How do I edit this config.xml so that during Office 2007 setup it accepts the pidkey number:

<Configuration Product="SHAREPOINTDESIGNER">

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

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

<!-- <PIDKEY Value="xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxx /> -->

<!-- <USERNAME Value="Customer" /> -->

<!-- <COMPANYNAME Value="MyCompany" /> -->

<!-- <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>

you need to uncomment anything you want used (remove the <!-- and --> )

read the big sticky topic on O2k7. very useful. below is an example of a real basic config file...

<Configuration Product="SHAREPOINTDESIGNER">

<Display Level="basic" CompletionNotice="yes" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" />

<PIDKEY Value="xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxx />

<USERNAME Value="Customer" />

<COMPANYNAME Value="MyCompany" />

</Configuration>

the pidkey is without dashes.

What about the ---> and the white space? John

<!--- and ---> basically just signify comments.

You want to remove ALL of these.

whitespaces don't matter ... but basically you want it readable.
