Office 2007 Via GPO

[pats2306]

Hi All,

I have exhausted all resources in trying to install Office 2007 Proffesional via the GPO. I have followed all intsructions listed on the technet site; no luck.

I have created the MSP file and placed it in the Updates folder. I read that the settings in the config.xml file take precedence over the MSP file. It installs Office 2007 but retains the Office 2003 version even when the MSP file has it to uninstall. This goes to show that the MSP file is not being used.

My config.xml file :

<Configuration Product="ProPlus">

<Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="yes" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" />

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

<PIDKEY Value="25 digit product key " />

<USERNAME Value="%Username%" />

<COMPANYNAME Value="Company Name" />

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

<SOURCELIST Value="\\server\install\applications\microsoft\office2k" />

<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>

I followed the instructions listed in here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/library...echNet.10).aspx but it kept failing with VB script errors.

can someone please help.

Thanks,
