Hi guys,

Since I suceeded in installing my Office 2007 lately ,I've been wondering if it's

possible to install Office 2007 Addins, by integrating them into the Office 2007 Setup

or otherwise by installing them differently through a silent switch..

Someone got any experience doing this?

Cheers

I don't with 2007, but I do with 2003...

All of them are msi files (usually the exe can be extracted.)

You can then install them like any other .msi package with your preferred method.

I tend to do them like so from a batch.

cd addondir

start /wait /i addon.msi /qb!- REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS

cd ..

cd nextaddondir

etc

sometimes INSTALLMODE=COMPLETE switch is needed. This is needed if there is a level of installation selection in the normal installation menu sequence (like office tools).

sometimes also there is an mst included for a particular language, so you add the switch TRANSFORMS=1033.mst (ex. for English). This is generally with 3rd party add ons.

occasionally you need also ACCEPTEULA=1 , say for the Visio IFilter addin.

you can install the Word Art Converter addin which uses an .inf with the following command line.

start /wait %windir%\system32\rundll32.exe syssetup,SetupInfObjectInstallAction DefaultInstall 128 .\pbwrdart.inf

again this is for 2003, but I believe most if not all are the same for 2007.

Cheers

Why don't you make admin install with a mst file then you can put in the serial and remove programs you don't wan't to install
