Activating Office 2010 Via the sysprep.xml help required.

[clivebuckwheat]

Hi

I am trying to activate Office 2010 via the sysprep.xml file

I know the following commands work because I manually ran them from a login state. Now I am trying to activate Office via the sysprep.xml file.It's not working.

Do I need quotes around the office path?

sysprep32nopk.txt

I think the problem is the space inside "Program Files"!

You can use quotes.Like this:

<SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">
                    <CommandLine>cscript //b "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs" /inpkey:PRODUCT KEY</CommandLine>
                    <Order>4</Order>
                    <RequiresUserInput>false</RequiresUserInput>
                </SynchronousCommand>
                <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">
                    <CommandLine>cscript //b "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs" /act</CommandLine>
                    <Order>5</Order>
                    <RequiresUserInput>false</RequiresUserInput>
                </SynchronousCommand>

Or like this:

<CommandLine>cscript //b C:\"Program Files"\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs /inpkey:PRODUCT KEY</CommandLine>

Or you can use %PROGRAMFILES%

Thank you sir, worked like a champ.

Fine! Thanks

How would the the sysprep file look on Windows 7 64?

<SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">

<CommandLine>cscript //b "C:\"Program Files (x86)"\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs" /inpkey:PRODUCT KEY</CommandLine>

<Order>4</Order>

<RequiresUserInput>false</RequiresUserInput>

</SynchronousCommand>

<SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">

<CommandLine>cscript //b "C:\"Program Files (x86)"\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs" /act</CommandLine>

<Order>5</Order>

<RequiresUserInput>false</RequiresUserInput>

</SynchronousCommand>

You can find help about Microsoft Office 2010 32 bit or 64 bit, here:

Tools to configure client computers in Office 2010

Troubleshooting Office installation failures

Extract:

2) From an elevated command prompt, run command lines similar to the following (if you are running 32-bit Office 2010 on a 64-bit operating system, the path should include Program Files (x86)):

%windir%\System32\cscript.exe "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\OSPP.VBS" /inpkey:xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx (where xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx is your 25 digit MAK product key for Office 2010)

%windir%\System32\cscript.exe "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs" /act

If you are using the x86 version of Office Professional Plus 2010 on an x64 version of Windows operating system, follow these steps:

a. At the command prompt, run the following command:

cscript "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs" /inpkey:<Product_Key>

Note: <Product_Key> represents the product key that you want to install.

b. Run the following command:

cscript "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs" /act

In other situations, follow these steps:

a. At the command prompt, run the following command:

cscript "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs" /inpkey:<Product_Key>

b. Run the following command:

cscript "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs" /act

Understanding 64-Bit Office

Extract:

For these reasons, we recommend running 32-bit Office 2010 even on 64-bit Windows operating systems for better compatibility.

On 64-bit Windows, more applications and documents may be opened at once, and switching among them will be faster because the machine can have more physical memory

for the processes to share. When the 64-bit ecosystem for Office is more mature, you’ll be able to easily migrate to 64-bit Office!

So can I insert these into my sysprep file like you have them and they will work? Sorry for so many dumb questions. i new to this Windows 7 sysprep

Thanks for all your help!

%windir%\System32\cscript.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\OSPP.VBS" /inpkey:xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx (where xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx is your 25 digit MAK product key for Office 2010)

You can keep the file you've made.

Be careful with the quotes!

<SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> 
                 <CommandLine>cscript //b "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs" /inpkey:PRODUCT KEY</CommandLine> 
                 <Order>4</Order> 
                 <RequiresUserInput>false</RequiresUserInput> 
          </SynchronousCommand> 
<SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> 
                <CommandLine>cscript //b "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs" /act</CommandLine> 
                <Order>5</Order> 
               <RequiresUserInput>false</RequiresUserInput> 
</SynchronousCommand>

I took the quotes out. but it still does not activate. Should there be a space between the program files and (x86)?

<SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">

<CommandLine>cscript //b "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs" /inpkey:PRODUCT KEY</CommandLine>

<Order>4</Order>

<RequiresUserInput>false</RequiresUserInput>

</SynchronousCommand>

<SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">

<CommandLine>cscript //b "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs" /act</CommandLine>

<Order>5</Order>

<RequiresUserInput>false</RequiresUserInput>

</SynchronousCommand>

[myselfidem]

Yes there is a space between Program Files and (x86).
