Office 2010 Proofing ToolKit Silent Installation

[Kazung-Q]

Hi,

I'm trying to make a silent installation for the Office 2010 Proofing Tools. I've updated the ProofKit.WW\config.xml file with all settings but I can't figure out how to get setup.exe to actually use the config.xml file.

setup.exe /config config.xml or setup.exe /config c:\path\to\config.xml don't do much

any help is hugely appreciated.

Post your config.xml (minus serial) lets see what it looks like

here goes. But I doubt it has anything to do with the config-file. I'm also posting the logfile it generates. It throws an error on my locale setting. Both my Windows and Office installation are in English. My regional settings are set to Dutch Belgium (locale ID 2067). Knowing the error is step 1. I'm a bit clueless about how to resolve this.

I know these pages by heard by now

I found the problem. But it was not in my config.xml file.

When I start the setup manually I'm presented a language selection dialog first (with only English and French as options) before the actual setup dialog is presented.

In the root folder there are also 2 folders ProofMUI.en-us and ProofMUI.fr-fr. There isn't an option to set the setup-dialog-language in the config.xml file, but when I remove the fr-fr-folder....setup will continue and start the installation (many thanks to MS for NOT documenting the use of those MUI folders. *sigh*)

But now up to the next undocumented problem: the installation starts and when the progress bar is at about 10 or 15% it presents the following error:

"setup cannot find proofkit.ww\proof.ar\proof.cab", with an "file open" dialog. If I point the installer to the ...\proof.ar\proof.cab file it gives me the error "This folder can't be used". Nice Also If I point it to a copy (!) of the installation files on a different location it gives the exact same error. See attached screenshots

Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

It seems that the temp path isn't correct!

Could you please attach your config.xml?

[Kazung-Q]

the file is the same as I've posted above. I've also tried including ALL languages, but that gives the exact same error.

[myselfidem]

Your file config.xml you give above isn't complete!!

[Kazung-Q]

What's missing? These are all parameters I've configured. The others are commented out. As for the option state: this was my test (add 1 proofing language). But I've also tried with all possible languages (including arabian).

in the install log I find these lines on the error:

LIS: wait for package "{90140000-004B-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}" to complete caching
LIS failed to cache download "{90140000-004B-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}-C" resource "Proof.ar|Proof.cab". Cache Error 0x80070017
Source Resolution succeeded
  LIS: start caching file "Proof.ar|Proof.cab"
LIS failed to cache download "{90140000-004B-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}-C" resource "Proof.ar|Proof.cab". Cache Error 0x80070017
Source Resolution cancelled
Error: User had cancelled setup Type: 90::UserCancel. 

The first line is the caching of the proof.ar file (although in my config file it's set as ABSENT)

the error isn't even known by Google

"Source Resolution succeed" is when I browse for the correct file

after which the same error is returned

The cancelled line is because I cancelled the setup after which a rollback happens.

I don't have the CD with Proofing tools!

But I think that the config.xml must writed like this for an unattended installation:

And the command to launch is like this:

setup.exe /config %systemdrive%\Office14\\ProofKit.WW\config.xml

Check if the file ProofKitWW.msi is correct because I don't have this program!

I hope that can help you!

@myselfidem: nope my Config file is correct. Every option has a default. in your config file you only have to set the "non-default" values

I found it by the way. The proof.ar\proof.cab file turned out to be corrupt. I donwloaded the iso file again from the MS site and it works flawlessy with my config file and after deleting the ProofMUI.fr-fr folder. (you'd really think that was a documented feature)

Thanks for all your support!

[myselfidem]

Thanks for your sharing!

Btw, do you use the full CD profing tools (with all the files) for your silent installation?

[Kazung-Q]

Yes.

[myselfidem]

Yes.

Thanks!
