Error When install office 2007 in runonce mode

[suprasumo74]

Hi folks

I'm having the following problem: when I try to install Office 2007 by runonce method the following error occurs: "Go to Control Panel to install and configure system items" (see picture) and installation is simply aborted.

I've tried to create SFX files, else install via CAB but the same error occurs. I researched this error message on the net and found nothing.

The funny thing is that in the older versions of XP unattended that I created (the last was in October 2010) the installation of office works normally, and I haven't modified anything for the present installation, just inserted the XP updates.

Someone knows this error? Well .. take a look at this picture of the error (says in portuguese "Go to Control Panel to install and configure system items".

Any ideas? Thanks!

why don't you use windows xp service pack 3 which have already updates u can download it from many website and slipstream it may it work..

If I see your image, it seems you have already upgraded Windows XP to SP3.

Maybe you can find help here about config.xml and RunOnceEx:

Can you see any problems?

Tks again,

[myselfidem]

Could you attach your original untouched config.xml, please!

[suprasumo74]

Here goes the original on cd

<Configuration Product="Enterprise">

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

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

<!-- <PIDKEY Value="BCDFGHJKMPQRTVWXY2346789B" /> -->

<!-- <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>

Just a thing:

With the modified XML file I created a cab of office in 2007 that ran perfectly on a dvd mounted with windows 7 (with RT7 Lite program) . So my problems are mounting Office 2007 on XP with nLite (worked fine till I inserted the atualizations on XP from 10/10 til now, so I started to think thats one of these atualizations that couses the problem....but....).

Tks for the help pal.

You can see that the first line isn't the same: your Office product is Enterprise.

Inside your config.xml, you must change the first line. And use the original untouched config.xml (or a copy) to make changes :

<Configuration Product="Pro"> to <Configuration Product="Enterprise">

If you want create an SFX file for Office; you can find help here:

Example with my config.xml file for Office 2007 Standard:

config.xml

<Configuration Product="Standardr">

<Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="Yes" AcceptEula="Yes" />

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

<PIDKEY Value="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" />

<USERNAME Value="Full Name" />

<USERINITIALS Value="AA" />

<COMPANYNAME Value="particulier" />

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

<!-- <LIS CACHEACTION="CacheOnly" /> -->

<SOURCELIST Value="%sytemdrive%\Install\Office" />

<DistributionPoint Location="%systemdrive%\Install\Office" />

<SetupUpdates CheckForSUpdates="Yes" SUpdateLocation="%systemdrive%\Install\Office\updates" />

<!-- <OptionState Id="OptionID" State="absent" Children="force" /> -->

<Setting Id="Reboot" Value="NEVER" />

<Command Path="%WINDIR%\system32\msiexec.exe" Args="/i %systemdrive%\Install\Office\STANDARDR.WW\STANDARDRWW.MSI" QuietArg="/qn" ChainPosition="after" Execute="install" />

</Configuration>

Hi again myselidem...tks again pal!

No solution...i made the changes in config.xml ("pro to "enterprise") as the runoncex (I often do runexxt with avast free but i never tried with office)...so....same error (see the picture)...

I'm giving up..i'm thinking is a microsoft kb#@#@ of xp is disording my instalation ( I have 10 other programs included running fine... like nero, powerdvd...)...so...i'll try office 2010 in the next movement..

What's make me more bored is when u have a complete xp instalation and than run the SFX file...the office install fine...no erros..

again...thanks

[myselfidem]

If you do like my explaination above for the config.xml and the command, the installation will be successfull.

I've tested the two methods: with SFX file and using ruonceex without any problem (Office Standard 2007).

Adapt the batch for your needs and select the path where is located the config.xml file:

$OEM$\$1\Install\Office\{All files Office 2007}\ENTERPRISE.WW\CONFIG.XML

REG ADD %KEY%\025 /VE /D "Office ENTERPRISE 2007" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\025 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Office\SETUP.EXE /config %systemdrive%\Install\Office\Enterprise.WW\CONFIG.XML" /f

inside the config.xml file {path for silent installation}:

<Command Path="%WINDIR%\system32\msiexec.exe" Args="/i %systemdrive%\Install\Office\Enterprise.WW\EnterpriseWW.msi" QuietArg="/qn" ChainPosition="after" Execute="install" />

Config.xml file in the 2007 Office system

Help for Office Entreprise 2007 (SFX file creation):

Take care with the components you don't want install and check if the <OptionState ID = are correct!

Config.xml file OptionState Id values

You can keep the line inside config.xml to have an installation log file(look inside %temp% folder) and attach this one to see the errors:

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

Pal.....WORK IT OUT!! THANKS A LOT... THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED!

my cmd file:

@Echo OFF

SET PP=%windir%\Temp\Office\

REG ADD HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

SET KEY=HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

REG ADD %KEY%\025 /VE /D "Office 2007" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\025 /V 1 /D "%PP%SETUP.EXE /config %PP%Enterprise.WW\CONFIG.XML" /f

EXIT

I guest than u have to put the same name in the all files to go right!

The SFX file text so

Path=%windir%\Temp

SavePath

Setup=office.cmd

Silent=1

Overwrite=1

Peatecion when i set the path....that command ill extract alll your files to this directori.

WORKS 100%

THANKS VERY VERY MUNCH PAL!!!

[myselfidem]

Thanks, I'm happy to read you have successfully installed Office 2007 Entreprise silently!
