BrainDrain Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Does anyone know how to make Office 2007 Beta 2 work in an unattended install? I know it's easy in Beta1TR, but B2 seems to need Windows Installer 3.1 installed to install, ive tried silent Install of WI, then silent install of O2k7, but that doesn't work, after reboot it does though, so Im guessing that's the problem?

ajua Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 for windows installer just use this switches /Q /O /Zfor office, have you read the topic that someone posted with instructions to edit an xml file? search for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrainDrain Posted May 29, 2006 Author Share Posted May 29, 2006 Yeah, but when i set it to a basic display without Windows Installer 3.1 installed it demands I install WI3.1 before it, then it says an answerfile could not be found or no patches were included in it, or something like that once I make it silently install WI3.1 before Office 2007B2.I've tried both of prathapml's methods, I really don't think there's a problem with how I am doing the Office 2007 install, can someone explain how it would be possible to install Windows Installer 3.1 then Office 2007 BETA 2, prefferably with experience?
