Anyone with experience with office 2007 network installs?

Trigger911 · Jul 29, 2009, 01:01 PM

I am having troubles making a silent installer to roll out over the network. I have used the office customization tools to make a silent installer which works but it still pops up the main menu and you have to select the enterprise to even install the application. I have created a *.bat files to run different installs depending on what OU it is in. But my installer works I just want to get rid of the screen that shows what set you want to install. I am thinking about dumping the MSP (Office Customization Tool) and just editing the config.xml. But any help would be great and thanks in advance.

Usually if a screen pops during a product install even though I have it set to fully unattended, it's because there's a setting or two that I missed (that doesn't have a default value, so the screen pops).

Well the *.msp works but I’m using the enterprise disc and it seems to ask me which installer to run and when I pick enterprise my .msp starts to kick in but I don’t want the users to have to pick enterprise radio button. I’m thinking I have to go XML on the install I just wanted a much easier way to allow macros and such and better customization on the first install.
