You can use a config.xml file to do an unattended install of Office2k7. The command in my office2k7.bat file is: todo.pl ".reboot-on 194 %Z%\packages\office2k7\oem\setup.exe /config %SYSTEMDRIVE%\netinst\config.xml" I use a separate script to generate the config.xml file (which gets saved to %SYSTEMDRIVE%\netinst\ config.xml) from a CSV file that contains information about which edition of Office 2k7 to install (Standard, Basic, Small Business) as well as the appropriate license key for that edition and computer. It's similar to using a CSV file for unattended (http://unattended.sourceforge.net/dynamic.php) Some resources for how to build a config.xml file: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179195.aspx http://www.appdeploy.com/packages/detail.asp?id=860 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ unattended-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/unattended-info
