I'm trying to setup a network installation point for Office 2007 Standard and Office 2007 Professional from Volume Licensing for a client. I have successfully created the MSP file and it works fine, but now I need to tweak the install a little bit. The current environment is a hodgepodge of Office 2000, XP and 2003 (mostly professional version) installs from OEM and retail sources. I need to do the following, and I'm not sure how to do them.
1. I need to have Office 2007 Standard version uninstall the previous version regardless of type. In my testing, I've noticed that if the version of Office installed is Professional, the old version of Access remains. I don't want this. 2. I'd like to add the Access Runtime install to the Standard install if at all possible. 3. I notice that patches installed in the Update folder are suppose to be installed at the same time. What file type is suppose to be in that folder for this to happen? I downloaded the SP1 full installer package and put this in the folder but it didn't install. 4. If the network has WSUS do you know a way to maybe copy whatever WSUS downloads and put it in that folder?
