I have noticed that some people have left out the

 

When I run the setp file manually it seems to work, but when I run the MSI through GPO it installs everything ?

 

Please can someone explain this, as I cant find any help anywhere else on the Internet.

I didnt put anything in the command path.

 

Here is my config, which I used to deploy 2007 via GPO.

Actually, thinking back, I did find that doing it this way didn't upgrade 2003 to 2007, it just added both. I made a batch file to uninstall 2003 first on machine startup, and then install 2007 from the gpo

I read somewhere that Only Standard Office 2007 would automatically upgrade Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2007.

 

Enterprise would only install 2007 without removing 2003

I have just found out that you can not use a Config.xml file to upgrade outlook to 2007

 

Deploying Outlook 2007 via Group Policy

 

I wish Microsoft would have just kept MST files as then I could have used GPO much easier.

 

Back to the drawing board then :-(
