[ms office - 2007] Editing the config.xml to install office with no UI

[chris17_99]

Hi i've sorted my Config.xml file so that i can deploy Office 2007 succesfully, the only issue i am having is that when it installs its showing me an office dialog box when installing. I have listed the contents of my config file below if anyone can spot what i'm doing wrong. I'm quite new to all this so its might be something obvious i have missed.

 

Thanks for your help.

I found an example of a xml file that worked well for me, its takes out all the stuff you don't really need and forces the install of all the common apps and addin's. It mite not be exactly what you want but hope it helps:

 

Configuration Product="Pro">

 

 

 

 

//access

//outlook

//excel

//publisher

//Powerpoint

//access db Engine replication

//Clip Organizer

//SOAP toolkit

//handwriting

//docu update util

//script editor

//scanning,ocr,indexing

//picture manager

//sharepoint support

//msQuery

//visio viewer

//infopath

 

//new,open office docu lnks

No it still came up once logged in, but i found if you wait long enough and dont login it just installs it in the background. But thanks anyway

The config.xml works really well for 2007, but has anyone tried it with 2010 yet? I can't get mine to work - the error mentions that there is nothing selected and too many products to chose from:

 

Error: No product has been selected, and more than one product is available Type: 86::TooManyProducts.

 

Clearly they have changed something but the Technet articles haven't been of much use.
