Adding programs via Office Customization tool

[Jimmy]

Hi,

I'm using the OCT (2007) to develop different flavors of
installations.

If I develop a msp to install "Standard" (word, Excel, Powerpoint) and
I then want to add Access, I need to develop another MSP for adding
Access.

It seems that if in the msp for adding Access if I make Word, Excel
or Powerpoint Unvailable (X on the feature tree), that program
actually gets unistalled from the Standard installation. Is that
correct?

OTOH, if in the MSP for adding Access, I have Word, Excel, Powerpoint
as Run All from My computer (for example), do they actuall get re-
installed even thoug they were already there from the Standard
installation.

Is there any good documentation for OCT and related operations?

BTW, we use Marimba to deploy at my work place.

TIA.

Jimmy
