Deploy Custom templates in office 2007

[Jean-Marie]

Trying to deploy custom templates in Office 2007 Pro Plus, according to
instructions on
http://technet2.microsoft.com/Offic...8537-4434-8789-ad54dca7652b1033.mspx?mfr=true

I have created my Office package with OCT, I have the reg file pointing to a
server and that reg key included in the .msp. I have my XML and XSD, copied
from the technet instruction and modified accordingly.

When I deploy it only the first template listed in the XML displays. I have
different sections for wd, xl and pp as described in the instructions.

Need help! Been trying to fix this for weeks now. XML code below:

[Michiel W.]

Did you specify an application value in the registry? If so, remove it. Your
XML describes templates for XL, WD and PP.

I'm trying to use the same technique, but i don't even get a tab 'Custom' in
my 'New Document' dialog.

I followed all steps described by Microsoft, but it won't work. First i used
a DFS link for the templates directory. Then I used the real UNC paths, but
that didn't do the trick.

Hope someone can help us.
