I'm trying to use group policy to move users from Office XP to 2003. I've
downloaded the ORK 2003 and used the Custom Installation Wizard to create a
TRANSFORM file.
I've pointed the Software installation Policy (User Settings) to the
PRO11.msi file and the Transform file. My problem is that if I either
publish or assign the policy using the .msi option, it does not uninstall
Office XP as I have configured in the TRANSFORM.
If I use a ZAP file and Publish installation, I can use the cmdline syntax:
CmdLine = "setuppro.exe" TRANSFORM=\\server\share\custom.MFT /qb-
in the zap file and Office XP gets uninstalled and user settings get
migrated.
Is there something else I'm not doing? From what I've read this should work
either way.
The only Note from MS is that Group Policy bypasses Setup.exe and Setup.ini.
You can't deploy from a Compressed CD Image nor take advantage of new setup
functionality to create a local installation source.
