Office 2007 and Sharepoint Designer Install

[darren_omalley]

Hi all

i'm trying to automate the install of office 2007 pro and sharepoint
designer at the same time

i've created a distibution share and copied the office files into it,
created an msp file to automate office and everything works fine when i run
setup from a client pc

i've then copied shrepointdesigner.ww and sharepointdesigner.en-us folders
into the same server share from the sharepoint designer dvd

when i now run setup i'm prompted to either install office or designer

there must be a way of combining both products, i don't really want to
install office and then designer

i've looked into modifying config.xml but had no luck so far

any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks
Darren

Hi Darren,

While you can install them both in a single run (and you may want to precache the Local Installation Source) it is a chained action
by product that you can manage with a script/batch file as one method using multiple MSPs as well
