Office 2007 Norwegian Silent Install

[Clive]

Hi there,

I have created my own msp file for the installation of Office 2007
Enterprise (Norwegian) edition for a customer. However no matter what setting
I set in the Licensing and user interface section the user gets up a winows
requesting what version or part of office they want to install. If the user
then chooses Office 2007 Enterprise Edition it install everything
automaticaly without any further information required.

The installation is placed on a network drive and the installation is run
with a command:

\\server\Office2007\setup.exe /adminfile \\server\Office2007\mymspfile.msp

How can I get rid of the first screen that comes up?

Many Thanks in advance

Clive

This is expected behaivor when using the select media. (Sounds like you are)

To bypass the intitial screen you will need to tell setup what product you
are trying to install by calling the config.xml.

Example:

If you are installing Office 2007 enterprise, find the config.xml inside of
the enterprise.ww folder.

Open that config.xml and change the following line to read...

<Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes"
AcceptEula="yes" />

Then run the following setup command to call that config.xml with your
custom .msp like so...

\\server\Office2007\setup.exe /adminfile \\server\Office2007\mymspfile.msp
/config \\server\Office2007\enterprise.ww\config.xml

That will make your install entirely silent.
