Office 2007 setup failure using adminfile and SMS

E

Ed

I have tested installing Office 2007 Professional Plus with both SMS
and using command line
and It keeps getting hung up.
I created a basic admin file using this command:
setup.exe /admin
It's called skills_install_view.msp
This just adds the key code and tells it to run in basic mode with no
prompts.
I also made one that was silent for installing with SMS.
Here is the last few lines from the log file where it hangs up with the
silent SMS install:

After this it should say:
Executing chained package: OfficeMUI.en-us

but it never gets there...

After 2 hours of inactivity and a failure message from SMS I rebooted
the PC.
About 12 hours later SMS tried to re-install the same package and it
worked.

Now I just built a clean Vista machine and used the View only adminfile
with a command line start and the log did the same thing. No progress
on the bar and the log file stalls in the same place.
On Vista install #2 it stalls here:
Successfully installed package: InfoPathMUI.en-us path:C:\MSOCache\All
Users\{90120000-0044-0409-0000-0000000FF1CE}-C\InfoPathMUI.msi

After this it should say:
Executing chained package: Proof.es-es


The SMS stuff was one test PC at a time.
Some of the command line testing was launched from a DFS share.

Any ideas???

I was able to resolve the issue by moving the .msp file into the
updates folder instead of calling it from the command line.
I don't know why this should be an issue since it's a documented
option.

This also resolved the issue for me. The SMS installation started but
after 30 minutes it still hadn't finished. It just got stuck every
time I tried. I moved the .msp file to the updates folder in the
package source folder and it installed fine. It took about 15 minutes
from start to finish, including one reboot.
