Outlook 2007 installation party; PowerPoint invites itself

S

Sande

I have an Office 2007 Enterprise installation point, and am fairly
experienced in Office deployments. Many XP users are keeping Office 2003 for
now, so I need to add just Outlook 2007 from that Office installation point.
I used the Office Customization Tool (OCT) to create OutlookOnly.msp, and it
works fine for installing Outlook 2007. But...

The second time the user launches Outlook 2007, that Office 2007 dialog pops
up about needing to install more components. When it finally quits, Outlook
opens, but meanwhile PowerPoint 2007 has added itself to the menus, and has
replaced PowerPoint 2003.

I assume that I selected some wrong component(s) on the Installation Options
screen in the OCT, but I don't know which components those are. Can anyone
tell me how to figure this out? I can't do a stealth replacement of
PowerPoint on every PC just to get Outlook 2007 installed. If I do, I see
users with torches and pitchforks storming up the hill in the middle of the
night... Sande

Here's the section from the installation log that shows what I have turned on
and off in the OCT .MSP. Can anyone see what it is that might be triggering
the unwanted installation of PowerPoint? Is there some other part of the log
that has useful information? I'd appreciate any help.

There was a small mistake in my initial analysis. PowerPoint 2007 does not
replace (uninstall) PowerPoint 2003; it just adds itself, and hijacks the
PowerPoint filename extensions like .ppt.

Doing an Office 2003 Repair (msiexec /fomus) gives the extensions back to
PowerPoint 2003, which solves the most critical problem.

Still, I'd like to know which of the components I posted in my last reply is
causing the PowerPoint 2007 installation in the first place. Can anyone tell
me how to interpret that information?
