Silent install Office 2007 for SMS

[George]

I've used the OCT to create an adminfile that sets the install to skip
asking for product key and EULA, but it still asks if I want to install
Standard or custom.

Can this be done with the OCTor a setup switch, or do I need a config file
to make it automatically and silently accept standard? If so, will config.xml
work as supplied or will I need to edit it.

I'm deploying with SMS 2003 and though that woud take cars of this kind of
thing.'

Hi George,

If you are using office 2007 media that offers more then one version of the
product then you will need to specify the config.xml of the product you are
installing to skip the first screen.

You do NOT need to modify the config.xml at all you just need to reference
in your command line.

For example you will use....

setup.exe /adminfile (path_to_adminfile/custom.msp) /config
(path_to_config.xml/config.xml)

Thanks Eric. I'll give it a try tomorrow.
