Hi
I wonder whether anyone has any advice on my problem, as i have been
struggling for a few days now.

I am installing Office 2007 Pro through an unattended install. The event log
ad the app management log file both show that the installation was
successfull, but when I log onto the PC as the loal administrator the Office
folder is there, but no actual applications have been installed and there is
no entry in the program menu. After a few minutes the Configuration in
progress window comes up and effectively installs Office, but obviously this
takes ages ands I would like the entire install to happen before logon.

My config.xml looks like this:

<Configuration Product="ProPlus">

<Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes"
AcceptEula="yes" />
<Logging Type="verbose" Path="%temp%" Template="Microsoft Office
Professional Plus Setup(*).txt" />
<PIDKEY Value="Entered the VLK here" />
<!-- <USERNAME Value="0wner" />-->
<COMPANYNAME Value="Company name />
<OptionState Id="ACCESSFiles" State="local" Children="force" /> //access
<OptionState Id="EXCELFiles" State="local" Children="force" /> //access
<OptionState Id="OUTLOOKFiles" State="local" Children="force" /> //outlook
<OptionState Id="PubPrimary" State="local" Children="force" /> //publisher
<OptionState Id="PPTFiles" State="local" Children="force" /> //outlook
<OptionState Id="XDOCSFiles" State="local" Children="force" /> //infopath
<OptionState Id="SHAREDFiles" State="local" Children="force" /> //outlook
<OptionState Id="TOOLSFiles" State="local" Children="force" /> //outlook

</Configuration>

I am not using an msp file as I understand that this is only for the
enterprise version of office.

Can anyone help? I am totally missing something, but have no idea what and
am starting to go round in circles.

Thanks
Saira
