Hello all,

I am in the process of upgrading users to MS Office 2007, from 2003. The msi package that I received with the software does not install on machines. I get a message saying "components are not present to install".

I can do an install from the "setup" of the program. The problem is that I have remote users that I need to get this installed to using gpo. Also, using the setup would require the product number to be installed. I want this to be installed automatically with a silent install.

Thanks in advance for any help.
 
to have the setup run with out a user needing to enter in the product key, you need to create an admin install point. M$ will only allow you to do that if you have purchased your software through their Select, VLA, or what ever they are calling their enterprise licensing this year. Boxed media will not allow you to create an admin install point. Setup.exe /a will start the process of creating an admin install point.

Once yo have that, use the ORK as Simon suggested to make your MST. When you are done with the wizard, it will give you an example of the command line you need to run to use the MST with your MSI.

You will make your GPO based off that command line.
