Office 2007 Automation

I'm looking for another method do this instead the one with the OCR thing. All goes well but i can t determine if the setup has reach the final step. Will PixelGetColor() work ? I should look for a black pixel to be sure ?

Office 2007 is a huge subject ... More specific? Installing? Using?

Installing, use OCT tool to build a custom install.

I want to automate the install part ... And I want it installed with the default features ... nothing changed

[LarryDalooza]

Run the setup like...

setup.exe /admin

and create an .msp and put it in the "updates" folder ...

after running setup.exe /admin pick basic UI and put the product key in ...

play around with it... but remember to put the MSP file in the updates folder.

when you run setup it will look in the updates folder for the MSP and use your custom settings.

Yeap ... It worked ... It seems that the installer closed itself after installing office. Thanx Lar. Thanx.

Hi.

All You who have success with this, how do You install?

I have created a GPO containing the msi file. Have created a msp file and put it ind the uipdate folder, but somehow the installation doesn't seem to find the file?

Is there a certain way to start the setup to "activate" the msp file?

I have also tried to install by starting a normal installation

Best regards

Bo :-)

A little update.

I have created a new MSP and placed it in updates folder.

If I start installation by just clicking on setup, it seems like i starts. But still not when deploying through GPO. Has anyone manged this or how have You all done this?
