Right. If you go to the archive for this list, Michael Pietrzak had posted
some items about this. I don't believe the .msp buys you anything in terms
of customization. I hope to test some of this today, however.

What about using the setup.exe /admin switch to create the .msp file? I
read that if you leave the .msp file in the Updates folder of the folder
structure on the network share that it will apply it during installation. I
am not sure I believe this works, because an installation of Visio 2007
pushed out but once I opened the product it asked me for the CD Key which I
had already put in the .msp file that I created.

Good question Justin. Actually it is possible to deploy Office 2007 through
GP but it has completely changed. You no longer create an admin install
point. You just copy the CD bits to the share. And, it no longer supports
transforms. You have a file called config.xml that support minimal
customization that you put in the install directory along with the bits.
Really a step back actually. MS used to have a technet article describing
this but the pulled it recently. However, thanks to the wonders of Google,
you can still find it cached at

Does anyone know who the Office 2007 products can be pushed out via group
policy? How do you create an administrative installation point? How to you
include customizations?
