You may have a similar MSI on the Professional plus media. http://www.appdeploy.com/messageboards/tm.asp?m=23482 -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of rod.means@xxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2007 9:21 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Installing Office 2007 with IM Thanks for the info Malcolm, but the information in both of these articles are referring to the setup.exe file to be ran to start the install. The problem that I am running into is that Installation Manger does not allow me to create a package with an .exe extension. I am only able to create packages with .MSI .MSP and .WFS extensions. We are using the Professional plus Edition and not the Enterprise Edition, does anyone know if that matters?

Reading up on the install it seems that they replaced the PRO11.msi file (this is a file that we use to create a package for 2003) with a setup.exe file. This file controls which msi files are ran according to the customization file that you can create. Office now has a built in utility to customize the install and create an .MSP file which needs to be place in a specific directory when the setup.exe file is ran.

Browsing through a Office 2007 CD (haven't yet deployed it through IM) wouldn't it be the same / similar to say Office 2003 - choose the correct MSI - possibly customise it by creating a transform, then simply add it to IM? Is Office 2007 setup completely different to Office 2003?
