For #1 above, OWC11.MSI wasn't mentioned in your chained install section of
setup.ini, so when run from command line, it doesn't install. #2 is
similar - IF you are following the "step by step" you mentioned precisely,
then the chained install section is what takes care of whether the command
is a silent install.

#3 & final question revolve around "what is different about GPO install?" as
to whether SP1 gets installed? Specifically, GPO uses the MSI & MST, and
DOES NOT use SETUP.EXE or SETUP.INI. Since it doesn't use setup, it does
not know that you have added SP1 to the setup.ini install file, so... SP1
doesn't get installed. This is detailed on Office Online at:
