RE: Silent install

Thank you. I suppose that even though I made sure these settings were
changed, they didn't save - I have seen this with other settings.

hmm..

The splash screen certainly should be hidden. You might want to try to
recreate your source if it is a local or network location and recreate your
.msp and/or config.xml files from scratch and try again. Something is muffled
alright.

I tried to change the config.xml file in the ProPlus.ww folder with the same
result. I also used a tool to view the .MSP file in xml format to make sure
the Display level was set to 'None'. Still no luck.
Maybe that splash screen is meant to display. Any other thoughts are
appreciated.

That should be sufficiant to prevent the users from seeing anything.

However... if that is not working for a totally silent install try this...

Modify the config.xml for whatever product you are installing. For this
example let's pretend you are installing proplus. If that is the case open
the proplus.ww folder and edit the config.xml.

Change this line...

<!-- <Display Level="full" CompletionNotice="yes" SuppressModal="no"
AcceptEula="no" /> -->

To...

<Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes"
AcceptEula="yes" />

Then save the file..

Then run setup like so...

Setup.exe /adminfile (path_to_msp\custom.msp) /config
(path_to_proplus.ww\config.xml)

The line you changed in the config.xml should force the install to be
totally silent.

I am using the OCT to install Office 2007 Pro Plus. There is an option for
Display Level, which I have set to 'None', however, when I run the install, I
get the splash screen - 'Setup is preparing files...'.
Is there a way to prevent this screen from appearing? Or is the 'silent'
install only muffled?

Thanks.
