Re: Office 2007 Deployment



I'd give it a test if you have a machine to test on. See if you get same
exit code... I got errors on about 10% of my machines (over 4000 machines)
that were similar type exit codes... It had to to with the install of
office 2003...

Good luck!!

No i haven't tried on a different machine. but I was able to install adobe
reader via sccm on this machine. And as i mentioned when I type the unc to
the server from the client the setup runs perfectly
No restarting didn't do it

Pretty sure restart setting won't fix it...

have you tried it on a different test machine???

Blast then that exactly how i had mine with the MSP in both the root
and
updates and with quotes. Other than the SMS restarts it's identical I
doubt
that is it but i will try thanks. After this I will open a ticket with
MS
support

Hey there,

Yes, the " " should be in there... This is my copy and pasted command
line
on my sms server:
setup.exe /adminfile "config.msp"

I have my environment set as:
Program can run: Whether or not a user is logged on
and run with adminitrative rights.
for Requirements I have:
Estimated disk space : 2 GB
Max run time : 240 mins
Under General I have:
Run: normal
After running: SMS restarts computer ( I found this resolved a lot
of
first time start up issues if the computer reboots after install)

Might be relevant... I have my .msp file in the root of my shared
office2007 directory, and also in the Updates directory. I think you
can
run it without having the /adminfile "*.msp" if you have the file in
the
updates directory, but I figured better safe than sorry, and it's
working
for me...

Yes running it from teh command prompt \\smserver\share etc works
fine.
My
attempt at the command line from SCCM didn't. Dump question the
quotes
around
"config.msp" should they have went in there?
I am uninstalling 2007 and will try without quotes

Make sure you try running it from command prompt from the test
computer
in
question as well.

\\SMSserver\installpath\setup.exe

It could be it has problems uninstalling Office 2003.. I've had
that
on
quite a few machines.. If you try uninstalling Office 2003 from
add
remove
programs first, then rerun advertisement for office 2007 install
does
it
work? Also, was there any beta version of Office 2007 running on
the
client
in question, I've heard that can cause install problems...

maybe that's my problem. My command line is just setup.exe from
the
white
paper I am reading as long as you put the msp file in the Updates
folder
that
all you needed to do. I haven't ran any switches on the setup.
It's defintely not space it's a basic test machine loads of space
and 1
gb
of ram running XP sp2

a

issue or anything on the client side is it? It meets all min
requirements?

What if you manually uninstall Office 2003 then try running SMS
push
to
it... I've had that problem on certain machines, where
uninstall
of
Office
2003 doesn't work properly from sms push of install office
2007...
When
I
uninstall manually then push app it works great on those
machines...
Some
machines prompt for the install CD when you go to uninstall
office
2003
and
SMS push bombs from it...

My command line is the following and works for us (with SMS 2003
though)

setup.exe /adminfile "config.msp"

I ran
setup.exe /admin

from the 2007 cd to create the msp file... Worked great...

What's your command line?

Having some issues with office 2007 deployment still in
testing
phase.
I
have
pushed out other software with SCCM so I think i have the
basic
procedure
down.

My test client (with office 2003 sp3 install on a xp sp2 box)
gets
the
advertisement and starts teh install but fails instantly. I
have
confirmed
the client can reach the hidden share on the SCCM server with
the
Office
source files. I used the OCT tool to create a MSP file placed
it
in
the
Updates folder. The customization is very minor in this
testing
phase
basically just putting in the key.
In the status message i get a Failure exit code of 30050 which
isn't
very
descriptive
I am not using any parameters in the command line of the
program
just
going
to Setup.exe I haven't found any guidance on this if there are
switches
i
should be using.
the windows installer is pointed to the proplusww.msi file.

Just looking to do a simple upgrade for the test. Have been
using
the
Deploying Office 2007 with SMS 2003 R2 guide. Haven't found a
newer
one
for
SCCM but the basics are the same, as i said I pushed out other
software
so
the basics are covered.

Any ideas?
