Unattended install using .MSP Rob Grayson 13.07.2006 16:50:02 Is it possible to create an unattended install using an .msp file? I have created custom installation files, but launching setup.exe /adminfile mymsp.msp launches a dialog box that asks me what product I want to install. I do not want any interaction with the application install. Is there a way to use the /config and /adminfile parameters in combination to create a totally silent install? Is that necessary? If assigning an .msp file to setup it should already know what app i'm installing because I told it when I created the .msp file. Any help would be great

You may want to take a look at the steps on this in the Office 2007 Resource Kit (if you're using a machine that does not have Office 2007 installed, add the ActiveX control from link #3 below to review the beta 2007 Resource Kit at http://officebeta.iponet.net/en-us/techcenter/FX100644811033.aspx ======= <<"Rob Grayson" <Rob Grayson[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:6CE3EA8F-C10E-4BAD-BC00-B659034E6791[ at ]microsoft.com...
