Have you created a Network Installation Point for Office 2007? What version of Windows? What are the customizations you've made to the Config.xml (and which of the several folders for Office 2007 are you configuring). Are you using Setup /Admin to access the Office 2007 Customization Tool (OCT2007) to create an Office Customization Patch (.MSP) and setting the display level in that file? http://officebeta.iponet.net/en-us/techcenter/HA101129741033.aspx?pid=CH100628601033 For corruption of the Config.xml files be sure you're following the conventions here http://officebeta.iponet.net/en-us/techcenter/HA012306521033.aspx?pid=CH100644431033 To access the Officebeta. website you'll need to be on a computer with 2007 beta 2 or the ActiveX control from link #3 below installed. ========= <<"Tim Mills" <Tim Mills[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:12F60354-109B-4310-832A-06764CD5860F[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: Office 2007 Config.xml config Tim Mills 06.07.2006 07:43:02 Bob, Windows XP SP2 Extracted install to C:\Office2007 I tried to use the \admin and created an msp, set the ui to none, and nothing happened the install splash screen appeared for about two seconds and then closed. SO i amended the config.xml file and copied it to the setup dir as instructed and the same thing occurs, I can onl;y get it to install with the config.xml set to basic, but if I add feature states using the OptionId then this states that the xml is corrupt, file written as below:- <Configuration Product="Pro"> <Display Level="basic" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" /> --> <Logging Type="standard" Path="%systemdrive%\debug\apps" Template="MicrosoftOfficeProfessional2007Setup(*).txt" /> --> <PIDKEY Value="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" /> --> <USERNAME Value="UBS AG" /> --> <COMPANYNAME Value="UBS AG" /> --> <INSTALLLOCATION Value="%programfiles%\Microsoft Office" /> --> <OptionState Id=”ACCESSFiles” State=”Absent” Children=”force” /> --> <OptionState Id=”PubPrimary” State=”Absent” Children=”force” /> --> <OptionState Id=”XDOCSFiles” State=”Absent” Children=”force” /> --> </Configuration> "Bob Buckland ?:-)" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Hi Tim, > > Without the complete set of steps you're using it's hard to know what you may be running into on this one. > > Have you created a Network Installation Point for Office 2007? > > What version of Windows? > > What are the customizations you've made to the Config.xml (and which of the several folders for Office 2007 are you configuring). > > Are you using Setup /Admin to access the Office 2007 Customization Tool (OCT2007) to create an Office Customization Patch (.MSP) and > setting the display level in that file? > http://officebeta.iponet.net/en-us/techcenter/HA101129741033.aspx?pid=CH100628601033 > > For corruption of the Config.xml files be sure you're following the conventions here > http://officebeta.iponet.net/en-us/techcenter/HA012306521033.aspx?pid=CH100644431033 > > To access the Officebeta. website you'll need to be on a computer with 2007 beta 2 or the ActiveX control from link #3 below > installed. > ========= > <<"Tim Mills" <Tim Mills[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:12F60354-109B-4310-832A-06764CD5860F[ at ]microsoft.com... > I have tried to install Office 2007 beta using the xml file, but firstly I > cannot install it silently, will only install with basic ui, and seconldy if > I try and set feature states to Absent for say AccessFiles it says the xml > file is corrupt. >> > -- > I hope this helped you, > > Bob Buckland ?:-) > MS Office system products MVP > > >>*Courtesy is not expensive and can pay big dividends<< > > LINKS to the 2007 Office System > > 1.
