adding a component to an existing Office 2007 installation
ac2006 4/19/2007 8:12:01 PM
Hello,

I have silently installed Office 2007 on several user's machines, using a
custom .msp that dictated only Outlook 2007 would be installed.

Since then, I've had users report they are receiving the following error
when trying to setup AutoCorrection under Tools --> Options --> Spelling -->
Spelling and AutoCorrections --> AutoCorrect Options...:

"The list of common math AutoCorrections is not available. This feature is
not available. To make this feature available, run Setup.exe again, click
"Add or Remove Features" and chnage the feature to "Run from My Computer"

So I created a new task to modify the installation and install the Proofing
Tools by running the following command:

\\servername\sharename\setup.exe /modify Enterprise /config
\\servername\sharename\ProffingToolsConfig.xml

Here is my ProofingToolsConfig.xml

<Configuration Product="Enterprise">

<Display Level="None" CompletionNotice="No" SuppressModal="Yes"
AcceptEula="Yes" />

<Logging Type="Verbose" Path="c:\" Template="O2K7ProofingToolsInstall.txt" />

<!-- <PIDKEY Value="BCDFGHJKMPQRTVWXY2346789B" /> -->

<!-- <USERNAME Value="Customer" /> -->

<!-- <COMPANYNAME Value="MyCompany" /> -->

<!-- <INSTALLLOCATION Value="%programfiles%\Microsoft Office" /> -->

<!-- <LIS CACHEACTION="CacheOnly" /> -->

<!-- <SOURCELIST Value="\\server1\share\Office12;\\server2\share\Office12"
/> -->

<!-- <DistributionPoint Location="\\server\share\Office12" /> -->

<OptionState Id="ProofingTools" State="Local" Children="force" />

<Setting Id="Reboot" Value="Never" />

<!-- <Command Path="msiexec.exe" Args="/i \\server\share\my.msi"
QuietArg="/q" ChainPosition="after" Execute="install" /> -->

</Configuration>

The task runs and creates a log file but the Proofing Tools are not
installed or at least we are still receiving the error when trying to
configure AutoCorrect. Maybe Proofing Tools is the wrong component for that?

Here is the end of the log file that is created by the install

Sorry, I am not sure how to edit my original post. There is a typo, the
command I run to start my /modify task is:

\\servername\sharename\setup.exe /modify Enterprise /config
\\servername\sharename\ProofingToolsConfig.xml
