OCT - preventing reboot in order to install addins jetta878 5/9/2007 2:19:03 PM How can I keep the computer from rebooting after installing Office 2007 in order to install some add-ins? Does it require the use of the config.xml file? I sure hope not cause my prgramming skills suck. I'd prefer to do the entire install using the OCT GUI.

The actual installation (setup run) occurs against the Local Installation Source, not from the CD/Network Installation point. ================= <<"jetta878" <jetta878[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:4FF68B11-0017-4152-A812-29FC95D02145[ at ]microsoft.com...

RE: OCT - preventing reboot in order to install addins jetta878 5/10/2007 2:39:01 PM OK I've got the install so it will not reboot the machine, and successfully installed an add-in after the Office 2007 install (save as PDF or XPS), but is still asks me to accept the terms of the agreement for the install, and to confirm the completion of the installation. Can I use the config.xml file to automate these factors for this add-on as well?
