unattended office 2007 MUI installation Bob 5/8/2007 11:04:39 AM How do I create an unattended MUI installation for an already installed Office 2007 Enterprise configuration? When I run setup.exe /admin, I get an error that the files are not available.

Re: unattended office 2007 MUI installation Bob 5/9/2007 7:34:09 AM I didn't recognize there was a difference on the MUIs, I thought they were all considered "products" and picked up the original installation.

Re: unattended office 2007 MUI installation.. ANYBODY? Bill?? Bob 5/14/2007 11:50:00 AM OK! How about if I dumb this down to only installing the proofing tools?

Re: unattended office 2007 MUI installation.. ANYBODY? Bill?? "Bob Buckland ?:-\)" <75214.226(At Beautiful Downtown)compuserve.com> 5/15/2007 11:30:28 PM Hi Bob, If the folder in the Office Network Installation Point (or on the CD) is EnterpriseR.ww [R for retail] then you have a retail (non-volume license) copy of Office 2007 Enterprise. That edition does not include the Office Cutstomization Tools and you don't have the deployment part of Setup. What is the location of the Proofing Tools/MUI products (i.e. did you add them to the Office Network Installation Point [oNIP] or are you trying to add them from another location? With that many references (listed below in your prior message) there's no easy way to determine what the steps and command lines you've used, nor how to interpret your comment about the items conflicting on a number of points. Perhaps you can provide some additional detail on the specifics that we could use to followup on ? What is the version of Windows you're using? What Language Packs and MUI editions are you using (not all of the languages are released yet). How did you do the initial deployment and what edition and configuration/languages are those workstations in? What is the end configuration goal you're trying to achieve? ============ <<" <Bob[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:372FE111-9FE9-4949-968B-82A1D379382A[ at ]microsoft.com... OK!
