Re: Office 2007 Customization Tool

[Sean Martin]

I added some prompts to the batch file I created that should have prompted
for input before continuing. That's what leads me to believe the package
isn't invoking the additional installations I specified.

I'll try your procmon idea. Thanks.

RE: Office 2007 Customization Tool

Set your installation of the plugin to use detailed logging, see what's tanking.
Setup a procmon in a console while you install, then filter, see if it's 
getting called if no log appears with the answer.

Ok, I'm running into a brick wallplease help!

We have several Custom Office 2007 packages and I'm trying to update one to 
include the installation of a couple of Outlook Plugins. Using the OCT, I open 
the existing package, and have tried multiple methods of installing one simple 
Outlook plugin:

Add installations and run programs:
1) Pointing directly to the plugin.msi, with /quiet /norestart switches
2) Pointing directly to the plugin.msi, no switches
3) Moving the plugin.msi to the Updates location for Office12 then pointing to 
that.
4) Creating a batch file to install plugin.msi, and pointing to that.

I've opened our existing package and tried saving the changes back to the 
original. I've tried opening the package and saving it as new. It doesn't seem 
to be working. I'm testing this on a PC without Office installed, so I should 
be able to run the setup.exe /adminfile right?

End resultOffice installs just fine, my plugin does not. It appears to 
ignore the fact I've included additional post install tasks. My googlefu hasn't 
turned up much of anything, other than notes about the proper way to update 
existing Office installs. I'm trying to do a new install.

Has anyone run into this before?
