MS Office 2010 apps


Run Setup /admin use the Office Customisation Tool (OCT) and save the msp output to the updates subfolder in the installation media.  It is the admin subfolder in volume licensed installation media which enables the OCT functionality.

Edit the default config.xml file to control display and logging and copy to the root adjacent to the setup.exe.

See here for config.xml options

Create an uninstall.xml file similar to the config.xml

Uninstall command is
setup /uninstall <Product ID> /config .\xxx.ww\uninstall.xml

Product ID (NOT THE PRODUCT GUID) is the text at the top of the config.xml file - Configuration Product="xxxx"



When working with feature states while creating installation customisations, the following letters may appear next to the features to indicated their states

F = Forced to this state
H = Hidden - once set cannot be unset
L = Locked
