Microsoft Office 2007 Setup / Installation command switches.

/admin – Runs the Office Customization Tool to create a Setup customization file (Setup customization file: File generated by the Office Customization Tool and applied during or after installation to customize the user’s default configuration.) (MSP file).

Example: \servernamesharenameOffice12setup.exe /admin

/adminfile [path] – Applies the specified Setup customization file to the installation. You can specify a path to a particular customization file (MSP file) or to the folder where you store customization files.The recommended location for customization files is the Updates folder at the root of the network installation point. In this case, you do not need to specify the file on the command line; Setup automatically finds the customization file that matches the product being installed and applies it during the installation.

If you store more than one customization file per product in the Updates folder, Setup applies all of them to the installation. If you want to create unique configurations for different groups of users, you must store the customization files in a separate folder and specify the customization file you want on the command line.

Example: \servernamesharenameOffice12setup.exe /adminfile \servershareMyUpdatesEngineering.msp

/config [path] – Specifies the Config.xml file that Setup uses during the installation. By default, the Config.xml file stored in the core product folder directs Setup to install that product. For example, the Config.xml file in the Pro.WW folder installs Microsoft Office Professional 2007. You can edit Config.xml to make additional customizations to the installation, including specifying one or more language versions to install.

Use /config on the Setup command line to point to the location of the default Config.xml file for a particular product or to point to a custom Config.xml file.

Example:\servernamesharenameOffice12setup.exe /config \servershareOffice12Pro.WWConfig.xml

/modify [ProductID] – Used with a modified Config.xml file to run Setup in maintenance mode and make changes to an existing Office installation, such as adding or removing features. Look up the value of [ProductID] in the Setup.xml file for the product you want to modify. The Setup.xml file is located in the core product folder on the network installation point. In Setup.xml, [ProductID] is equal to the value of the Id attribute of the Setup element.

For example:- <Setup Id=”Pro” Type=”Product” ProductCode=”{30120000-0011-0000-0000-1000000FF1CE}”>

Example: \servernamesharenameOffice12setup.exe /modify Pro /config \servershareOffice12AddOutlookConfig.xml

/repair [ProductID] - Runs Setup to repair the specified product. Look up the value of [ProductID] in the Setup.xml file for the product you want to modify.

Example: \servernamesharenameOffice12setup.exe /repair Pro

/uninstall [ProductID] – Removes the specified product from the user’s computer. Look up the value of [ProductID] in the Setup.xml file for the product you want to modify.

Example: \servernamesharenameOffice12setup.exe /uninstall Pro
