Office 2007 (visio)

Hi,

Just looking at how Visio 2007 installs, and from what i have read, you 
cant run it from an msi, it has to be run from setup.exe.

I've used OCT, and that all works, but just curious as how to use 
ZENworks to deploy it.  I've only deployed .msi's.

Where possible, i like to add the serial number  via a property in the 
MSI tab of consoleone, but i'm not sure if this will be possible using 
setup.exe.

I have got it all going now.

Just did the Simple application (no .msi) option.  properties can still 
be passed on cmd line with setup.exe (see Office 2007 setup properties: 
http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/help/HA011364681033.aspx)

Only prob i have is with dependencies. From within the Visio object, i 
have added XMLlite (which is an .exe too). I have tested that on it's 
own, which is all ok, but when now running Visio, it has both installers 
going at the same time.

Not really a problem i guess, but i would have preferred if XMLlite 
finished before it started to install Visio.

Well i shouldn't have worked on this so early..

That url was for Office XP setup properties. Office 2007 setup 
properties here: 
http://technet2.microsoft.com/Office/en-us/library/41f07f9b-f0d0-489d-a185-d7b96

And it doesn't take any properties on command line :(

I unticked 'Continue distributions immediately', and now the 
dependencies work.
