No good reason, really. only excuse that I am packaging in for ZfD7, but we
have a migration plan to Zen10, and don't want to plan ourselves into
obsolescence.

I'm sure the extra flexibility in ZCM will be up to the task, I'm in 
Provo this week on training and vacation most of next week, when I get 
back I hope to try this, important since it's a common app

work?

Since I started this thread (in the wrong place no less), I figured I'd add
some more information.

Found this on MS site giving more insight on the Office installation.

Marcus,
this was found on the link below:

Unlike previous versions of Microsoft Office products, the 2007 Office
release does not allow you to create an administrative installation point
by running Setup with the /a command-line option to extract compressed
source files. Instead, all installations occur from the compressed source.

But since ZCM can run command-line, setup.exe with the properly configured
.mps should suffice.  

Going to download the latest ZCM beta and play a bit...Thanks to all,

glad to help (just been away on a few days vacation - I hate getting 
jet-lag on vacation...)
