Modifing Outlook 2007 Install with MSP File
Hello,
I have a situation where we have Outlook 2007 installed on a terminal server. We have created an MSP to use a certain PRF file. Outlook installed properly and all users connecting are setup the way we want. The problem is that now I want users to use a different PRF file. We created a new MSP and configured it to use our new PRF file. Is the proper procedure to uninstall outlook then reinstall with the new MSP file? Is there a way that I can just run the new MSP so that configuration changes will be in effect? Another thought I had was changing the location of the PRF file that Outlook is looking for. We setup or MSP so that the PRF file to use is located in c:\windows\system32. Our installation path is D:\program files\Microsoft Office. However after we installed Outlook the PRF file was copied to D:\program files\Microsoft Office. And the one is system32 doesn't seem to have an effect on anything. Please pass along any info as that would be greatly appreaciated. |

Modifing Outlook 2007 Install with MSP File
Yes, thank you for the post. I wanted to reply to give confirmation. Also I
found we need to deal with two different Office Installs. The problem we ran into was that we need to use two differnt MSP files. The problem is that the last one saved through the OCT is the only MSP will will run successfully. If I want to apply a different MSP file I need to open it with the OCT and save it. This seems to be because of the NOTE section in the link provided. It is strange though that if I create an MSP-A and a MSP-B on one box the move the MSP-A to another box, the MSP-A won't run. Only the MSP-B will run because it was created/saved last. I just don't get how the second box knows what the most recent MSP file is that was created on another box. Either way that is just my thinking and not neccessary to resolve as my problem is solved. Thank you. "Roady [MVP]" wrote: You could go that route indeed.
