Silent install
I am using the OCT to install Office 2007 Pro Plus. There is an option for
Display Level, which I have set to 'None', however, when I run the install, I get the splash screen - 'Setup is preparing files...'. Is there a way to prevent this screen from appearing? Or is the 'silent' install only muffled? Thanks.

Silent install
That should be sufficiant to prevent the users from seeing anything.
However... if that is not working for a totally silent install try this... Modify the config.xml for whatever product you are installing. For this example let's pretend you are installing proplus. If that is the case open the proplus.ww folder and edit the config.xml. Change this line... !-- Display Level="full" CompletionNotice="yes" SuppressModal="no" AcceptEula="no" / -- To... Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" / Then save the file.. Then run setup like so... Setup.exe /adminfile (path_to_msp\custom.msp) /config (path_to_proplus.ww\config.xml) The line you changed in the config.xml should force the install to be totally silent. -- Eric Palm MSFT Office Setup "wilsona" wrote: I am using the OCT to install Office 2007 Pro Plus.

Silent install
I tried to change the config.xml file in the ProPlus.ww folder with the same
result. I also used a tool to view the .MSP file in xml format to make sure the Display level was set to 'None'. Still no luck. Maybe that splash screen is meant to display. Any other thoughts are appreciated. "Eric A." wrote: That should be sufficiant to prevent the users from seeing anything. However... if that is not working for a totally silent install try this...

hmm..
The splash screen certainly should be hidden. You might want to try to recreate your source if it is a local or network location and recreate your ..msp and/or config.xml files from scratch and try again. Something is muffled alright. -- Eric Palm MSFT Office Setup "wilsona" wrote: I tried to change the config.xml file in the ProPlus.ww folder with the same result.

Thank you. I suppose that even though I made sure these settings were
changed, they didn't save - I have seen this with other settings. "Eric A." wrote: hmm.. The splash screen certainly should be hidden.

Unfortunately, I'm still running into the problem I created a new source
location for the files on the network, selected None for the Display level and unchecked the other options on that screen. I still get the splash screen 'Please wait while setup prepares...' I suppose I will have to live with it if there aren't any other suggestions. Thanks Eric. Anthony

Remove the exclamation marks from your default config.xml file

Hi Eric,
Based on another post you answered, I decided to use both the Config.xml file and the .MSP file for the installation. This did the trick - no more 'Setup is preparing the files....' window. Thank you for your assistance, Anthony
