How to disable MSOCACHE / Remove MSOCACHE post installation
Hi All,
I am currently working at a customer location working on an engagement for migration from Office 2000 to Office 2007. The deployment technology used by the customer is Marimba and the way Marimba works, it creates separate channels for each software to be deployed, when a channel is subscribed by the client, the entire source folder for that software is copied to the desktop. This source folder is maintained on the desktop till it is subscribed to the channel. Any changes to the folder would result in re-applying the software to the desktop. As I understand with Office 2007, we also maintain a cache of the source file in the MSOCACHE folder, this results into duplication and additional consumption of disk space across the entire desktop estate. Please let me know if there is a way around to remove the MSOCACHE folder or disabling caching during installation. Regards, Reju Nair |

How to disable MSOCACHE / Remove MSOCACHE post installation
The MSOcache cannot be disabled for Office 2007. Furthermore the MSOcache
should not removed after 2007 is installed. The MSOcache is required for future patches/repairs etc. If you do remove the MSOcache folder you will be in an unsupported state. -- Eric Palm MSFT Office Setup "Reju Nair" wrote: Hi All, I am currently working at a customer location working on an engagement for migration from Office 2000 to Office 2007.

How to disable MSOCACHE / Remove MSOCACHE post installation
Hi All,
Another question coming out of the current user scenario at one of the customer locations is, if we create a cache of the Installation Source on one Desktop using the LIS CACHEACTION="CacheOnly" option in the config.xml and copy the MSOCACHE folder to other desktops and run the install from the setup.exe from the copied MSOCACHE Folder, will that work? I have faced problems where running the setup.exe from desktop where the MSOCACHE originated from ran as expected, but copying the same folder content to another desktop and running the setup throws up unexpected error.

How to disable MSOCACHE / Remove MSOCACHE post installation
Well it should be mentioned that you shouldn't run setup directly from the
msocache. What you probably want to do is share out a directory with a copy of the source and run setup from there on the machines. The bandwith used in that process will be comparible to copying the source to each machine anyway. It is not recommended to manually copy the msocache to each machine. Let the install create the msocache. -- Eric Palm MSFT Office Setup "Reju Nair" wrote: Hi All, Another question coming out of the current user scenario at one of the customer locations is, if we create a cache of the Installation Source on one Desktop using the LIS CACHEACTION="CacheOnly" option in the config.xml and copy the MSOCACHE folder to other desktops and run the install from the setup.exe from the copied MSOCACHE Folder, will that work?
