Default Office 2007 Installation via Group Policy

Ok we have read through the documentation and would like to upgrade all of
our clients office versions from XP to 2007 via Group Policy.

However we get the following error.

"Error 1713"

We followed the instructions from the article below.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l...reviousVersion

The errors KB article below tells us you cannot install using the msi which
is stated in the above document.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/926279


So how are we supposed to install? I know there are other ways but I was
wanting to do this easily.

Hi

What i did was set up the installer to be silent and not display the UI and
created a script to run the automated installer and applied this to the
computers logon script in a GPO object. This meant the installer was running
silently before the user could logon and with a notification echo'd from the
command line to the user. Dirty but effective.

The only real downside is your using the system account to install software
using a script but its better than using run as.
