WAPT and MS Office

[a.grisard]

So, when I run the command manually: The launcher appears with the choice between Install and Custom.

When I choose Install, I get the configuration I entered in my MSP file (the license, the installation without access).

But I just realized my mistake: I put my MSP in the UPDATES folder, and now when I select the "install now" button, the installation starts. So, can I try a WAPT package again?

[sfonteneau]

That explains your problem.

You can therefore try a WAPT package again.

I just tried the manual command "setup.exe /adminfile "install_sans_access.msp" and it worked. However, the window (office) appears and disappears.

When I run my package on my machine, I get information that the task is complete but nothing is installed.

When I go into the Temp files, I get the following log:

The logs don't tell me anything.

If the command `setup.exe /adminfile "install.msp"` succeeds when you test it manually (without any manual intervention on your part), but your WAPT package doesn't work, that's quite strange.

[a.grisard]

Here's my procedure:
1) I run the "setup /admin" command to create my MSP configuration file.
2) I create a package with the command "wapt-get make-template path\setup.exe".
3) I modify my Python files as described above.
4) I run the package build with "wapt-get build-upload path\aiz-office2007-wapt".
5) The package automatically uploads to my repositories.
6) I associate it with a machine.
7) I run a package update and installation on that machine.

I just succeeded!! I'm now going to try your uninstallation procedure.

[a.grisard]

I'm having some trouble uninstalling.

I understand that I need to insert an "uninstall.xml" file, but I don't understand how it works.

I added this to my Python script: "uninstallstring = 'MsiExec.exe /qn /X{90120000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}'" without success.

Any ideas?

Here is the content of the uninstall.xml file for Office Pro Plus:

Code: Select all

<Configuration Product="ProPlus">
<Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" />
  <Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="NEVER" />
</Configuration>

Here is the uninstall string that I specify at the top of setup.py:

Code: Select all

uninstallstring =['"%s\Common Files\microsoft shared\OFFICE15\Office Setup Controller\Setup.exe" /uninstall ProPlus /config "%s\Common Files\uninstall.xml"' % (programfiles32,programfiles32) ]

Note that for the uninstall to work, the file must be copied to %programfiles%\Common Files\

I copy it using this command during software installation:

Code: Select all

    filecopyto("uninstall.xml",os.path.join(programfiles32,"Common Files"))

I'm writing to let you know that I've successfully deployed and uninstalled my Office 2007 package.

Now I need to uninstall the existing Microsoft Office Professional installation and replace it with Office Standard 2007. Is this possible?

I tried creating a new Office Standard package, but it doesn't reinstall Office; it copies it alongside the existing installation. So I have two entries in Windows, and Access is still present.

[sfonteneau]

When creating the MSP, it is normally possible to check "Uninstall previous versions of Microsoft Office".

Otherwise, you have to resort to scripting the uninstallations.

[a.grisard]

The problem is that it does not recognize the already installed version of Office Pro; it adds a program line in Office Standard and therefore does not uninstall Access.
