I had a requirement this week to install Office 2007 Excel on a server to support a royalties application here at the office. For some reason, every time I kicked off the setup.exe installer, it would simply start doing a full install, very annoying. Did some research and found there is a config.xml file located in \ProPlus.WW which gives directives to the installer with the appropriate switches. By default, all the lines are commented out. Basically all that is required is to uncomment the first line starting with Display, save, then issue the installer with the following switch:
Setup.exe /config ProPlus.WW\config.xml
Not sure why this is necessary to begin with. Why would you not want the users to input what they want as part of the install by default. In any case, this appears to be the workaround.
