I recently started working on such a task. It silently installs office 2007 across the network (because I don’t want to cache a 2.5GB office install folder).

Links:

config.xml http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179195.aspx

These are the steps:

  1. Create an .msp file that will include your settings

1A) Launch setup.exe /admin ,then save your .msp folder in the same folder as your setup.exe

  1. Modify the config.xml file for the install you are running. For example, I was running a Professional Plus version of 2007, so in the Proplus.ww\config.xml file, I embedded my serial key, username, user initials, and display level.

to get it to install silently, I used the following command:

setup.exe /adminfile ourfile.msp /config .\proplus.ww\config.xml

The problem is that it takes forever to silently uninstall the old previous version of office (which is autoatmically done with the office 07 install) and then to install 07, but it does get it done.
