[wpkg-users] office 2013 package+ The parameter is incorrect

[Marco Schmidt]

Don't use the "start" command. WPKG is waiting for the command to end.

The "%comspec%" is only needed for the "start" command. If you remove
the "start" you can also remove the "%comspec%".

I think the wiki page about MS Office install should be updated (and
some others :-) ).

The content of "%EXE-SOURCE%" should not end with a "\".

As far as I know, the office setup needs an XML file with the /config
parameter in addition to the /adminfile.

Greetings ...
 Marco
