Hi Rainer, Paul
I changed the variables to lower case and escaped the backslashes the
way Rainer suggested but
no luck. When you can please see my debug log file below:

My xml file is simple and it looks like this now:

priotiy="1" reboot="false">
<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Microsoft Office
Professional Plus 2013" />
<variable name="exe-source" value="\\\\IP\\wpkg\\soft\\office13"/>
<variable name="msp-source"
value="\\\\IP\\wpkg\\soft\\office13\\1customfile"/>
<install cmd= " %comspec% /C start /WAIT %exe-source%\setup.exe
/adminfile %msp-source%\myoffice2013.msp" timeout="0">
</install>
</package>
</packages>
