Last friday I was able to decipher the XML to control the office2010
installation. There was a numerous things that I needed to be done.
One done, I tried to run my installation script and ran into the same
probleme. Setup lunch a separate process (OSE.EXE) and terminate.
My wpkg service runs as local system with desktop interaction enable. I
don't know what I can do more.
I wrote the little script that basicly wait after the installation
process. I did not had the time to test it properly.
---WAIT.BAT----
:UN
ping.exe -n 6 -w 1000 127.0.0.1 >NUL
tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq OSE.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "OSE.exe">NUL
if "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="0" goto UN
---------------
I hope to reach conclusion tomorrow, as I'll get back to that school and
have time to work on that.

> I suspect that what is going on has to do with UAC rather than with a separate process. If wpkg.js runs as ordinary user (even an Administrator), the installer has to switch to the "internal" Administrator account in order to actually do the installation. Since this actually switches to another account, you lose all file shares when this happens.

> I'm (barely) deploying office 2010 in schools labs. I thought everything was quit fine (not really, but it was working when wpkg.js was called from the command prompt) but the Office's setup.exe forks into it's own process and loose it's network share once wpkg.js is done.

> You'll be please to know that for own security, the software has to be activate. Normal user can't, just administrator. There is a VBS script that do that (i was about to cry). It can be spawn from the installer by the MSP. Google that, it's true! But that wont work for me, obviously 'cause an old voodoo spell cast upon I. I instead use this package :
>
> <package id="office2010-horizon-activation" name="Activation d'Office 2010"
> revision="1"
> reboot="false"
> priority="40">
> <depends package-id="office2010-horizon" />
> <check type="execute" path="%software%\office2010 \activation.bat" condition="exitcodeequalto" value="0" />
> <install cmd='"c:\windows\system32\cscript" "c:\program files \Microsoft Office\Office14\OSPP.vbs" /act' />
>
> </package>
>
> Activation.bat contain the following code :
> c:\windows\system32\cscript "c:\program files\Microsoft Office\Office14 \OSPP.vbs" /dstatus | find "---LICENSED---"
> exit %errorlevel%
>
> There, I bared it all. This works fine when called manually, but the installer complain that he loose the network share when run from the wpkg service. I guess it is normal since the installer fork it's process, letting the wpkg.js script terminate.
>
> I hope someone will find a neat hack to install office 2010.
