Hi,

i'm not installing (yet) msoffice 2010, but i'm installing Office2007
and visio2010 on XP systems and not using start /wait:

Visio:
<install cmd='"%PKG_DIR%\SETUP.EXE" /adminfile "%PKG_DIR%
\visio2010.msp" /config "%PKG_DIR%\conf-fcal.xml"' />

Office2007:
<install cmd='%PKG_SETUP% /config %SOFTWARE%\Microsoft\Office\2007
\config_fcal.xml' >
		<exit code="1641" reboot="delayed"/>
</install>

It works great on win XP trough 7 (even on 7-64bits)



on the other side: are you sure you are using the right command?

i don't understand why:

<install cmd='%comspec% /C start "" /WAIT "%SOFTWARE%\office
Office2010-MAK-SP1\setup.exe" /adminfile "%SOFTWARE%\office\obi.MSP"' >

and not:

<install cmd='%comspec% /C start /WAIT "%SOFTWARE%\office
Office2010-MAK-SP1\setup.exe" /adminfile "%SOFTWARE%\office\obi.MSP"' >

(why "" after /start ?)

may be i'm wrong on this last suggestion



Best Regards
