Software Deployment

Hello, We have a particular application we use in our environment that requires Access 2007 as a prereq. I have scripted the rest of this application's install but cannot get Access to install via xml file.

I am using the command <path>\setup.exe /config <path>\access.xml

The setup screen comes up and it looks like it's installing something but access never installs. I am posting my xml file below. Please let me know if anyone of you have witnessed this same issue or have any suggestions.

PS I can use the same form of the xml file for infopath and publisher and they install perfectly fine.
