Modify existing Office 2010 installs by add Publisher 2010
I have existing installs of Office 2010 which we didnt include Publisher 2010 now I want to add this to some users without having to uninstall Office and reinstall with all features.
What I tried so far
run networkshare/setup.exe /modify STANDARD /config NETWORKSHARE/addpublisher.xml
create xml file with contents below
<Configuration Product="STANDARD">
<Setup Id="STANDARD" Type="Product" ProductCode="{90140000-0019-0409-0000-0000000FF1CE}"/>

Run setup.exe /admin, add the Publisher feature and save configuration as a .msp. Run the msp using msiexec /p /qb
Sorry buddy, but it is a lot simpler to do than this long procedure which you have mentioned here and there is no need for XML files.
Office 2010 comes with an inbuilt Office Customization toolkit which you can run to customize office 2010.
run setup.exe /admin and the customization toolkit will open up.
First try to bring it to the state you have right now and then just enable the Publisher feature in there and save it as an .MSP file.
Now you can deploy this MSP file on top of your Office 2010 packages already installed and then it will add Publisher to those users.

so after creating the new MSP which I have no issues with. I only want to deploy to a group of machines and not affect any existing machines. If I place that msp into the updates folder do I just run the setup directly with no switches ? - Mdart 12 years ago

Just tried running the setup after creating the new msp file and i get the add remove dialogue box so this is not updating silently - Mdart 12 years ago
