Software Deployment

I'm having great difficulties deploying Project Professional 2007. I have a correct XML config file (i believe).

<Configuration Product="PrjPro">

<Display Level="Full" CompletionNotice="yes" SuppressModal="no" AcceptEula="yes" />

<Logging Type="standard" Path="%temp%" Template="Microsoft Office Project Professional Setup(*).txt" />

<PIDKEY Value="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" />

<USERNAME Value="IT xxxxxxx" />

<COMPANYNAME Value="xxxxxx" />

<INSTALLLOCATION Value="%programfiles%\Microsoft Office" />

<LIS CACHEACTION="CacheOnly" />

<SOURCELIST Value="\\xxxxxx\gpoinstall\Project Professional\SW_CD_Project_Pro_2007_W32_English_1_PA_BP_MLF_X12-19204\PrjPro.WW" />

<DistributionPoint Location="\\xxxxx\gpoinstall\Project Professional\SW_CD_Project_Pro_2007_W32_English_1_PA_BP_MLF_X12-19204\PrjPro.WW" />

<OptionState Id="OptionID" State="absent" Children="force" />

<Setting Id="Reboot" Value="IfNeeded" />

<Command Path="%WINDIR%\system32\msiexec.exe" Args="/i \\xxxxx\gpoinstall\Project Professional\SW_CD_Project_Pro_2007_W32_English_1_PA_BP_MLF_X12-19204\PrjPro.WW\PrjProWW.msi" QuietArg="/q" ChainPosition="after" Execute="install" />

</Configuration>





The issue is, when its deployed, and a user logs onto their workstation, there are no shortcuts displayed, almost as if the apckage is published and not assigned.

When a user loads a project 2007 icon, it tried to install the rest of the Project package and fails to load project itself, just a desktop blank screen. Then if you try again, "Do you want to try loading Office Project 2007 in safe mode?"

Now im screwed, i have to manually uninstall the package as its unuseable at this point.

Also, in event viewer, the following is displayed:

[center]Detection of product '{90120000-003B-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}', feature 'PROJECTFiles' failed during request for component '{43C3CF66-AA31-476D-B029-6D274E46F86C}'

and

[center]The description for Event ID ( 2001 ) in Source ( Microsoft Office 12 ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Microsoft Office Project, Project failed to start correctly last time. Starting Project in safe mode will help you correct or isolate a startup problem in order to successfully start the program. Some functionality may be disabled in this mode.

Has anybody got any ideas?

Ive tried a new msi file incase the old one was corrupt, permissions, elevating user permissions. installing manually from the CD works fine by running the setp.exe file.


Thanks Guys, be gentle, im new here.
