Hi 

is possible to uninstall to 2010 and install 2007 MS office via K1000, we have to do it due to less license we have for MS office 2010

    • You don't use setup.exe to uninstall. - chucksteel 7 years ago
  • i get this error sometimes when installation happens..

    A program might need info from you or your permission to complete a task

Yes, I do it using a script.

In the "verify" section of the script I uninstall office 2010.

Then in the "on success" section I install office 2013.

The single script does it all.

    File setup.exe

    Parameters /uninstall STANDARD /dll OSETUP.DLL /config \\officetest\office2010\uninstall1.xml

Yes, this is possible. You will have to create a batch script that will uninstall 2010 and install 2007. Include that batch script with the 2007 installation files in an archive and upload to the K1000 as a managed install.

I had to removeOffice (2010), then run the O365 setup.exe with a config XML, I don't know if any of the below would help with installing older office versions....

 

 

To remove the entire office 2010 x86 suite:

"%~dp0\setup.exe" /config "%~dp0\Uninstall.xml"/Uninstall ProPlus

 

Uninstall.xml:

- <ConfigurationProduct="ProPlus">

  <Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="NO" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" />

  <Logging Type="standard" Path="%temp%" Template="Microsoft OfficeProfessional Plus Setup(*).txt" />

  <Setting Id="Reboot" Value="Never" />

  <Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="NEVER" />

  <OptionState Id="ProductFiles" State="Local" Children="force" />

  </Configuration>

 

 

Command line to install O365ProPlus:

setup /configure DesktopInst3.xml

 

 XML file:

- <Configuration>

- <AddOfficeClientEdition="32" Channel="Deferred">

- <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">

  <LanguageID="en-us" />

  <ExcludeAppID="Access" />

  </Product>

  </Add>

  <UpdatesEnabled="FALSE" />

  <DisplayLevel="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE"/>

  <LoggingLevel="Standard" Path="D:\_Cache\Log"/>

  <PropertyName="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="0" />

  <PropertyName="FORCEAPPSHUTDOWN" Value="TRUE"/>

  <PropertyName="SharedComputerLicensing" Value="0" />

  <PropertyName="PinIconsToTaskbar" Value="FALSE"/>

  </Configuration>
