if you are using MAK licenses, you can activate silently your product using the OSPP.vbs which is installed in the office14 directory.

[WindowsFolder]\cscript.exe [INSTALLDIR]Office14\OSPP.VBS /act

You can add this into OCT to run post install (/act will be the argument)

Command Line

To do a silent UNINSTALL:

Firstly, edit the config.xml file in the "PrjPro.WW" directory within your install source files and add the following line:

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

Now you can run the following command line to do the uninstall silently:
setup.exe /uninstall PrjPro /config PrjPro.WW\config.xml

Note

If you wish to deploy a customized package of Ms Project Professional 2010, Microsoft doesnÃ¢Â€Â™t provide any solution to set a default Project Server Account for all users accounts on computers.
A solution is to make a batch file which will update all users accounts (and also Default user account)on the computer except All Users, LocalService and NetworkService accounts.
You will need to run this batch under a user account that have local admin privileges.

Here is a sample batch file:

@echo off
setlocal
set regcmd=%SystemRoot%\system32\reg.exe
set keypath=Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\MS Project\Profiles\Your Project Server
set valuename1=Name

Note

There is a screen when starting up if you have a previous version of Project installed that asks if you want to upgrade and has a checkbox to never ask again. To prevent this (and take the default action of upgrading your templates), add HKCU\Software\microsoft\office\ms project\previous global reg Dword value No Alert 0x00000001
