Having deployed the MSI to a test group of 40 users i found that if word was open a dll was still in use and the windows installer instigated a reboot.

This is a tad inconvenient for users so after the /quiet switch add /norestart. This will allow install but will not reboot to complete.

Notes: Shared "notes from the field" covering how to handle the automated installation of this software.

The Office 2007 Compatibility Packs allow Office 2003 and XP users to Open, Edit and Save documents, workbooks, projects, presentations, etc generated with Office 2007 products.

To obtain the converters for Word, Excel and PowerPoint 2007 download the FileFormatConverters.exe from <A HREF="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=941B3470-3AE9-4AEE-8F43-C6BB74CD1466&displaylang=en"TARGET=NEW>Microsoft</A>

The converters can be installed using either the .exe or by extracting the MSI.

Silent Install Using FileFormatConverters.exe:

FileFormatConverters.exe /quiet

Extracting the MSI:

FileFormatConverters.exe /extract:c:\temp

To obtain the MSI, go through the install-procedure. When "extracting files" is beging displayed, the MSI-file is copied to C:\Program Files\MSECache\O2007Cnv
The MSI-install ( /quiet for silent install) goes faster, because there's no need to extract to a temp dir.

There are switches you can use to extract the MSI and source files, then you can create a Transform for the MSI with Wise Package Studio. Within the Transform, set to install per Machine and never reboot and you will not have the issue with the restart window appearing after installation.

Here is the command line option to extract the MSI and source files:
FileFormatConverters.exe /extract:Path where to extract files

Unlike kj_95376 I didn't need to build a transform. I just extacted the source files, assigned to machines using group policy. Installed fine on next reboot.
