Install Office 2010 based on a variable

[Kingskawn]

In my task sequence I have a line where Office 2010 will install if Office 2010 doesn't exists in the registry.

But for some reason it isn't working right now.

 

So in my TS I have;

 

Select the registry setting to evaluate

Root key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

 

Key: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0

 

Condition: not exists

is the os 64bit ? what does your smsts.log file say

[jamitupya]

from memory, this key can be created automatically with one of the later ms updates (without office being installed)....try using a nested key specific to an office app... like word or the registered users name...

 

a thought anyway...

[Kingskawn]

Yes I'll try to go deeper that just .\14.0

 

EDIT: I've put this

 

Key: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\InstallRoot

Condition: less than

Value name: InstallCount

Value type: REG_DWORD

Value: 1

[jamitupya]

same result?

 

can you send us your smsts.log
