Rocket Man Posted December 29, 2012 Report post Posted December 29, 2012 Why do you need to convert it to MSI? You can use any executable file and still deploy it using the application model, once you have the the correct silent switches for it.

weq Posted December 31, 2012 Report post Posted December 31, 2012 Office 2010 has everything you need for an unattended installation built into the Setup.exe explore setup.exe /admin and make a MSP file. An MSP file can either be specified by using setup.exe /adminfile filename.msp or by placing it in the updates folder. You can only use 1 self-created MSP file. You can also customize alot of the installation by using a config.xml file. This also can either be specified by using setup.exe /config config.xml or by placing it next to the setup.exe then it will be pulled by setup.exe automatically. Read more about this in the resource kit on technet. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee460874(v=office.14).aspx Btw, same method is used with Office 2007-2013.
