Office 2007 Pro Deployment using SCE 2007
I have been unsuccessfully trying to install Office 2007 Pro Plus to a test machine now for several days using SCE 2007. I have looked through all the threads to see if there is something that I am doing wrong but can't seem to come across the resolution.
Here is the setup:
I am able to successfully package and assign the package to a group, but when it goes to install on the target machine, it fails almost instantly. The system event log on the target machine has the following info:
Source: Windows Update Agent Category: Installation Event ID: 20 Type: Error Description: "Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80070643: Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2007."
I have searched on the above items to see what the issue is but its a non-descript answer. I believe that I packaged the software correctly using the config.xml file and a .msp file that is located in the "Updates" folder
on the SCE 2007 server.
One last thing, I have Microsoft Office 2003 on the target machine that I told the new Office 2007 installation .msp file to uninstall.
Can anyone help me with this issue or point me in the right direction?
Thank you very much in advance.

Hello Hawkeye,
It seems more like a Office installation issue but not a SCE related issue. For this question, I would suggest the following Microsoft public newsgroup, which would be the best resource for your question.
