dear SCCM admins,

i am trying to test deploying office 2013 to users in my company. i made the application and deployments. the application appeared in the software center and in the application catalog.

The problem is whenever a user "which is not a local administrator" tries to install this application, it gives me the setup errors message saying "You must have administrative privileges to install or uninstall this product."

Is there any specific configuration to make to overcome this behavior???

appreciate your suggesstions

M.Zakaria

The context (user vs admin (=system)) can be defined on the deployment type, User Experience tab (Installation behav

Thanks Trosten, this was very helpful.

another question in the same context. when creating this application, i changed the uninstall program to be "Setup.exe /uninstall". when testing this from software center, i got the below window:

any suggestions how to overcome this and make the uninstall complete??

As you can see from the screenshot you need to add the ProductID after the uninstall command.

See here for finding the ProductID

Thanks Gerry for the reply... right, the command needed the product key. or as worked with me just add "ProPlus" to the command like:

Setup.exe /uninstall ProPlus

for making the uninstallation Silent, we may need to create a .xml config file and add the following lines:

<Configuration Product="ProPlus">

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

</Configuration>

then edit the command line to be like:

setup.exe /uninstall ProPlus /config  \\server\share\Office15\ProPlus.WW\SilentUninstallConfig.xml
