MS Office Forum / Outlook / New Users / March 2007Outlook 2007 Deployment
Hello I want to have the ability to dump the Outlook MSI file on my web server so my customers can download the MSI file and install it locally. I have tried to run the MSI file for Outlook locally to test this out and I get an error stating: Error 1713 Setup cannot install one of the required products for Microsoft Offcie Outlook MUI (English) 2007 I dont have Outlook 2003 installed locally but I do have the rest of Office 2003. Any ideas why I cannot do this? the outlook MSI is on the office 2007 CD and in the outlook.en-us folder.

That's exceedingly generous, but I do hope you're either gifting them the license (which I'm not even sure is allowed) or making it clear to your customers that when and if they aren't you're customer anymore, they need to uninstall the software. That said, I'm not entirely sure that you can do it from an internet based network (as opposed to a file share), but, http://technet2.microsoft.com/Office/en-us/library/fff8197f-284d-4837-8086-47cf2 cb410ed1033.mspx?mfr=true should be your first stop. http://technet2.microsoft.com/Office/en-us/library/fff8197f-284d-4837-8086-47cf2 cb410ed1033.mspx?mfr=true should also be useful. Basically, the msi alone isn't enough.  Signaturef.h. FWIW, this is a fairly common arrangement with hosted Exchange providers.

Its the SPLA licencing agreement to be more specific.

Curiosity killed the cat. I don't want to customise outlook I want to provide my customers with a dowloadable file that can be used to install Outlook manually. I thought the MSI would work but it doesn't and requires you to run the office setup program. Thanks anyway. AJ The MSI won't work, because Outlook 2007 comes in multiple MSIs. The only way to make sure all are installed in the correct order is to use setup.exe I'd presume that you can store the required files in the same directory structure as they are in the ISO/CD in a self-extracting file that after extraction launches setup.exe?
