Hi Mark,

Thanks for the suggestion. Wanted to let you know that the script has actually been updated for Office 2010. The updated script has the following in the customization section which takes care of this:

set ProductName=Office14.PROPLUS

Here is a link to the updated article: technet.microsoft.com/.../ff602181.aspx.

Thanks for this, it was quite handy!

Small point, the script above will fail to detect a previous successful install of Office 14 because the registry path being queried will never exist.

I think you need to change the reg query command from

reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\%WOW6432NODE%Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\%ProductName%

reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\%WOW6432NODE%Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Office14.%ProductName%
