Can I repackage also Office 2010 on the same way? I have tried to repackage it and deployed it, with Citrix Installation manager. The installation was successfull, but when I try to open Word or so, a config window appear and I have to insert the cd-key again. After that I got an error-message that configuration failed, something wasnt found for that

@seppipimp Yes, you can repackage Office 2010. Note that repackaging results can depend on repackaging steps, installation project you select to include into MSI, repackaging environment, etc. Please contact our support for assistance.

Thanks for the video, but how do i convert the software to .msi without instilling it on my own computer or server?

[emcosoftware]

@Thetrutv : Thank you for your question. Sorry, but there is no easy way, because not all installations are ready for deployment in a silent mode. So you have to install it and capture installation process. We recommend to make capturing on a virtual machine, VMWare for example. In this case your server/workstation will stay unchanged.
