Office 2007 SaveAsPDFandXPS.exe
Hi, I wanna add the SaveAsPDFandXPS.exe add-in to my Office 2007 package.
So I started the OCT Tool and went to the Add installations and run programs section and I added the path where the add-in reside : \\pc-jakeld\setup$\Microsoft\Office\2007 Enterprise EN\Add-Ins\SaveAsPDFandXPS.exe.
The problem is what if the path of the add-in change like if i want to put on a CD how I am suppose to guess which letter will my cd-rom drive be. I want my package compatible on every PC. So I need a variable for the Current Path like [CurrentPath] but unfortunatelly looks like MS forget to include that one which really piss me out.

I'm not intimate with the Office Customistaion Tool but couldn't you just use the shorthand '.' for the current directory? Then your called EXE could live alongside the MSI:
.\SaveAsPDFandXPS.exe
or in a sub-folder branching from the MSI's parent folder:
.\Add-Ins\SaveAsPDFandXPS.exe
Does that work? If my syntax is off, I'm sure you see the principle.

Well, the SaveAsPDFandXPS.exe addon is located in the same folder as setup.exe so I tried without specifying any folders and it did not work [:(]
I'll give a try with your synthax and also with the \. I will let you guys know.
