The Workshare setup is comprised of KB's, MSI's, and a couple of setups. Extract these and use the command lines and install order stated in the setup.ini (listed below for your easy viewing).
("default MSI" means REBOOT=ReallySuppress, ALLUSERS=1)
Things must install in this order:
DOTNET_KB908002_2
Use default msi
OFF03_KB907417
office2003-kb907417.exe /quiet
OFF07_KB935514
office07-kb935514.exe /quiet
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redist
Use default MSI
DotNET 3
dotnetfx3.exe /q /norestart
Microsoft Report Viewer
reportviewer.exe /q:u /c:"install /q /l"
There is other way also for deploying Workshare Professional using extracted contents of Executable:
Files which are extracted thru WINRAR(Winzip doesn't work here)also include :
* Workshare.InstallWizard.exe
* Workshare.InstallWizard.ini
Which can be used for silent install:
1. Create a shared directory with relevant permissions so that client machines can access the Workshare Professional executable during the installation.
2. Copy the self-extracting executable to the shared directory.
3. Run the executable on the client desktop. This will extract the files to the client and run the
Install Wizard on the client machine. Parameters passed to the self-extracting executable are
passed on to the Install Wizard. The command line is:
<path to Workshare.InstallWizard.exe> -product âWorkshare
Professionalâ [-autorun] [-silent]
In case cutomization need to be done other then default installtion it is further explained in Installtion PDF..download from here (page nom 112)

Workshare Professinal 5.23.9800.800 still doesn't support UAC so if you have problems with Installation and you can turn UAC off you really should do this.
EDIT: Workshare Professional 5.23.9800.2400 Supports UAC on Windows 7 but not in Vista... really.
Also remember to run the (c:\Program Files\Workshare\Modules\)WMConfigAssistant.exe after the installation (this is not optional) the ConfigAssistant writes everywhere, for more information go check the www.workshare.com / support / knowledgebase and you can find out what wmconfigassistant really does. I also recommend that you run the wmconfigass. Only after the first logon to the targeted computer pref. at least with local admin rights. We tried to run the configass. as a separate task sequence program while Workstation Installation sequence but with bad results. Only way the Installation (with our custom settings and all that) went as it should have, was that after the installation we ran the "post_installtion.bat" that had the correct command line to run the wmconfigassistant. After you do this you can login the users and the default config should be passed to users.
Click the features you want to use. Then click apply.
Then open Word or Excel or whatever to gain access to Workshare Ribbon In there access Options and Workshare application Configuration, Select "Save Configuration file". save the inifile and you can useit on your installation.
