Project 2007 install with KBOX

Has anyone deployed and silently installed Microsoft Project 2007 using the KBox? I was able to customize the MSP and zipped the files and successfully distributed the files to the client machine but I can't get the setup to run it briefly puts up a screen saying it's installing but nothing is installed and I don't have any errors that I can see.

Can you post the log file created by your MSI?

I don't have one that I can see. Do you know what command I should use? I tried running the setup.exe and the MSP and now I am trying the PjProWW.MSI and getting a Windows Installer error "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer" I could be totally doing the wrong thing I am new to the software installs on KBox.

See if this link helps any: http://blogs.technet.com/b/office_resource_kit/archive/2009/01/29/configure-a-silent-install-of-the-2007-office-system-with-config-xml.aspx

It's not directly related to pushing it from the KBOX but the theories should be just about the same.

I think your command line would looks something like: setup.exe /config config.xml or setup.exe /adminfile whatever.MSP /config config.xml if you're using the MSP.

I have used those commands and the Setup Controller Command Lines box keeps popping up on the client after the files unzip. There are no error in the log but the install is not running

In Distribution, under Managed Installations:

For Project 2007, you need to "configure manually" otherwise it won't. It's stupid, but it works.

Thanks Londeaux I am using the Configure Manually and nothing is working I can't figure out if something is not right with the MSP file or what. I have tried using the config as well and still it won't work.
