Silent deployment of office 2016 proofing tools in k2
Hi guys.
I have deployed office 2016 successfully as a post install task in the k2.
I now need to install Office 2016 proofing tools (German only).
I would like to add this as a post install task too.
Now I have seen a few post about how to deploy proofing tools
silently, by configuring The config.xml in the proofkit.ww folder......
But the problem Is they all launch the program by pointing
a path to a config file which is in a folder within a folder.
\setup.exe /config "C:\Users\USERNAME\Desktop\Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 Proofing Tool 15\proofkit.ww\config.xml"
or like TechNet says in their version of proofing tools deployment....
Note that you must use a fully qualified path; for example: \\server\share\Office14\Proof.WW\setup.exe /config \\server\share\Office14\Proof.WW\Config.xml
where Office14 is the root of the network installation point.
My problem is how do I point to this config file when I have zipped
all the files and uploaded to the k2.
Anyone have any idea how to deploy proofing tools as a post install task?

so are you saying I should use this......
"%~dp0setup.exe" /config "%~dp0Config.xml"
in the parameters field of the post install task...?
or could you be a bit more specific - akmagnum 6 years ago -
Thanks @VBScab. finally got it to work after a little fiddling about and comparing it to my office 2013 deployment. this is what worked for me.
"setup.exe" /config "proofkit.ww/config.xml"
The proofing tools has the same file structure as the MS-Office.....so was able to figure it out. - akmagnum 6 years ago
