Client 9.1.1.584 - Prevent Office Integration During Unattended Installation

Laserfiche Version 9 Installation and Upgrades
Updated August 6, 2015
asked on August 6, 2015 • Show version history

We had a group of five test computers which were upgraded to Client 9.1.1.584 from Client 8.2.  At that time the Office integration component was included in the unattended install build.

Testing indicated that the Office integration component was interfering with an existing program, so Laserfiche was manually uninstalled from these five computers.  Then it was reinstalled using the following unattended build:

"Client\Setup.exe" -silent -log "C:\Logs\ClientInstall" LFCADDLOCAL=ALL INSTALLOCR=1 LFSSADDLOCAL=ALL LFSCADDLOCAL=ALL LANGPACK="en" LFCDESKTOPSHORTCUTS=1

After reinstallation, two computers did not have the Office integration component--while the other three did have Office integration (determined by whether the "LASERFICHE" menu showed up in Word, Excel, and Outlook).

Any idea what could possibly have caused this?  We would like to modify the build to insure that the Office integration component is NOT installed.

The method that you used should be fine, as should the command line itself. InstallLevel is usually the best approach, but it has Office pretty early up so what Chad put works as an alternative. Office shouldn't be on based on your provided command, is it possible it didn't actually get uninstalled fully (maybe office itself was open between the uninstall and install?) 

Note that if you really want to ensure Office doesn't get installed, just temporarily remove the Office msi/cab from the install directory. It's cheating a bit, but should also work.
