Had something that I expected to be simple, but Mr. Murphy and his law
have struck again.
Attempting to build a fairly vanilla MS Office 2008 package - the only
"customization" I want to make is to either remove the Microsoft
Messenger component, or simply change the default "enabled" status to
disabled so that I can push the installer out via ARD and not have
Messenger installed.
I'm able to open the package from my installer CD in PackageMaker, make
the changes, and build a new package successfully. However, when I try
to actually run the new package, I first notice that all of Microsoft's
custom artwork is missing from the installer itself, and then once I get
to the "Select Destination" stage, all disk volumes are unavailable,
with the message simply stating "You cannot install Microsoft Office
20087 for Mac on this volume. Installation cannot proceed, as not all
requirements were met".
Test machine is a quad-core Mac Pro, 8gb RAM, with 500+ gb free disk
space... certainly meets the hardware requirements for Office.
Anyone know why making one simple change is causing this to break? I
don't have Composer or anything else at my disposal, so my choices are
either modify the default package, or move on to building the package by
hand. :(
thanks,
Taylor
