Question : Install Office Small Business 2007 using .msi file

Experts,
I am trying to install Office Small Business 2007 using a script.  Can someone show me an example of how I could write this script?  I have placed the files on a network share, but I'm not sure where to locate the .msi file. There is a folder that has SmallBusinessWW with an .msi file in here but I cannot get it to work correctly. Most of my users do not have local admin rights so I will need to install this with elevated privileges.  I am a complete novice when it comes to scripting so you may have to break it down a little more than normal…sorry.  Thank You.

Hi smartin0924

You can no longer use msi to setup Office 2007, another one of Microsoft's brilliant moves however you can setup an msp file with all your configurations set, very similar to creating the Office 2003 MST file using the Office 2003 Resource Kit.  The difference this time is that you no longer need the Office Resouce Kit you can use something similar to
setup.exe /admin this will bring up the Office Customisation Wizard. more info here
