hi!

I tried to deploy officeXP on one of my testing PC(OU level) usiing the proplus.msi which i copied the entire contents from the officexp CD and shared that folder.
I'm using computer config's software installation(assign) to push the offiiceXP to that client.The result is that i can see the message "Installing mangaed software microsoft office XP Pro with frontpage after restarting the PC, but when i've logon to windows nothing happened. I go to the add/remove program there's nothing there for me to install also. Any extra steps that i need to deploy officexp through GPO's OU level? Thks in advance!

Regards
David
