I need to customize installations of Microsoft Office 2010 and was told that I need to use an "OCT" file. What is an OCT file? Could someone show me an example of using one?


Solution 1:

An Office Customization Tool [OCT] file is created using a command line option of the Office installer. It is executed using setup.exe /admin -- This tool will generate a .MSP file containing your customizations. You can apply this .MSP file using setup /adminfile customfile.msp or by placing the customfile.msp in the Udpates directory in the root of your Office install media.
