I have a GPO that works fine for installing Office 2007 Pro Plus on Vista and XP but when it installs Office on Windows 7 somehow the office key does not get entered via the customized msp, and needs to be entered manually. Has anyone else run into this? Any suggestions for a fix? Its defeats the purpose of remote unattended install if I then have to run around entering the stupid key.
edit: I am sorry I should have specified I also have the config.xml file customized already. I have it set to display level none, completion no, suppress modal to yes accept eula to yes, the key put in and the company name and the username variable (%USERNAME%).

I tought the deploy was supposed to run with the config.xml?
Anyways, I am running it with xml in our GPO deploy and it works flawlessly for xp/vista/win7. We also ad swedish language support cuz we want it:)
put the folowing xml in config.xml in the ProPlus.WW folder, the run from the gpo:
\server\share\Office12\ProPlus.WW\ProPlus.msi
Im sorry this is not an answer to your question, tough it should work as a workaround for you. Ps. if you want the installer to run compleately silent use the display level="none" instead of basic. Basic only gives you a progressbar.. ds.
