I have been stuggling with OCT for about 5 days now.  I think I finally have the Config.xml working correctly.  It's finally installing Lync.  But now XML Handler is not working.  Using OCT I am installing everything except Acess, Publisher, and the Office Download Control under Shared features.  After the install, I get file association error attempting to open the config.xml file.  Same error when I right click on the Config file and try to open it using the XML Handler.  Any ideas

Here is my Config.xml file:

<Configuration Product="ProPlus">

 <!-- <Display Level="full" CompletionNotice="yes" SuppressModal="no" AcceptEula="no" /> -->
 
 <!-- <Logging Type="standard" Path="%temp%" Template="Microsoft Office Professional Plus Setup(*).txt" /> -->

 <!-- <PIDKEY Value="XXX" /> -->

 <!-- <USERNAME Value="Customer" /> -->
 
 <!-- <COMPANYNAME Value="MyCompany" /> -->
 
 <!-- <INSTALLLOCATION Value="%programfiles%\Microsoft Office" /> -->
 
 <!-- <LIS CACHEACTION="CacheOnly" /> -->
 
 <!-- <SOURCELIST="\\server1\ share\Office15;\\server2\share\Office15" /> -->
 
 <!-- <DistributionPoint Location="\\server\share\Office15" /> -->

 <!-- <OptionState Id="LyncCoreFiles" State="absent" Children="force" /> -->

 <!-- <OptionState Id="OptionID" State="absent" Children="force" /> -->
 
 <!-- <Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="Never" /> -->

 

 <!-- <Setting Id="AUTO_ACTIVATE" Value="1" /> -->

 <!-- <Command Path="msiexec.exe" Args="/i \\server\share\my.msi" QuietArg="/q" ChainPosition="after" Execute="install" /> -->

</Configuration>

Hi,

This issue is caused by the multiple Office installed side by side, the default program associated was broken. Please try the method and check if it is helpful:

===

1. Open My Computer and go to C->Windows
2. Find regedit.exe, right-click and choose Run As Administrator. This will open the registry editor

Be careful to only change what is listed below from this point forward. Any other changes to the registry could potentially screw up the computer and require an OS restore.

3. In the left-hand pane, navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT->exefile->shell->open->command. In my case the
command key wasn't there so I had to create it. If you are missing command, right-click open, select New Key, then type command there. This will create the command sub-key for you to click on.

4. In the right-hand pane, double click on (Default) that is listed inside command

5. Change the Value data field to "%1" %* exactly like that. To be clear that is quote then percent then
1 then quote then space then percent then asterisk

6. Click OK

===

Or you might remove Office 2007. (PS: Ensure you have backup of Office 2007 installation copy and product key)

Thank you for your continued support.  That entry is already there.  I don't have to edit it at all.

Any more thoughts.  I'm holding off upgrading to Office2013 until I can fix this.
