processors" This lets users %or$ %ith much lar&er data sets than they could previously( to analy6e and
solve lar&e computational problems" Office 2010 introduces native 345bit versions of Office products to
ta$e advanta&e of the additional capacity provided by 345bit processors" This additional capacity is only
needed by Office users %ho reHuire Microsoft -.cel spreadsheets that are lar&er than 2 ,7( for

'nstaller pac$a&e MS' file#" The chief role of Setup"e.e %as to call 0indo%s 'nstaller Msie.ec"e.e# to
install the pac$a&e" 7ecause Setup passed its command line to 0indo%s 'nstaller( it %as possible to
mana&e the installation process by settin& 0indo%s 'nstaller properties on the command line"
Startin& %ith the 200? Office system release( a sin&le Office product consists of multiple MS' files" This
is the same in the Office 2010 release of the product as the basic Setup architecture has not chan&ed
in this release" Setup K not 0indo%s 'nstaller K combines the lan&ua&e5neutral core product pac$a&e
%ith one or more lan&ua&e5specific pac$a&es to create a complete product" Go individual MS' file
represents a product that anyone can install or use( and Setup is reHuired to assemble the correct set
of MS' files and to coordinate the installation process from start to finish"
The Office product that you install is defined in the =M2 files on the installation point" Setup reads data
in these =M2 files( assembles the reHuired set of MS' files for the product( copies all the necessary files
to the local installation source( and only then calls 0indo%s 'nstaller to complete the installation
process"
Jou cannot use the 0indo%s 'nstaller command line Msie.ec"e.e# to install any product in the
200? Office system release or in Office 2010( nor can you set 0indo%s 'nstaller properties on

Pac$( and then edited the Setup"ini file to chain the M9' Pac$ installation to the primary -n&lish
installation"
The lan&ua&e5neutral architecture that %as introduced in the 200? Office system eliminates the need to
chain lan&ua&e pac$s and condenses the process to a sin&le installation" This also applies to Office
2010 as the lan&ua&e architecture has not chan&ed in this release" After you create your initial net%or$
installation point %hich al%ays includes a core product#( you copy all the additional lan&ua&e folders
that you need to the same location" These lan&ua&e folders contain the lan&ua&e5specific pac$a&es( or

can enable Setup to mana&e the process of assemblin& the correct lan&ua&e version for each user
automatically from the available lan&ua&e options"
0hen users run Setup for a particular Office product( Setup detects that there is more than one
lan&ua&e available and automatically combines the core pac$a&e %ith the lan&ua&e that matches the

O-AT can save each ".ml file to a central shared folder( or you can use System Center Confi&uration

9eLuireents for scanning client coputers
All client computers that run O-AT must have Microsoft "G-T +rame%or$ 2"0 or a later version
installed" 'n addition( each user account that runs O-AT must meet the follo%in& reHuirements:
'f a user runs O-AT from the net%or$( the user:s account must have the follo%in& permissions on
the shared folder %here O-AT"e.e is stored:
%*8S perissions )ead( -.ecute( and 0rite
Shared folder perissions Chan&e and )ead
'f you confi&ure Settin&s".ml to enable passive scannin&( each user account that runs O-AT must
be a member of the Administrators &roup on the local computer" This membership is reHuired so
that the user:s account has permissions to enable auditin& on re&istry $eys for 0ord( Po%erPoint(
-.cel( and Microsoft Outloo$ C2S'< Automation $eys" There are t%o %or$arounds available if you
%ant to run passive scannin& on client computers %here users are not local administrators" +or
more information about these %or$arounds( see Troubleshootin& O-AT errors later in this article"
9eLuireents for anaging OEA*
Administrators run O-AT to confi&ure the Settin&s".ml file and to compile scan results" The computer
from %hich you run O-AT for mana&ement purposes must meet the follo%in& reHuirements:
133
The computer must have access to the 'nternet to do%nload the latest compatibility data from the
'SA Application Compatibility Aisibility Pro&ram"
The follo%in& soft%are must be installed on the computer:
Microsoft "G-T +rame%or$ 2"0 or a later version
200? Office system or Office 2010 for compilin& scan results into an -.cel spreadsheet#

Choose a deplo0ent ethod
The Application compatibility assessment and remediation &uide for Office 2010 provides &uidance for
choosin& %hich client computers to scan" A statistically relevant sample of 20 percent of client
computers in each business unit should be sufficient" As you choose %hich client computers to scan(
you must consider %hether you have a mana&ed environment and %hether you %ant O-AT to run
locally on each client computer or over the net%or$" Or&ani6ations %ill typically choose amon& one of
the follo%in& deployment methods:
Managed deplo0ent 9se System Center Confi&uration Mana&er or Systems Mana&ement
Server to distribute O-AT"e.e and its related files to each client computer" O-AT should be
e.ecuted from the Startup folder or the 0indo%s )un re&istry $ey" Confi&ure Settin&s".ml to
confi&ure O-AT to save the scan results on each client computer and then use System Center
Confi&uration Mana&er or Systems Mana&ement Server to collect all scan results and place them in
a sin&le folder"
Group !olic0 deplo0ent 9se ,roup Policy to deploy O-AT"e.e and its related files to each

OMPM is a collection of tools that enables you to prepare an environment for mi&ration to Microsoft

environment and determine any issues that you mi&ht e.perience convertin& from Office M? to Office
200/ file formats to Office 2010 file formats" OMPM can be a very important part of an Office mi&ration
plan" Jou can use the tools in OMPM to scan Office M? throu&h Office 200/ files for conversion issues(
create reports to help you analy6e the scan data( store the scan data( and convert older Office files into
the Office 2010 file formats" OMPM includes the follo%in& components:
The OMPM +ile Scanner Offscan"e.e#( a command5line tool that scans files for conversion issues
and stores the results in =M2 lo& files in a confi&urable location and( optionally( can bundle these
lo& files into "cab files" The OMPM +ile Scanner performs t%o $inds of scans:
A li&ht scan that Huic$ly identifies the Office documents on a user:s computer or net%or$ file
system"
A deep scan that you can perform on Office documents to cra%l document properties that
provide indicators of potential conversion issues"
+iles from Microsoft Outloo$( Microsoft +rontPa&e( Microsoft OneGote( and Microsoft

#ow the OM!M 8ile Scanner wor3s
The OMPM +ile Scanner collects information about the computer and recursively scans the desi&nated
