In our organization we were not ready to switch to Access 2007 at the same time we were upgrading to Office 2007 so I originally created a package to deploy Office Enterprise 2007 to our company. Months later, we're now ready to upgrade from Access 2003 to Access 2007 but I'm having some issues with the upgrade.
I used the OCT initially and am trying to find a silent way to install just Access 2007 and remove Access 2003 without affecting our users much. I've "almost" got it. Instead of using the OCT again, I'm creating a custom .xml which does get Access 2007 installed but doesn't remove 2003. Is there something I can put in the xml to force uninstall or remove 2003?
Here's what my xml looks like now:
Code:
<Configuration Product="Enterprise">
<Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="yes" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" />
<PIDKEY Value="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" />
<USERNAME Value="User" />
<COMPANYNAME Value="Our Company" />
