4 – Inside your CONFIG.XML file (using my example file) add your personnal values: key, Full name, company

5 – Set inside C:\OFFICE folder the files you need: 7zsd.sfx, config.bat and config.txt for your Microsoft Office 2007 product (Enterprise or Standard Edition)!

6 – Download and extract SP3 for Microsoft Office 2007 with /extract switch to C:\OFFICE\UPDATES folder

7 – Create an Archive Office12.7z with 7zip (don’t forget to select the options for 7z and lzma or more inside the program)

8 – Select all files insde C:\OFFICE exept: 7zsd.sfx, config.bat and config.txt. Right click and select 7zip: Add to the archive…

9 – Name the Archive: Office12.7z and select options:

Create an archive with 7zip:

– Rename the file as Office12.7z inside 7zip
– Format: 7z
– Select: Compression level: Ultra
– Compression method: LZMA
– Dictionnary size: 64MB
– Word size: 64
– And OK

… Wait, because some time is needed…

10 – Once done, launch the config.bat file

11 – Your Microsoft Office 2007 SP3 (Office12.exe) is now created and fully unattended whithout switches.

12 – You can use your Office12.exe with a program like WPI, for example…

If Office 2007 is already installed on your computer and updated with SP3, you can use a vbs script to download the SP3 file on the temp\Updates folder.

Because Office service packs are cumulative, you do not have to install Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2 before you install Service Pack 3. Service Pack 3 includes all fixes which were included in Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2.
