Cannot start Office 2007 Office Customization Tool
Posted by Gadi Feldman on November 15th, 2006


Hi,

For some reason, i cannot start Office Customization Tool, i'm getting the
following error:

Files necessary to run the Office Customization Tool were not found. Run
Setup from the installation point of a qualifying product.

Any idea?

Hi Gadi,

I had that last night when I tried setting up a share on the Vista computer
I was on.

As soon as I created a share on our server and then ran the installer from a
client, the problem went away.

I need to do some more investigating.

Weird, i've setup a share on XP machine, and trying to run the app from
Vista, but again, without any success.
The bizzare thing is, I'm able to install the office without any problem,
just cannot start the OCT...

Hi Gadi,

If you have the retail edition of MS Office 2007, then you won't be able to use the Office Customization tools. If you have
extracted the Office 2007 product to an Office Network Installation Point (oNIP) and you don't have an \Admin folder there, then
your product isn't an Enterprise media one.
