Sequencing Office 2007 with Softgrid

Who knows the one of the main steps till the application's publish is the sequencing phase? In simple words, sequencing is the taks of monitoring, capturing and create the project of one app so that the same can be distributed in a virtualized way by Softgrid. What I'm about to post today is how to sequence Office 2007 with some details for the pt-PT version. These are the steps and best practices to do it.

Step 1: Be aware of all the possible problems that you can face distributing virtualized apps to desktops or servers with Operating System with a different language pack.

Step 2: Be aware of the best practices of sequencing. They must be applied for any app, not only for Office 2007.

Step 3: Know how to customize the instalation of Office 2007 so that the sequencing occurs with success.

Passo 4: See how you should procede during the sequencing of Office 2007.

Probably for the US-English version, those steps should be enough.

But for the pt-PT version of Office 2007, we have to do some adjustments on the OSD archives for each product that may present some problems in their publishment. How to do that?

Step A: If some Office 2007 app was not correctly published (the icon didn't appear in the desktop or start menu), check the archive SFTLOG.TXT (Ex. %ProgramFiles%\Softricity\Softgrid).

Step B: Look for flaws in the construction of the OSD (XML Parsing Failure) of the app that was not published with success. The error code is useful to find a solution.

Step C: The flaws caused but invalid characters in the OSD archive or not supporting codification of the archive can be adjusted only by the edition of the OSD archive of the app with problems.

Note: For the error 00E01005-00000016, try the procedure KB931245 before any other.

Please let me know if this was useful for you.
