Repackage Office Professional 2010 SP1
Dear All,
I am seeking for a best practice on how-to repackage MS Office Pro 2010 SP1 using adminStudio 2013.
Your support is very much appreciated ;-)
Kind regards,
Alex
Use the "Office Customization Tool" from Microsoft:

Wow ... never repackage a vendors MSI ... especially not MS Office.

Many thanks for your prompt reply Mistral.
I have a volume licensed versions of Office 2010 that I need to customize before repackaging it, for that as you suggested, I cutumized it with OCT and generate the .msp which I then added under the "Updates" folder. For your information, I did not find the windows installer MSI file, I only found the setup.exe. That is why I thought of using the adminStudio 2013 to repackage it along with the .msp I generated using the OCT.
Setup.exe is what we call a bootstrapper.
Do not repackage it, do not transform it (Using other tools than OCT).
Office is very special and even using XML-Files during installation to "transform".
The MSIs (lots of them) are encapsulated and extracted during installation (to temporary folders and C:\MSOcache).
