Hi,

I have a problem, i cant deploy Office 2013 to Windows 8, the laptop is in the network, but on PDQ Deploy the status from Computer Deploy block (RUNNING) and the run time goes to 24h, then i give up.

I already install the same Office 2013 in a laptop with Windows 7, and works perfectly, the elapse time was about 10 min.

Can you help me??

PS. Sorry my English

Hi,

I want to make sure we understand... you can deploy Office 2013 successfully to Windows 7 but deploying this same package to Windows 8 causes the deployment to "hang". Is that correct?

Did you use the Office Customization Tool (OCT) to create an MSP file?

If that is correct then chances are that all or part of Office 2013 is already installed on this Windows 8 computer. Is that the case? If that is the case AND you are using the OCT then your deployment would hang. The OCT cannot be used to install or add components for 2013 if any part of 2013 already exists.
