From john.wolf at tm.com Mon Jun 15 09:19:26 2009 From: john.wolf at tm.com (Wolf, John) Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2009 11:19:26 -0500 Subject: [Composer] Resource forks lost Message-ID: I tried searching the list archives, but apparently they are not indexed... I have found that if I use Composer 7 on 10.5 to build a package that will be used for both 10.4 and 10.5, that resource forks are lost when the package is installed on 10.4. If the package is installed on 10.5 the resource forks are there. (For example, the TTF fonts that are installed with Office 2008 contain a number of resource fork fonts.) My ugly solution has been to tar the files with resource forks, and use the postinstall script to untar them and delete the .tar file. Is there any other solution to this? Do I HAVE to build the package in 10.4? (Not really an option.)

I then created a package where I attempted to capture the Office preferences. Specifically, I want to use the old .doc, .xls, .ppt file types. The problem is that when I run the preferences .dmg when imaging a new machine it doesn't change the preferences. Office still uses the newer .docx file type. However, when I run the .dmg in self service, it does change the preferences. I'm thinking the reason it doesn't work when imaging a new machine has something to do with the Office setup assistant that runs the first time you open one of the office apps. Does anyone know of a way to set the Office 2008 preferences when imaging a new machine?

Does anyone know of a way to set the Office 2008 > preferences when imaging a new machine? Have a look at this blog post by Greg Neagle . You can use the Managed Preferences in Casper 7.0 Suite to handle the file types using the MCX settings he references. To prevent the Office Setup Assistant will require that you also pre-populate the Microsoft User Data folder in each user's folder as well as pre-configure (just copy) a com.microsoft.office preference file.

You may need to do a snapshot rather than a pre- installed package. When you do the snapshot, I know Composer will ask you if you wish to capture the User Directory files for deployment. -- Ted August Salve Regina University On Jun 30, 2009, at 2:17 PM, Cody Smedsrud wrote: > Hello, > > I created a .dmg for Microsoft Office 2008 in Composer using the > preinstalled software configuration.
