Great tutorial. I did accordingly and it worked. Thank you.
This was good. One thing you did not specify is the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit. Use 32 bit if the clients are using 32 bit office.
Fantastic tutorial, have now managed to add the ADMX files.
One other thing (apart from Tyler!) is to make sure the ADML files are also copied across. Microsoft have now bundled them together and they don’t work separately
What if you have clients running both 32 and 64 bit Office applications? When extracting the files they appear to have the same exact names so it would seems that if you installed the 32 bit files and then the 64 bit files, you would overwrite the 32 bit files.
