The new Office 2007 installation process improves support for multiple languages and “slipstreamed” updates. Shown above is part of a customized installation point for Office 2007 Enterprise. The installation point includes a single core product package (the folder Enterprise.WW) that contains the language-independent files of the suite. It also has a series of separate folders with English and Japanese language packages for each major application and component; for example, the folders Excel.en-us and Excel.ja-jp are the English and Japanese language packages for Excel.
The Updates folder holds any patches and service packs that Setup should apply after installation. The administrator’s customizations are stored in two places: a patch file (called DomMinimal.MSP here) in the Updates folder, and the config.xml file in the Enterprise.WW folder.
