    Office 2007 currently installed on Win7 x64 upgrading to 2010

    I have Office 2007 currently installed on Win7 x64.

    If i wanted to upgrade to to Office 2010 and test your ToolKit....

    What is the best/cleanest method to Upgrade?
    (uninstall/install, or just Upgrade....)

    What is the best verison of Office 2010 to install?
    (ie will this cut it?: Microsoft.Office.2010.ProfessionalPlus.VL.Edition.x86.and.x64-ZWTiSO
    or is it better to test with another build? )


    Also i see a new release 2.1 comming out very soon, should I wait?

    Thanks for your time and input!!!

    Ok, the best way is to completely uninstall Office 2007, and then install 2010.
    About Office version, ProPlus has everything, but for example: I just install Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook because that's all I need.

    After you install Office 2010 you just run the Toolkit and use the EZ-Activator button. Remember that your Antiviruts may detect AutoKMS.exe or KMSEmulator.exe as false positivies virus, but don't worry, those files are fine.

    To everyone:

    I was wondering on the need of a silent switch and I think I see 2 main purposes for wanting a silent switch:

    1. You want to sell Office and you charge a fee for the "Activated but not original" Office.
    2. You actually sell Office as original.

    I'm considering if the silent switch is really needed, or if it's just to contribute scammers, so I was thinking in an "execution switch" instead of a silent switch, it would be the same but it will let the user know that it's not a legitime software. Any thoughts about this are welcome :)

    This is an interesting point. I agree with you -a "silent switch" only serves to fool other people, not the person who implements the switch. Full automation is a worthy goal, but having the user oblivious as to what's happening will just provide opportunities for scams.

    Well a popup could be added like Daz loader but that could be annoying and patched out by someone determined enough. Basically right now it does silent and while we could show the toolkit, it would be likely the window could be hidden somehow.

    I would say use the execution switch but then again, people would do a lot for money (hack the message away)

    Imo don't even consider adding such switch. It is not really needed, so don't bother. Don't waste your energy on that. It's like Bosh was saying.

    I can give you another reason (why I want the "execution switch"):

    3. You want to create an unattended dvd/usb stick to install windows, office etc automatically with minimum user input required. This way you can install it on your laptop, pc, htpc, your mothers pc, your fathers laptop and the girlfriends laptop. Only configure it once and you won't have to sit by your pc and do the same again.

    Ofcourse people should definitely know they are not using original-legitime software. Nothing is for free and I do not want to give that impression. So an execution switch would be nice.

    I also agree with LQQL but in a different way: don't waste time and energy, basta! :)

    But the thing is that if we do all of this to "test Office until we can buy a license" (quoting timesurfer), it's part of our responsability as developers not to allow scamming with our tools isn't it? That's why I mentioned the execution switch, I can work on that also.

    I think showing a fade popup that looks like the one when you open mini-kms would be nice that states its not legit, until it finishes.

    If you open minikms it has a fade prompt so something like that. This would show regardless of whether or not output was sent to console, console window hidden, or output sent to log.

    The Daz loader shows a popup until its done when integrating it into a disc so that's what I'm referring to. I kinda like the fade style the mini-kms does, keeping in mind EZ-Activator at its quickest takes some time, enough for something like that.

    The best way would be using an anti virus that does what you're telling it to do. If you add the exception and the antivirus erase it, it's antivirus fault.
    Anyway, I always recomend using Avira AntiVir Free
