<div>
Are the installation files in EXE or MSI format?<br />
<br />
If they are in MSI you can deploy the program to computers and it will install automagically.<br />
<br />
If they are in EXE you can only publish the program and the user will be able to access it via the add remove programs menu.<br />
<br />
Or you could put it on a network share and then use PSexec to execute the install file (hopefully it has a silent mode) remotely on all the computers.<br />
<br />
So... MSI or EXE? 
</div>


<div>
The file that I am able to find is an EXE. &nbsp;Todd's post references an MSI file for the SaveasPDF plugin. &nbsp;Could someone link me there?<br />
<br />
If I were to publish the EXE, would that allow non local admins to install the software?
</div>


<div>
Install the exe that you downloaded on one machine and then browse to C:\Program Files\MSECache\ExPdfXps\10<wbr />33 and pick up your MSI file...

Thanks for the help guys... &nbsp;split points between the two most complete answers

I'd like to add the ability for about 40 workstations on a Server 2003 domain that are already installed with Office 2007 to save files as PDFs. &nbsp;I know Microsoft has a plugin that does this, as well as CutePDF etc, but the main problem is deploying the software out.<br />
<br />
What would be the easiest way to add this capability for these workstations? &nbsp;Is it possible to deploy the Microsoft plugin via GPO?

Office Productivity refers both to the act of being productive and efficient in an office or professional environment, as well as the software applications used to "produce" information. This includes the development of professional skills, creating work processes, and almost any program used to create or modify a document, image, audio or video clip. However, business application suites such as Microsoft Office, which include word processing, spreadsheet and presentation programs, are typically called productivity software, as contrasted with a "utility program," such as a file manager, which is used to organize files and folders on the computer. Many office- and business-oriented groups of programs are organized into suites.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Windows Server 2003

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.
