Office Communicator 2007 R2 Install

 

What you need:

1. You do have Outlook installed, yes?
2. Communicator.msi – get this from your network administrator.  This is licensed software.  Referred to in some circles as “MOC”
3. .Net 3.5 SP1 with an update.  The update to .Net 3.5 SP1 is operating system specific.  Get the update here (MS KB959209).  Get .Net 3.5 SP1 here.
4. MS KB936864 (Office 2007) or Office 2007 SP1.  Here is the link to the hotfix, you are on your own for the Office 2007 SP1.
5. ConfAddins_Setup Get it here.  This allows Outlook to function with live meeting scheduling.
6. LMSetup Get it here.  Live Meeting client.  What will you do without it?
7. MS XML 6 SP1. This install is operating system specific. Get it here. 

Ok, let us get started.

1. Sign out of, and exit both Office Communicator 2007 (or LCS 2005), and Outlook.  The MOC installer wants them closed. YMMV.
2. Install the .Net 3.5 SP1, followed by the update from MS KB959209.
3. Install the MS XML 6 SP1.
4. Ensure that you are either Office 2007 SP1 or have the hotfix as mentioned above (MS KB936864).
5. Execute the Communicator.msi.  This will uninstall what is already there and install itself whilst retaining all settings.
6. Execute ConfAddins_setup.exe. This will uninstall what is already there and install itself whilst retaining all settings.
7. Execute LMSETUP.exe.  This will uninstall what is already there and install itself whilst retaining all settings.
