OCT fails on Office 2010

16 10 2010

Are you getting this error message when trying to run OCT on Office 2010? 

"Files necessary to run the Office Customization Tool were not found. Run Setup from the installation point of a qualifying product".

I went to configure the OCT for Office 2010 and came to realize there wasn’t an Admin folder along with the installation files which makes it tough to run OCT! I found this link to a MS webpage where you can download the OCT files and adm/admx templates for the installation.

Download the version you need (either x86 or x64) and run the executable.  The exe will extract the files and you can cop the admin folder into the Office installation directory and away you go.
