MDT2013 - How to deploy Office365 Click-to-Run in Applications?

Question

I used the Office Deployment Tool to create a click-to-run setup to install Office 365 Pro Plus Retail.  This works well if I map the network share, and run it with: setup.exe /configure configuration.xml.  Unfortunately, I can't seem to get this
to work if I create a new Application in my Deployment Share.  Is there a way to do this through MDT 2013?  Can you please explain how to do this?  I'm an MDT newbie :)
Thank you!

Hi,
From
stackoverflow.com
Let's dissect it. There are three parts:
cd --
This is change directory command.
/d --
This switch makes cd change
both drive and directory at once. Without it you would have to do cd
%~d0 & cd %~p0.
%~dp0 --
This can be dissected further into three parts:
%0 --
This represents zeroth parameter of your batch script. It expands into the name of the batch file itself.
%~0 --
The ~ there
strips double quotes (")
around the expanded argument.
%dp0 --
The d and p there
are modifiers of the expansion. The d forces
addition of a drive letter and the p adds
full path.
So basically it represents the full path to the location from where the script is executed, without having to use the full path like you did. Your script creates a dependency with that specific server or IP address, so whenever the location changes, you'll
need to modify your script. While using the %~DP0 represents the full path.
Also I would not recommend removing the temp directory immediately in the same script but do a cleanup action with another commandline or script afterwards. Reason for this is that the installation of Office-365 takes time, and you don't want to have the
directory removed due to execution of the script, when Office-365 is still installing.
Not having the rmdir in your script forces MDT to wait for the completion of the Office-365 installation, according to my experience.
Cheers!
