Office 2010 pxe installed without outlook

Question

Hello,
we have a image with microsoft office 2010 pro plus. this is installed without outlook (because of zenworks and groupwise)
now we had to install outlook on a certain amount of computers. we tried using the dvd of office where the software on the image is based on and then change the installed packages but this did not show outlook in the menu.
after that we tried removing office and then reinstalling it and this works.
but now the question remains is there a way to install outlook without reinstalling the total package of office?
if you need more info than please let me know.
thanks in advance,
Michel de Boer

Hi,
to modify an existing installation (e.g. to change a feature state from "Absent" to "Local/Installed"),
you can do this several ways;
a) create a customization MSPfile (with OCT) and deploy that:

b) create a customization XMLfile and deploy that:

c) uninstall and reinstall Office
