Install Microsoft Office 2013 with a scripted install in Kace
I have done some research and running a command like "msiexec /i setup /q" does not seem to work.
I have the proper .msp file created, so in theory this should work.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong.
Thanks in advance.

The rollout of a packaged version is trivial:
"setup.exe /adminfile setup.msp"
EDIT:
This is also assuming that you created the .msp file using the command setup.exe /adminfile
Download the Office 2013 ISO. Install virtualclone drive (free) to mount the ISO. You have to copy the Office viewable iso filesto a folder because you’re going to write a customized file from that location. Copy the officecustomization tool (admintemplates_64bit) into the same folder. Run the admintemplates_64 and put the filesin the same folder.
From command promptas admin run the customization tool. Then from a dos prompt as administrator run setup.exe /admin. Choose Create A New Setup CustomizationFile. Choose to enter your license key or kms info. Accept the terms check box. Display level – NONE. Choose NO Cancel. Save the .msp in the folder. name it whatever.MSP
Kace cannot upload more than one file to a library. Zip all the files in the directory includingthe whatever.msp.
I was able to create and push installation via K1000 but I had problem to activate the Office with our E3 O365 license.
When I check
cscript.exe "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\ospp.vbs" /dstatus
I see

But still can not activate it with my E3 subscription office 365 account :(
When I tried to create .MPS file with Microsoft Office Customization Tool I was not able to save the file when Product key was empty for "Enter another product key"
MPS file I created was saved under [Licensing and user interface] with "Use KMS client key" option
Do you know any solution how to how to prepare that installation for E3 licensed Office 365 ?
Thanks
