[Technic] help with office 07 install

Good morning.... kinda.

Working here to deploy Office 2007, and in doing so I found the nifty 
built-in utility (setup.exe /admin) that allows you to build an MSP file, 
which can be disributed for install on workstations, and distributed it that 
way.  UNFORTUNATELY (and I will admit that in all likelihood I screwed it 
up), a fairly important portion of the install was left off.

Now I would like to find a way to package an MSI file or something so I can 
distribute that one piece of the install (I'll say it - spellcheck was 
omitted) without having to visit every computer.  The nifty built-in utility 
can only be used for the initial install, not a subsequent add/remove of 
components.  So, does anyone have a suggestion as to how best to do this? 
If I can get it in an MSI file, I think I can send it out via group policies 
on our domain, but I can't do that till I have an MSI file....

Thanks in advance.

Andy
