Can you install Office 2007 PIA's without office

First of all, my question is not quite the same as

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/370407/is-office-2007-pia-deployment-possible-without-office-2007

I am not looking to use the PIA's yet. The IT engineers would ideally like to deploy the 2007 PIA's to everyone's computers before they upgrade Office 2007. This way there is fewer things that have to go right all at once. I am wondering if this is possible

No it is not possible. The Office PIA's require the correct version of Office to be installed first.

You can deploy application with PIA and haven't office installed. Office capability can not be used of course, but if you install office later, it will run ok.

My best experience is deploing PIA with your application/add-in, because there are some awkward factors, which can be solved by this way.

If you will not register them to GAC, and tehy will stay in directory of you application/add-in you will not affect nothing else.

Yes, it's possible, we ended up doing it and it worked fine.

I don't think installing PIA without office would have any effect, the PIACheck does not return the component ID for Word, etc. Only basic components will be installed, like SmartTag.So you need to install PIA again after Office is installed.

Check answer of http://stackoverflow.com/questions/370407/is-office-2007-pia-deployment-possible-without-office-2007 "PIA's can do nothing w/o Office." So, I think your answer is wrong.

@Priyank Bolia As mentioned in my question, I have already looked at that question. My question is not "Will PIA work without Office?", it's "Can I install PIA, then install Office 07, and have it work?". As mention, we ended up installing the PIA's before Office and it it currently working fine. Given this fact, I am confused as to why you think I am wrong.

I don't know, but as I told in earlier post, installing PIA without installing Office had no effect for me. The PIACheck does not return the component ID for Word, which according to me, means that, the PIA is not installed properly.
