Office Customization tool not visible in Microsoft Deployment Toolkit

When you don't see the button "Office Customization Tool" in the "Office Products" tab for an office application in the Deployment Workbench, then it could be that you don't have the admin folder in the source directory of your application.
My installation source for Office Ultimate didn't have the button. When I continued adding applications I noticed that my Sharepoint Designer 2007 did have this button, I compared the installation directories and noticed the missing admin folder. I noticed that in this admin folder where not only files for the sharepoint designer but also for the other 2007 products. When I copied this directory to the other directories i saw the "Office Customization Tool" button. No need to recreate the package.
