Office 2000/XP/2003/2007 Slipstreamer, version 1.5.5 Features: - Creating administrative installation of your Office (Enterprise edition required, limitation created by Microsoft, Retail users - to bypass it, look here); - Slipstreaming service packs into your administrative Office installation; - Slipstreaming hotfixes into your administrative Office installation (Internet connection not required, no any database required); - Creating Chained Installations; - Unblocking Outlook attachments; - Unblocking blocked format in Office 2003 SP3. Supported products: - Microsoft Office 2000 (CD1 and CD2); - Microsoft Office XP; - Microsoft Project 2002; - Microsoft Frontpage 2002; - Microsoft Office 2003: - Microsoft FrontPage 2003; - Microsoft Visio 2003; - Microsoft Project 2003; - Microsoft OneNote 2003; - Microsoft Office 2007. New version is out, version 1.5.5. Read changelog for changes. In this version Office 2007 support is added. This is not real slipstream, Service Packs and hotfixes will be just extracted to Updates folder. Process of slipstreaming is tested with Standard and Enterprise edition. In order to improve support for Office 2007, I need list of files of all Office 2007 editions (except Standard and Enterprise), so when you load your Office 2007 into Slipstreamer, in root folder of the tool will be created file "Office2007FileList.txt". To help me, please upload this file for me. Also, this version provides enhanced product support, which should provide support for every Office product that Microsoft released in year 2002 and 2003. This could also provide support for future service packs (if any). Enhanced database creating will finally solve problems with WU/MU, since I do not need to create database.reg anymore. Everything will be now done automatically, and all info for hotfixes.reg will be written using informations from hotfix you are slipstreaming. List of updates for making your Office 2003 System fully updated [download links included] : Product included on the list: - Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003; - Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003; - Microsoft Office OneNote 2003; - Microsoft Office Project Professional 2003; - Microsoft Office Visio Professional 2003. If you have some problem, or you found bug, please post log when asking/reporting. If your Antivirus detects Office Slipstreamer as malware, that is false positive. More info also here.

Cheers

Thanks for database, and you contribution is not only for professional edition, it is for all Office 2003 editions. Cheers

Do you have the latest build of SP3, because I think that build 3311 and earlier have problem with sound, but that should be fixed in this new build. The latest build is 5508. Make sure that you have this one. Cheers

OK, now we know what is the problem. And I think that I can not do anything about that. You will need to correct database for yourself. The good thing is that this is not happening with all updates. Cheers

Congrats on new version. I was just making my new XP disk with Vista Look and this version was right on time. Cheers

And where did you downloaded WMP11 for Vista??? Since WMP11 is built in Windows Vista, you can not download it anywhere! Only what you can do is make new ISO and reinstall Vista. Cheers

Some add-in is probably the problem. Start Outlook in safe mode and disable add-in's one by one until you find which causes the problem. Cheers ;

Lions, I just done fresh slipstream with all available hotfixes, and KB943649 does not show on WU/MU. I can not test KB943452 because my Office is not affected. Only what you can do is install that updates from WU/MU and export for me only registry info for those two updates so I can see is there any difference between my database and those your''ll export. And I know about "DisplayName" in KB943452, but that is not a problem. Cheers

Thank you both for helping. @Lions I'm not 100% sure but I think I know what caused that crash. I'll try to do something to prevent that. Also, I hope you used correct LCID Hex, which is 0410 for your language. Also, please post your results with WU/MU when you finish testings. Cheers

@schakan Thanks for helping, but you entered wrong value. You need to enter LCID Hex value, NOT LCID Dec. So correct value for your language is 041d. Cheers

Thanks for the info Lions. For me, KB945432 works fine. Can you please try once more, so we can check if always fail on that update? And I know about Windows Installer windows, I forgot again to hide it. Cheers

Did you entered LCID Hex for your language before starting slipstream. Can you upload for me hotfixes.reg from FILE/SETUP. And is your Windows on Swedish too (or you used MUI pack to get Swedish language for XP. If this is true, then original language of your XP is english, right?)? I'm sorry for bothering you, but I need your help to solve this problems.

Thanks for the explaining. Now, this thing with pop-ups is where strange and it was not my intention. This does not show for me when slipstreaming. Did this happen with any previous version? Also this can be because Windows XP protection. Open Properties of every hotfix and see if there is button "Unblock". If button exist click on it. And, I'm investigating this chained install thing. It seems that problem exist, I just need to find why is happening. Regular Place for hotfixes for English Language is [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\9040110900063D11C8EF10054038389C\Patches and for your it should be here: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\d140110900063D11C8EF10054038389C\Patches Cheers

@schakan Thanks you for testing. Can you please explain few stuffs? Is adding Chained Installation successful in Office Slipstreamer but nothing is installed after Office installation? Can you upload your .ini file from FILES/SETUP from installation where chained installation does not work? And what about this pop-up's. Can you do one more slipstream and take a screen shoot of that pop-up? Thanks. Cheers EDIT: Also, did you test your installation with Windows Update? Does any update appear?

Version 1.5 Beta 3 is out. Read changelog for changes. @schakan Can you please test again? Cheers

Version 1.5 Beta 2 is out. Read history for changes. @schakan Thanks for language update. Can you and Lions test new version and post your results? If you get an error again, please post your log. Cheers

Hi, Thank you for all informations. I already found a problem and I'm fixing it now. Also I found one problem with option "Remember Admin Location". So If I manage to fix both problems today, new beta will be out tonight. Cheers

For the first issue: Open Properties of your burner, go ti Recording tab and make sure that option that enables recording is checked. Second issue: You need to use some ripping software to copy your songs to computer. You can use Windows Media Player for example. Cheers

I'm glad that you solved your problem. Cheers

OK, thanks Tolek81. Version 1.5 Beta 1 is out. Read history for changes. Enjoy! Cheers

Thanks for translation. And what is wrong with my Label strings. And this function, did you write it in AutoIt? Because if you did, something is wrong with it. Cheers

Implementing this patch would be great. I'm having a lot of issues with this Event, since I pretty use torrents. And when problem appear, I can not use Web Browser any more, it can not open any page, and only solution is Computer restart which is very annoying since this event appears very often. Cheers

Yes, that is the issue. Please be patient, new version will be probably out in couple of hours. I'm doing some final tests. Cheers

If you used my Slipstreamer everything should work. At the end of slipstream, Slipstreamer will offer you to choose .reg keys, and you need to select .reg file which correspond to your language of Office (NOT Wndows nor MUI language of your office, original language). And you need to use setup_h.exe to launch installation. Just to mention that this is a bug with WU/MU. Or you can wait a little, I'm publishing new version today, or tomorrow which will make this thing a lot of easier. Cheers

This is not a bug. Once you disable SFC, you can not re-enable or disable it again on that same disk. Because of that nLite disable that option. Cheers
