I found this the other day, and though its mainly for live distros, it was a huge starting point for me... http://multicd.tuxfamily.org/

There are .Net compact installs available: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/aa497273.aspx Its been my experience that the compact versions dont run apps for s***....

Yeah, I'll try and whip up an undo.reg for you. I've had no luck getting any this to work under vista. I get the excel missing .dll error too, default to 2003 didnt work. context menus are there but dont work with 2007. I played with my script and reg entries but still had no luck. I'm suprised the default to 2003 is working for you. Gimmie a day or two for the undo reg. And if anybody has any ideas on how to get this to work for vista, please let me know!

I cant seem to get this working under vista x64. anybody wanna pitch in?

I'll run some more tests on vista x64. I have tested the context menu reg file on vista x64, it works fine. The cmd might need to be changed for x64.... Edit: this script was written primarily for XP x86, i'll update it.

@spacesurfer: it seems they are havin probs with 2003 not 2007.... but I dont have a good answer either.

Here are the 3 files needed: XP 32 BIT ONLY http://www.mediafire.com/file/cdmoyiezzdo/make 03 & 07 play nice.rar drop these files in to C:\Program Files and click install.cmd. This needs to be done for each user profile. I added the missing return Access 2003 to default that was missing. Hope this makes things easier. make_03___07_play_nice.rar

Have you tried making the whole package a SFX with winrar? I was able to shrink mine down by ~100 MB...

try commenting out (!--) everything in your .xml file......

the info in your .msp differs from your config.xml?

I tried merging the installers as you did, but I was not able to get past the product selection either. I seperated out the files again, removed the folders Admin, Catalog, and Rosebud from my new VISIO folder and adjusted my script a little. There may be some super Config.xml file that can do it correctly, but I dont know it....

I'd put all the office install files in a folder named Office, and all the project install files in a folder called Project, and put an install.cmd at the root of the disc similar to this: hope this helps....

Or you could just choose minimize ribbon in the dropdown next to the quicklaunch.....

There is an add-in called Classic Menus for Office 2007, but it's not free.

you can set both of them to "basic" in OCT, and use a simple script to install office then project afterwards....

I've tried, dosent work. Office always complains the file signature is different. Modifype has no effect either.....

dont quote me on this, but i think a themes service has to be enabled first...

i'm trying to lighten my 2007 as well. i can keep things from installing, but can i remove stuff (like groove) to make my installer smaller? i'm using enterprise with OCT. i'm very curious how you got down to 270 MB.....

does any body know the files i need to modify for changing the text/colors in the textmode setup? the ugly blue one that says pick a partition, copying files, etc? thanks... nvm. found it on page 2 here in this thread. thanks orbit30....

i've been trying the same thing. been using BCDW through Nuno's UXP project, which works, but i would perfer to use CDShell. Supposedly they can be used together, but i've had no luck. I'm also trying to add Offline NT Password & Registry Editor to my disc, but that would include multiple isolinux boot options....

do you want to make the SP3 update smaller, or just add it into the addon? MSFN guides has how to do an administrative install to add the SP3 update. doing that, and using this method to make an addon, my final size was around 317 MB....

dosent cdswitch have a script that looks for CD.txt in all drives before continuing? maybe that could be modified.... FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\CD.txt SET CDROM=%%i: cmdow @ /HID @echo off ECHO. ECHO Switch to next disc ECHO Please wait... start /wait cdswitch DSXPV2_D2 %CDROM% ECHO. ECHO Starting WPI ECHO Please wait... start /wait %CDROM%\WPI.hta ECHO. i think if you just edit out the switch disc part, that would work......?
