I still don't get it. It provide function such as comparing and Checking file version. But if it is for Unattended Windows Install then it will be the same every time you install it. Since the system is clean. It has the options to add your Application into the list and Add user account. But at what time does WIHU runs?

Does any one know how to apple the WinRAR GUI patch sliently? With the patch installation creteria not to have Intergation into Shell. But most of us would want the patch as well as INtergate into shell as well. So are there any way to, disable Intergration into shell when slient install WinRAR. Then Slient apply patch. Then Sliently Reenable the intergation into shell. Any ideas?

i downloaded it and when i clicked on it it allow me to create a new User account and have things to install etc..... But how is this unattend if i have to input details. I still don't see the advantage of this than standard cmd. Please give me a scenerio.

I need a software similar. I look through the recent Total Copy topic. Copy Expert Provide CRC32 checking but the website is unavalible. I need one of this because i want to transfer about 10Gb of files. And if a Network Interupt or other things windows does not support Resume. At first Total Copy or Burst Copy would fit me but then i heard this program may cause Data loss during Transfer. Any program that has the best of both world?

Any idea how do use it when slipstream... i.e i don't want to carry the same procedure everytime i install window.

Accroding to news from <<spam>> http://<<spam>>.net/comments.p...3&category=main Looks like final testing of nlite is coming

I just wanted to ask something........... but i thought different languages only have EXTRA files, so Shrink Office would only remove the english version files. ?? Or am i wrong?

After doing some reading it seems the assumtion of a .Net compiler is wrong. As far as i can tell the only tools which come close is here http://www.remotesoft.com/ Which basically pacakge the Program required .Net framework files into a .exe file However this tools is not free, and according to website it will only have a trial version in Mid may.... Orginally i was planning to write a similar tools as nlite in Java. But you beat me to it. ^^

from what i can remember there is a tool where you can compile .Net C# into native compilation. But i can't remember where i read about it.

I am trying to find out which files are not needed in my installation of Office so i can strip down Outlook... etc......... I have created a Admin INstall Point on my HD. Is there any program that could monitor which files in the folder where being touched or copied during the installation?

Just try, and didn't work. Although i uses a different languages verson of Office 2k3. But it didn't even start......... 2004-05-10 17:09:44 : <--- LOG OPENED ---> 2004-05-10 17:10:13 : Office Source : C:\Office\ 2004-05-10 17:10:37 : Office Target : C:\o\ 2004-05-10 17:10:41 : Office Setup EXE file : SETUP.EXE 2004-05-10 18:00:14 : Office Setup MST file : New Custom Setup File.MST 2004-05-10 18:00:14 : Setup File Version:11.0.5510.0 2004-05-10 18:00:14 : Setup File Version: Office 2003 2004-05-10 18:00:14 : <----------------------------------> 2004-05-10 18:00:14 : Source Files Necessicary for setup Copied to: C:\o\FILES\SETUP\*.* 2004-05-10 18:00:14 : . 2004-05-10 18:00:14 : .. 2004-05-10 18:00:14 : SETUP.INI 2004-05-10 18:00:14 : <----------------------------------> 2004-05-10 18:00:14 : <----------------------------------> 2004-05-10 18:00:14 : Source Files Necessicary for setup Copied to: C:\o\*.* 2004-05-10 18:00:14 : . 2004-05-10 18:00:14 : .. 2004-05-10 18:00:14 : AUTORUN.INF 2004-05-10 18:00:14 : FILES 2004-05-10 18:00:14 : New Custom Setup File.MST 2004-05-10 18:00:14 : OWC11.MSI 2004-05-10 18:00:14 : PRO11.MSI 2004-05-10 18:00:14 : README.HTM 2004-05-10 18:00:14 : SETUP.EXE 2004-05-10 18:00:14 : SETUP.HTM 2004-05-10 18:00:14 : <----------------------------------> 2004-05-10 18:00:14 : Command Run: C:\o\SETUP.EXE /qb /laceimow "C:\office2.log" TRANSFORMS=C:\o\New Custom Setup File.MST 2004-05-10 18:00:15 : Waiting For 'Windows Installer' Window to appear.... 2004-05-10 18:13:34 : <--- PROCESS TIMED OUT ---> 2004-05-10 18:13:34 : <--- TIME Shrink Program running: 64 min 2004-05-10 18:13:34 : <--- NEW SIZE ON DISK: 7 MB 2004-05-10 18:13:34 : <---LOG CLOSED --> 2004-05-10 18:13:39 : <--- LOG OPENED ---> 2004-05-10 18:13:43 : Values Retrived from shrink.ini 2004-05-10 18:13:43 : Setup File Version: Office 2003 2004-05-10 18:13:43 : <----------------------------------> 2004-05-10 18:13:43 : Source Files Necessicary for setup Copied to: C:\o\FILES\SETUP\*.* 2004-05-10 18:13:43 : . 2004-05-10 18:13:43 : .. 2004-05-10 18:13:43 : SETUP.INI 2004-05-10 18:13:43 : <----------------------------------> 2004-05-10 18:13:43 : <----------------------------------> 2004-05-10 18:13:43 : Source Files Necessicary for setup Copied to: C:\o\*.* 2004-05-10 18:13:43 : . 2004-05-10 18:13:43 : .. 2004-05-10 18:13:43 : AUTORUN.INF 2004-05-10 18:13:43 : FILES 2004-05-10 18:13:43 : New Custom Setup File.MST 2004-05-10 18:13:43 : OWC11.MSI 2004-05-10 18:13:43 : PRO11.MSI 2004-05-10 18:13:43 : README.HTM 2004-05-10 18:13:43 : SETUP.EXE 2004-05-10 18:13:43 : SETUP.HTM 2004-05-10 18:13:43 : <----------------------------------> 2004-05-10 18:13:43 : Command Run: C:\o\SETUP.EXE /qb /laceimow "C:\office2.log" TRANSFORMS=C:\o\New Custom Setup File.MST 2004-05-10 18:13:43 : Waiting For 'Windows Installer' Window to appear....

Well actually i did, but after more searching it seems the thread is listed under Unattend Window..............( Where i thought everything would be window related )

Any news on it?

So far as i have read is that i will need create a Admin install point and use opk to produce a mst file creating a slient install of Office 2k3. However this will mean a full Admin install point has to be included. And say if i don't install Access, Outlook and Publisher. These installation file will be a waste of space. Does any body know any thing to strip it out?

I personally use metapad to replace notepad

It strike me that still not many people are using Bitcomet. I use bitcomet and i think it is very good. Light in resources. However some say it is slow, some say it is fast. Depending on your network config.

I have Symantec AntiVirus Cooperate 9.0 Symantec AntiVirus Definition SmartFTP Thunderbird 0.6 SSH Secure Shell Nero 6 ICQ Lite 4.0 ICQ Banner Removal MSN Messanger 6.2 Flashget Foobar 2000 Alchcol 120% MyIE2 Perfect Disk 6 Build 23 Perfect Disk Update Pack Real / QuickTime Alternatives WinRAR 3.3 PhotoFiltre ( Replacement of MS Paint ) Acrobat Reader 6.0 ( With Auto Speed up ) Decoding Pack ( This is special made , it is only for decoding, no encoding DLL inside ) And Office 2k3 .......... However my Unattend is a CD... not DVD though...... But the above program i would rank them as the best after using many others. So feel free to try them ^_^

The one and only reason i currently use a theme is because this theme provide something i really like. That is the start menu. The start menu is similar to the New Windows Xp start menu except all the "Word" on the right hand side colum aren't ther; such as My computer... Run, Search... Control Panel This makes the Start menu look slim as the classic and provide all the function of the new Xp start menu. But does any body know how to edit it to be like that on the classic theme by editing .dll or similar methods??

IS it possible to add delete Temp directary after the creation of the CDroot folder. Because most of the time it stoped after there because i do not have enough space to create the ISO file. And the temp is something near 1Gb Big!.

after some try and format etc............ it seems the orginaly switches does work and those MSN toolbar were not installed by defaut.

OH god......... Although after playing around and reading a bit. MSN Messanger 6.2 doesn't seems to offer any "new" features. However it does uses less resources which is a good point. But this release also add options that are ticked by default for MSN toolbar. How would i untick them in a slient install?

Sorry i am a total noob and this may seems a stupid question. I am not 100% sure on this but XPcreate will Slipstream all hotfixes and Direct X 9 into the XP installation files. I use the word slipstream, not intergate it and uses some config files to run these hotfixes after installation. Am i correct in this? So once everything is finished with Xpcreate i will use the mothod in unattended guide which uses XP deploy tools to generate a winint.sif which has all the XP installation required information and Add the command with switches at the end of deploy tools for the application that i want it installed. Is there anything wrong with my steps or concept? Once i get all this done may be i should read more and write up a guide for total newbies..

yeah... sorry ... I did it 7 times today already and keep on getting errors so i never really got to the last stage. I remember i had to manually delete it myself but i just cound't find where on the webpage i read it. May be i wasn't reading it carefully enough. I did gosh method first and then batch files. Now i am using Xpcreate & xphotfix to intergate/slipstream these hotfix and Direct X into it. The only problem i have is that the latest patch from m$ is coursing problem. But i could manully delete 835732 myself. Hopefully this should work. If i have any problem i may be post here again.

I use Gosh method to extract the installation folder and uses you.bat files to remove most of the features i don't want. However after i click finish off, the driver folder is still there put there is no SP1 folder. And there is a driver.cab files. So is it save to delete the driver folder? And i read on another thread that you are going to create a bat files that basically does gosh reducing size of souce?

Sorry, but does the output "install" folder include "Lang" folder inside i386? Because i could not get it down to 338 Mb. And it seems if i take out the "Lang" folder it would be just about right.
