After shrinking, how to create a silent installer uA_Office2003nl.exe? ____________________________________________________________________________________ download and install 7-zip - select all files and directories of the folder c:\officeshrinker (the folder containing all files+folders of your shrinked office!). - right-click and select "add to archive". - in the option window,choose "Ultra" compression (you need at least 512MB ram, otherwise select "Maximum"). - after a few minutes,you get your officeshrinker.7z put in another directory --> officeshrinker.7z + --> 7zS.sfx (download "Extra Modules" here: http://www.7-zip.org/download.html) + --> a config.txt with that in this config.txt:;!@Install@!UTF-8! RunProgram="setup.exe transforms=unAttended.mst /qb" ;!@InstallEnd@! => Now run this command (Start > Run.. type CMD and press ENTER) copy /b 7zS.sfx + config.txt + office2003.7z uA_office2003.exe uA_Office2003nl.exe is your final file! if you want to test,just execute (double click) on this officeshrinker.exe,everything should be i hope i have helped you. It is updated from <{POST_SNAPBACK}> _____________________________________________________________________________________ 2 PROBLEMS THAT MIGHT OCCUR: If during Office Setup, you get errors that files are missing: write down the path+name of all the missing files (press ignore!). Get your original OfficeCD, and run Setup /a (admin install). All files will be extracted to a folder (lets call this folder OFFICE). Go to this folder and use the path+filenames you have written down to copy these files. Extract uA_Office2003.exe, paste the files with correct paths in the office 'Files' folder. Go to step 2 to create uA_Office2003.exe again! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ if you have the rollback problem, remove /qb-, click through the setup. You will see some files are missing, google and download (or from original source) them put them in the right folders and test again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you want to install at T12 like me, it won't work, so check this: [solution] Installing Office 2k3 On T-12 --> you won't need setup.cmd, won't need startX.exe, just create the config.txt like this: config.txt;!@Install@!UTF-8! RunProgram="officeexecNLpro.exe" ;!@InstallEnd@! just wanted to have all the important info in one place

see the 7z method here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...%207zip&st=426# could I just modify the config.txt, not using a cmd file at all: config.txt ;!@Install@!UTF-8! RunProgram="officeexecNLpro.exe" ;!@InstallEnd@! (assuming I don't need StartX.exe for this). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EDIT tried just adding officeexecNLpro.exe in config.txt and it works fine. Except the file never kills itself when install is finished... so RunOnceEx doesn't contiue, have to use CTRL+ALT+DEL and kill the proces "officeexecNLpro.exe". Please post a fix or give your code! I have autoit3.exe in my System32 folder already (need it for other tasks) so won't need a .exe (i think... would need to configure the 7zip sfx to start autoit3.exe with the au3 file... but I think this can only be done using StartX.exe.... so using your exe would be easier anyway.)

OK not all is working yet, 2 bugs: 1. Can play all Windows Media streams in the browser, can play WM in MPC, but: cannot click links (with Firefox) containing .wmv files, will get a blank page (no downloading). Try for example the links on the bottom of this site: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...ang=en#filelist These are ASPX links? Normal links like www.google.com/blabla/blalbla/movie.wmv do work. 2. I can play Realstreams in my browser... but no RAM and no RM (only the audio plays) playback in MPC. the errors I get: RAM: Cannot Render the file RM: The following pins failed to find a connectable filter: Stream 1 Media Type 0: -------------------------- AM_MEDIA_TYPE: majortype: MEDIATYPE_Video {73646976-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71} subtype: Unknown GUID Name {30315652-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71} formattype: FORMAT_VideoInfo {05589F80-C356-11CE-BF01-00AA0055595A} bFixedSizeSamples: 1 bTemporalCompression: 0 lSampleSize: 11584 cbFormat: 122 VIDEOINFOHEADER: rcSource: (0,0)-(0,0) rcTarget: (0,0)-(0,0) dwBitRate: 117958 dwBitErrorRate: 0 AvgTimePerFrame: 666666 BITMAPINFOHEADER: biSize: 40 biWidth: 240 biHeight: 176 biPlanes: 3 biBitCount: 12 biCompression: RV10 biSizeImage: 63360 biXPelsPerMeter: 0 biYPelsPerMeter: 0 biYPelsPerMeter: 0 biClrUsed: 0 biClrImportant: 0 Perhaps this is what Jeremy and Fridge-RaideR mean?

@drawde, did you had the rollback problem ONLY when installing with RunOnceEx? Because now I have a new problem: it rolls back, only when I install with RunOnceEx, if I test it myself it installs perfectly! OK I found out why above was happening to me, I execute RunOnceEx a bit sooner then most people, just to speed things up, I use this line in my cmdlines.txt, so that RunOnceEx will be executed: "rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess" Office wont install (will not even start to install, see quote above) it will only extract. So I now tried to install it by RunOnceEx normally... now I got the rollback problem! Very strange, it works perfectly if I do it manually...

OK this is like magic or something: my slipstreamed, shrinked and 7z compressed silent Office2003 (dutch) install works fine... until I use it with my UWXPCD and run it from RUNONCEEX.CMD It does extract, even see a quick black window (the cmd command)... thats it... RunOnceEx jumps to the next item in the list. .Net Framework is installed first (first item in the list!). anyone any idea how this could happen?

I didn't had time to test with those files... just tried the TTPACK and it works just fine now I like mpc better then Zoomplayer... mpc is free and with dvdplayback support... thats the main reason. And it plays Realmedia! ofcourse you have to install real pack... what's the problem with that? otherwise quicktime should be build in also... nope... don't think people would like that. titou2k thanks for the great packs

This is how I do it (extremely easy) After al programs are installed, I remove all the shortcurts I don't want, catagorize some others until I have the perfect Startmenu (I make sure this is the All Users menu) Then I create a RAR SFX of the all users starmenu, in my CLEANUP.CMD I delete the contents of all users startmenu, the SFX will extract after the cleanup. Works great. easy to modify..

ANYONE? titou2k if the language is the problem can you explain to me how to create a Dutch wmp10lite?

followed the very simple guide of astalavista (a few days ago), but when I double click it just extracts... nothing else. Then I followed the guide of yoyo92 (post 439), and it works fine now. BTW when you install 7zip newest version, you wont get 7zS.exe But you don't have to install v3.13! You should download "Extra modules: 7z Library, Plugin for FAR, SFXs for installers" wich is the 3rd downloadlink in the second table on the Downloads page of www.7-zip.org direct link: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sevenzi...0_extra.tar.bz2 you can open this with Winrar and extract 7zS.exe from it.

I had the same problem and solution

Well I don't understand... perhaps because I have DUTCH WinXP sp2? I am using the English Lite versions... I DID ofcourse extracted the files to the correct folders of Firefox (1.04).

@BuckeyXP perhaps you can update the Shrinker with this fix for the Dutch Office? it works! Thanks a lot... but after a while, the script seems to pause or something... get an error from Office setup: "Error 1308, can't find file..." my laptop starts running at topspeed and nothing...happens.. Then I found out this only happens with a few files, all in the same dir: D:\PostInstall\Applications\Office\FILES\PFILES\MSFT.NET\PIAS So I quit the Shrinker, deleted the contents of the destination folder C:\OFFICE, then copied this folder ("PIAS") to the correct subfolders in its destination C:\OFFICE: C:\office\FILES\PFILES\MSFT.NET\PIAS ran the Shrinker again and... it finished succesfully!

there is more that needs to be fixed, see my post here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...28entry329428

I still have the same problem! see my original post on page 42 for the logfiles. where is the author of the script? ***PLEAAASE FIX IT***

OK all is working now! thanks!

I am now creating an rtf file for each item... but only thing I get, if I select an item, is the titel of the rtf file... so for MSN messenger I created msn.rtf... now in the helpsection I only see: MSN Messenger msn.rtf What goes wrong? added the rtf file (it contains a picture but also without picture it doesn't work) and my ini. Also have an rtf for Skype... with a picture in it.. same problem, also without. I open Word XP, type 1 line of text and add a small picture, then save as RTF file.

I cannot play audio or video streams in Firefox when using this method... I am getting an error window with title: npdsplay Can not create DirectShow Player. what could have gone wrong?

WOOOW and we have ATI Mobility support! Great! Thnx Bashrat! Will test this week!

yeah you got me laughing whuahahaha

OK I am not sure... perhaps you are doing it correctly, but just to be sure: 1. download the file "Nero-6.6.0.13.exe" and place this in a new dir: C:\NEW 2. Download "Nero Custom Installer Creator.rar" and extract only this .rar file to C:\NEW 3. follow instructions in PDF file: -------- 1. edit register.reg (to your needs, dont forget the key) -------- 2. edit Makit.cmd to your needs -------- 3. edit post_config.cmd to your needs 4. run Makit.cmd In this entire proces, you never ran Nero-6.6.0.13.exe ( you never double-clicked it! just downloaded it to C:\NEW) I got the impression you double clicked "Nero-6.6.0.13.exe", and extracted "Nero Custom Installer Creator.rar" in the TEMP folder wich was created by the nero file... Don't have a clue why you would do this... since this is not the way described in the PDF. So please read carefully... it is much easier then you think. @felix: I still don't understand why I get the mentioned bugs... anyone else got this problem? EDIT: Using NCAB v2 now, works perfectly... but I still prefer this method since it doesn't require installation... only extraction to program files and system32, and 1 .cmd file and 1 .reg file for registration etc. It is the fastest way.. But for now I use ncab since it works fine.

Just use these: http://ksphere.free.fr/site/codecspackage.php You'll get full Real support and Quicktime support... contains only the files you need (for instance, no MPC, this is handy because it saves time during install) and fully unattended.

Open your MSN messenger folder and remove the 2 files that have a backup, then rename the .bak extensions of the backups to the correct extension (.exe and ???) and you'll have original MSN... now you can rerun apatcher. actually if you just run apatcher again I think you can select to use the backup and it will do the above descibed action for you. Anyone any idea how to solve this problem? <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Jeremy are you sure you did not extract the nero installer and nero vision installer like you posted previously? Because you shouldn't do that, the custom install builder does it for you. Ofcourse if you do that, the Custom Installation creator will not find the nero installer... so nothing will happen. btw I still don't have a clue why I am having those old bugs...

@ j stam I didnt had lots of time but I will test officeshrinker soon and sent you my log!

what profile are you talking about? Your windows useraccount? I am using Kaspersky Personal and it doesnt work with a profile or anything. I would like to know how to get the settings right silently (autoupdate every 3 days instead of 3h, perform recommended action instead of asking user for the Realtime and the Manual scan). Perhaps that is also what you would like to know?
