Sorry for the vagueness, let me clarify... I'm trying to slipstream SP1 into the Office 2003 Proofing Tools. The product is not only different from the Office 2003 CD, but it also has it's own separate service pack. So, I downloaded the Office 2003 Service Pack 1 for Proofing Tools, not to be confused with the Office 2003 Service Pack 1. I then did an administrative install, PTKSETUP.exe /a. This decompressed the CAB files and I end up with a massive 1.2 GB directory vs original 700 MB. Now, I can slipstream the SP1 with the msiexec command. My question is, how do I put everything back into the CAB files? A tedious solution would be to list the files in the original CAB files, and then manually makecab.exe. Oh, and what do you mean And proofing tools needn't be separately slip-streamed.? Thank you for the fast reply! If I can't figure out a solution, I probably will just zip up the directory.

I followed the same steps for slipstreaming Office 2003 and end up with a 1.2 GB directory! It looks like the hidden CAB files on the original disc are decompressed. I could remake the CAB files manually after slipstreaming, but is there a better way?
