I let xpcreate integrate it for me, the I added my unattended files afterwards manually- although it can also do this with the filecd folder. I have it installed, and can try it out when I get home.

it sounds like the pc requirements have changed: Also, should'nt this game be out by now?

Using Azureus and Emlue Plus right now, will have to check out Shareaza later though.

[EDIT] removed to avoid confusion.

BitDefender 8.0 Pro Plus! Very FAST, Firewall & Anti-Virus, Installer about 13MB, Very Clean Interface. Homepage: http://www.bitdefender.com/bd/site/products.php?p_id=25

Plus It would really be a waste of space otherwise and take longer to install.

actually wouldnt it take up less space? the scr.rar file would be smaller than scr/...

sorry I meant to extract the files to the directory. But then again i have cleanup.cmd at the end of runonceex, so it would delete it again. So I would have to run that after cleanup.cmd.

ah, thats a good idea. Thanks. I also just now figured out i could always make a simple sfx archive and run it in runonceex.

Hi does anyone know a exclude delete command? I am using cleanup.cmd to delete the old junk leftover from previous versions of windows. DEL "%systemroot%\*.bmp" DEL "%systemroot%\system32\dllcache\*.scr" DEL "%systemroot%\system32\*.scr" I would like to keep however certain screensavers from being deleted. In my $OEM$\$$\system32 folder I have for example, "3D Windows XP.scr" and "fish.scr" Anyone know how to do this?

Ah, NYDITOT! Its probably that blasted Zone alarm Security Suite again, I am at work right now but I will try it when I get back. Thanks for the response GreenMachine. [EDIT] it was the firewall, agh! Guess I shouldnt be working on stuff a 2am

Same problem English version.

Use XPCREATE, I almost cried the first time I used it. SOOOO EASY, SOOOO GOOD.

ok, so how does one compile this script to work in RunOnceEx?

OfficeShinker cut the size of the Office Install Directory by roughly 50%, then WinRAR got it down to ~150MB, so 7zip might only save 15MB. Nice to know though. Also Just in case anyone is interested and/or doing Unattended Office Installs: Disable CEIP (Customer Experience Improvement Program) in Office 2003

so this requires the use of another program? is it possible to do this with RunOnceEx?

could this be modified so it mounts an image after double clicking on it? Sorta how MountDaemon works?

The Easy Way: [EDIT] This method works nice because RunOnceEx will wait for Office to Finish setting up before it moves on to the next line. Also I reccomend having RunOnceEx setup from %CDROM% to save time with copying. RunOnceEx.cmd: REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "UNPACKING Office 2003 Professional with SP1" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\Office2003.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /VE /D "INSTALLING Office 2003 Professional with SP1" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\OfficeTEMP\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-" /f Office2003.exe ;The comment below contains SFX scripts commands Path=%systemdrive%\OfficeTEMP SavePath Silent=1 Overwrite=1 Cleanup.cmd RD /S /Q "%systemdrive%\OfficeTEMP\"

It Worked! [EDIT] Total ISO filesize is 434MB, plenty to spare. [EDIT2] I used "OfficeShrinker" (use search) to get rid of all the glut in Office bringing the installation files to about 370MB from 670! And WinRAR to compress that down to 148MB self extracting SFX File that RunOnceEx can use.

no this method is different from the other posts. Everyone including myself has tried to create the SFX archive that does it all. This is what Iam doing: RunOnceEx runs the Office2003.exe (SFX Archive), it extracts to "OfficeTEMP". When that is done RunOnceEx, not the SFX Comment, tells it to run the Office setup.exe Transform Unattended.mst. It might not work, but at least we can rule it out.

Oh drag and drop, my bad. I wanted to get the Office2003 (post Shirnk) off the virtual pc to rebuild the Unatttended ISO, now I can try this, THANKS!

Ah can anyone save me some trouble, is there a way to copy and paste files between vmware and the host pc? I let OfficeShrinker run last night, and would like to try that out with this.

[EDIT] See Screenshot Below, new CODE in RunOnceEx.cmd worked. Dont want to confuse anyone with this old stuff that did not work.

Yeah I tested in on VMware and it didnt work. During RunOnceEx the Setup came up, I had to manually choose accept terms, install directory, etc. After it finished it didnt like the imported registry key. What would be a good alternative, WinISO? I think they're almost the same.

[EDIT] Solution here linky
