Yes, you are right the command must be started direct from the MS Antispyware folder unless it is not working.

Ok guys if anybody else is having troubles with MS AntiSpyware freezing the WPI installation or the 101 error here is one more solution how to bypass those troubles. 1. First you must use the MS AntiSpyware.msi for install the program 2. Use the file server.exe wich wil put batch file in the MS Antispyware folder and run it. In your config.js use these lines for MS Antispyware cmd1[pn]=['%systemdrive%\\install\\AntiSpyware\\micro.msi /qn'] cmd2[pn]=['%systemdrive%\\install\\AntiSpyware\\server.exe'] You must put the server.exe in the same folder as the .msi file( example:\$OEM$\$1\install\AntiSpyware ) here is the file: server.exe(RapidShare) I have tested it, and it is working fine with no errors.

Hi guys. I am starting to get this strange error mesage window during installation of programs via WPI. The error window showes up when the compressed files are installing, most of the time when Office is installing. I think because it takes some time to be extracted and installed. If selected only small programs like Mozzila, Opera...etc there is no such error mesage present. If I chose the NO(Ne) button the process continues without problems. Do you have any idea how to solve this problem? Here is an example... Thanks in advance!

Venator The version number [Version] Number=11.0.6361.0 I get it from YOUR attached .MST file, so you should use the exact code that I posted and do not change anything. I did not install the .NET program for my second step, just Windows. You can do the extraction of the office from CD and you can make the .MST file on another computer but you must use the same Office 2003 program. The .MST file just tell the original office installer wihch aplications will be installed in silent mode and which not and will not do anything to your office. So extract the office on your main computer, create the .MST file on your main computer, then put this complete folder somewhere on your other clean computer and run the shrink process using the shrink.ini with correct version number.

The post No: 331 is corrected check the whole process again.(It was my mistake) Venator this is the shrink.ini you need. [Language] lang=Italian dir=1040 retry=&Riprova title=Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 error=Errore [Directory] Office Source=C:\Office2003\ Office Target=C:\office\ [Files] Office Setup EXE file=SETUP.EXE Office Setup MST file=Unattend.MST [Version] Number=11.0.6361.0 I made a mistake to tell you guys to read the version number from your setup.ini file.It is the number that you get from Unattend.MST file that should work.(you can get all the informations if you leave your mouse cursor on the Unattend file for a while. And also you must not do the process of shrinking if you have office resource kit installed. It must be clean instalation.Only windows ! The "Office Source=" section is the folder where you have your extracted office and your Unattend.MST It will not work now if you yust change the shrink.ini file you must start the whole process again because the office shrink process must be on clean PC (without Office resource kit installed) I wil correct my post above,So the steps will be correct. Please see my new tutorial here:MSFN FORUM I hope that you will solve your problems. Please report results.

Hi guys! After one whole day of trying and reading all the replys 100 times I solve the problem for non English office users.Office shrink should work fine with EVERY language of office not just the ones in setup. Here it is what to do to make it work. 1. Make slipstream copy of your office via Run=>E:\Setup.exe /a in any folder you want. Example c:\Office2003 2. Use Microsoft Office resource kit, to make the .MST file. (the name must be Unattend.MST)When asked for .msi point to .msi file in the c:\Office2003 and then deselect aplications you won't need.(Acess,OneNote...etc) 3. When asked, make the .MST file in the same folder.(c:\Office2003) added: copy your C:\Office folder to your D: drive or burn it on cd 3.1 Now you must format your PC and install only windows without Office resource kit ! Now with fresh windows installed: 4. Here comes the tricky part: You must know your office language code and ENGLISH name of the language. Here ar examples: Arabic (Saudi Arabia) 1025 Bulgarian 1026 Chinese (Hong Kong SAR) 3076 Chinese (PRC) 2052 Chinese (Taiwan) 1028 Croatian 1050 Czech 1029 Danish 1030 Dutch (Netherlands) 1043 English (United States) 1033 Estonian 1061 Finnish 1035 French (France) 1036 German (Germany) 1031 Greek 1032 Hebrew 1037 Hindi 1081 Hungarian 1038 Italian (Italy) 1040 Japanese 1041 Korean 1042 Latvian 1062 Lithuanian 1063 Norwegian (Bokmal) 1044 Polish 1045 Portuguese (Brazil) 1046 Portuguese (Portugal) 2070 Romanian 1048 Russian 1049 Serbian (Latin) 2074 Slovak 1051 Slovenian 1060 Spanish (Modern Sort) 3082 Swedish 1053 Thai 1054 Turkish 1055 Ukrainian 1058 So for my Office language is Slovenian and code is 1060. 5. You have to create folder on C:\ named office( C:\Office) 6. Make shure that you do NOT have office installed on your PC. 7. Navigate on disk C:\ and leave the window open (you should see folders like Program Files,Windows,Office...etc) 8. Now start the office shrink( shrink_lang02.exe) 9. When asked for language leave to English and click on Next 10. At that moment the file shrink.ini will apear in window that we leave open before (C:\) 11. the .ini should look like this: [Language] lang=English dir=1033 retry=&Retry title=Microsoft Office error=Error 12. Now set the lang=to your language of Office (must be the english translation of your language-see above what it is for your language) 13. Set dir= to code of your language (see above) 14 Set the retry= to what the windows say in your language(not translated) when they want you to retry something (dont forget to put the"&"in front of the word) 14.set the title=(here are most of the mistakes made)It is not always the "Microsoft office",in fact in my case ther must be Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 If not you will get the 1308 Error !!!! so you must try both versions. 15.set the error= to what your windows say when you get Error(in your language not in English) 16. My shrink.ini now look like this: [Language] lang=Slovenian dir=1060 retry=&Ponovi title=Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 error=Napaka 17. Don't forget to save the changes in your shrink.ini ! 18. Now you can continue with your Office shrink program and set your office source (the folder you copied to safe place before you formated your disk) 19. In next window set target must be C:\office\ !!! 20. In window select setup.exe 21. In next window select Unattend.MST 22. Check your shrink.ini 23. Your shrink.ini now look similar like this: [Language] lang=Slovenian dir=1060 retry=&Ponovi title=Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 error=Napaka [Directory] Office Source=C:\Office2003\ Office Target=C:\office\ [Files] Office Setup EXE file=SETUP.EXE Office Setup MST file=Unattend.MST [Version] Number=11.0.5614.0 added: You should check your office version and correct the shrink.ini When you set your language in officeshrink it writes the default version for the language, but yours my be different.You will find your version number if you drag your mouse over the Unattend.MST file and leave it there for a while. Check the line under ProductVersion=11.0.5614.0 and retype the version number in your shrink.ini Save the canges you made. Start the shrink_lang02.exe again and you will be promped to use the setup found on your computer.Click Yes and the process will start. 24. Now start the shrink_lang02.exe again and when asked to use the setup found on your computer select yes. 25. The process will now start... 23. You will see instalation progress bar and ALOT of flashing error messages.(this is ok) 24. At the end process you will see the mesage Completed and you get your shrinked Office !!!

I had the same problem and I am using this methode and it worked for me !!! 1 I add the .cmd file (I named it keyboard.cmd) in the \$OEM$\$1\install folder,the command should look like this: Rundll32 shell32,Control_RunDLL intl.cpl,,/f:"c:\install\unattend.txt" 2. put the .txt file in the same dir as the keyboard.cmd (\$OEM$\$1\install ), in my case the file is named unattend.txt as shown above. You can use any other name but be sure to correct it the .cmd file too... 3. the unattend.txt should have these lines: [RegionalSettings] InputLocale="0424:00000424", "0424:00000424" just change the 0424 part to be equal for Australian and that is it... you can run the keyboard.cmd from cmdlines.txt so it will run at T12 point on windows setup or you carn run it via RunOnceEx....
