don't really know...but i have seen more, have got PMs, don't remember them nicks thank yu, i'm trying to to be active

i have found another way to create office2003, now it works for sure, the size is 100MB, but that size can be changed, it it because the info in the transfrom mst file. the way to do it 1.yu don't need to create any adminstrave point, the best way is to have a clean office2003 installer, that should have 95 .CAB files and ~9 other files including the .mst file and 2 folders 2.create the unattended.mst file 3.create a new folder(the best way is to do on a clean windows) 4.copy these files and folders: a)PRO11.msi b)setup.exe c)unattended.mst d)SKU011.XML and this folder with subloder and one file: e)FILES\SETUP\setup.ini to that new folder now create a new batch file with this code setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qf and run it 5.setup progress will apear and don't change nothing just install 6.when yu see the error, showing that .CAB file is missing, just copy that .CAB file to your created new folder and click retry, than yu see another error and do this until it stops showing yu the errors 7. yu should see that office installer is much smaller well, i managed to get office in 100MB(with word, excell,powerpoint, picture manager) good luck p.s. use that installer with on a clean windows, with .net support, with no .net support and add few required .CAB files to get working fully when yu do that do what ever yu want with installer, make it 7-zip swtichless..... well that all, it's better to put into unattended CD 100MB that 400MB office installer hope yu getted all right, ask me if something goes wrong, i will help yu, believe it is worth it

hey hou, bamboochhhhaaaaaa!!!

deleted

nop, if i would directly edit, that i wouldn'y need transfrom, in that case setup should work perfectly, but this is very and very hard work, because not only that i have to delete the information from msi file, i would also need seach and detele the files, but is it worth it?

maybe yu are right, yu see i cant tell everything in enlsigh what i want to say, so i may mistake, .net is not only reason why shrinked office is not installed, i think there are more reasons, but the main thing of creating this installer, that it would install and it should work if it installed not like the "shrinked office", well i think so, if there's a way to create that installer?

good luck

thank yu , just saying that there are many lithuanian people in this forum from lithuania like me

how are the things going Vid0, did yu find anything wrong in my ar703.msi file?? i don't even know if i have compressed it fully, could yu chek that? btw maybe yu are interested in creating an office installer, i have started a topic where i explained how to so in herewhat do yu think of that?

Adminstudio 6 Repackager is the best

Taigi ir klausiu, ar tas tavo skriptas tiesiog maniskio konvertuota versija su InstallShield AdminStudio pagalba, ar ji sukurei kokiu kitu budu. Tiesiog neturiu po ranka to InstalShield'o ir negaliu pabandyt. Orca skripto neoptimizuoja, priesingai - po kiekvieno pataisymo jis tik puciasi... Manau, kad konvertavai, nes panasios klaidos matosi ir tavo versijoj ;-) (Sorry - technical details...) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> jau aiskiau, ne ash nekonvertavau tawo versijos, tik naudojausi ja kurdamas nauja....beje registrus ir kelis dar kazkokius id numerius ar kazkas panasaus pasivogiau ish tawes, nes man nerodydavo ant pdf failo paveiksliuko p.s. i have created a batch file with the code inside, and putted the file also with the 7za.exe file into the AR directory, runned the batch file, then it finished, but there were also those two files inside the archive how do i exclude them from beeing putten in the archive?

where do i need put this line, and how do i run this, should i run it from a batch file or what

Is this script a installshield adminsutio "Open / Save As" version of the bigger one, <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yes, if i understanded yu what are yu asking

hero yu go

I've made smaller SFX module 7zSD_AR.sfx (based on 7z 4.26b 7zSD.sfx) sized only 42002 bytes (attached to this post). Smaller configuration script... ;!@Install@!UTF-8! RunProgram="msistub AR703.msi /qb-!" ;!@InstallEnd@! ...based on smaller installer stub msistub.exe (only 2560 bytes). It has a little different command line syntax compared to a popular StartX.exe (167936 bytes) , but does the same job in this case. Archive is packed with 7z 4.26b and specially tweaked packing options to achieve better compression for this set of files. 7z command line looks like this: 7za.exe a -r -t7z -m0=BCJ2 -m1=LZMA:d24:fb255:a2:lc7:mf=bt3 -m2=LZMA:d19:fb128:a2:lc0:lp2:mf=bt3 -m3=LZMA:d19:fb128:a2:lc0:lp2:mf=bt3 -mb0:1 -mb0s1:2 -mb0s2:3 AR703.7z I have no time to tweak installer script ar703.msi. I’ve only made basic changes with Orca. There are a lot of useless options inside the script, and it definitely must be tweaked. I'd like to see your version of the script (Hope it’ll work as good as full version). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ok, i will upload my ar703.msi and the script file....yu can check if it is allright, because i don't know wery well the scripting(i use installshield adminsutio Editor for editing msi files)

@Vid0 what program do yu use to compress all the files needed for install, because when i downloaded your installer (6.02MB), then i have extracted and the compressed and got 6.42MB!! btw i use 7zip 4.26 version with ultra compression p.s. the reason i'm asking is because i have an idea of creating AR even smaller, about 2MB smaller not compressed installed, so when i compress it should be about 5.7MB or something like that.... edited: your's extracted installer size (21.9MB) mine extracted installer size (19.7MB) and all files are included also and msvcp71.dll, the main difference is the ar703.msi file (yours 2.56MB , mine only 388KB) so now i would want to know how to compress them.tnx

55+46=100+ thats over 100 downloads in one week, i'm glad that someone find it usefull now that i have got skills, i will make winamp even smaller ~3.15MB with all those features that now are included in near future

By the way, properly packed version with msvcp71.dll & no desktop icon can be as small as 6.09Mb. Take a look: http://rapidshare.de/files/4123843/ar703a.exe.htmlBut for my Unattended Windows XP CD I'll not use this version, because, as I said, the missing file is installed by another application and there is no need to duplicate it twice. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i forgot to cab that file , that's the problem, i have puttet the file in all size

hey everyone well the things aren't going wery good for me and some other people, the thing is that i can't figure where is the problem of creating installer of Office 2003, so i thought taht it would be better that other can help me and us .The "shrinking method" we use is not perfect because we can only install office only once on clean windows and that that, so i basically want to create better unattended, shrinked office and i need your help!!! below yu can see the the main sites where can yu learn more about repackaging using adminstudio 6 1.Download Adminstudio 6 from here yu can use it for 30days, plus repackager is for FREE 2.Go to this site for learning how to use Repackager or download an office document p.s. yu can also watch a demo muvie to find out how to use adminsrudio in here the main problem is that repackager stops when it tries to load registry entries, but have have managed to go pass it sucsesfully, but only once, i can't get it pass no more,so i need your help. other problem is that when i open word it sais that, ms word is not installer for this current user the methots i tried: installed word on clean windows, tried to install over transform, tried to install over the "shrinked office", tried to install with .net frameworks, tried to install where was no frameworks on system so if anyone cares, please help me and us, i think that that many people would want to have there own shrinked office that would install and work on there system many times i know that there will be many unknown errors on that installer, but it should work for that OS and computer that they created OFFICE 2003

no new version this time

ok..........

same error here... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i have updated @Vid0's arcobat reader and i can upload it if Vid0 won't mind, the size of mine acrobat reader is 6.52MB, but that error doesn't popup anymore

what can yu do??? try making your own winamp using adminstudio 6 repackager

A lot of things have been removed, so there is only minimum left needed to read common PDF files. If you'll find something really important missing - let me know. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> well, when i tried to install there was an error, there was missing one file here take a look:
