iwod Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I was wondering if one could make a Office that will work on most system. So that we don't have to remake our office everytime we slipstream update / or make changes to the disc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only problems I encountered were with FrontPage/OneNote/Project/Visio and an xml file that made the installer think it was corrupted. Copied the xml files over to the proper directory in the target and tried it again, and it worked just fine. Woot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwod Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I was thinking, If i make a Office Shrink on a heavy Nlited CD. ( virtuall everything apart from IE ) Then shouldn't in theory this office include all the extras you need to install office. And therefore work on most system?
