thanks, i did it and i saw the same error, then it crate a folder of 7mb, what can i do with that? is the office complete in 7mb? :S

**buckeyeXP** · May 27, 2004

haha no i wish i could make it that small.

I had the same problem with the english version of office 2k3 at first. It is looking for a configuration file that must be in a different place for the spanish version.

Im looking into it.

**buckeyeXP** · May 28, 2004

ok here is the quick fix:

copy :\office\FILES\PFILES\MSOFFICE\OFFICE11\3082\011\SKU011.XML

from your source to your target. That will get the instilation to run.

if you could do that and let me know of any other errors.

I can fix that problem i just cant do it right now, but im sure that there are more problems so try that and let me know.

**SiMoNsAyS** · May 28, 2004

bad news it don't work copied the file from C:\office\FILES\PFILES\MSOFFICE\OFFICE11\3082\011\SKU011.XML to D:\office\FILES\PFILES\MSOFFICE\OFFICE11\3082\011\SKU011.XML didn't work, i also copied the sku011.xml file to sources C:\office and D:\office. good news is that i have captured the screen when error prompts: "Error 25003. No puede continuar la instalación de Microsoft Office porque está dañado el origen de la instalación." -> "Error 25003. Can not continue with Microsoft Office installation because the source of install it's damaged" if you need the logs i'll upload'em

**buckeyeXP** · May 28, 2004

no i dont need them... I knew that was the error, but that file is supposed to fix it. humm........

EDIT: actually yeah give me that log file. I only need the office_tast(0001).txt one.

pls see my last replay for helpe

thanks

**SiMoNsAyS** · May 31, 2004

@buckeyeXP i can't find a solution on slimming down office2k3 and i can't finish my unattended cd because of the huge size (227mb SFX RAR for office). i hope you release a multilingual office 2k3 shrink utility (soon )

@alhaddar first check obvious things like installing office on a clean system (no office installed earlier) check out you're running an english version of office, you have administrative privileges, your office version it's simple (not 10in1 or 5in1 versions) and you followed the guide step by step.

**alhaddar** · May 31, 2004

thanks SiMoNsAyS

Can tell me how I kown my office version its administrative privileges or not

alhaddar

**SiMoNsAyS** · May 31, 2004

are you running the installation when you logon like an administrator?? if you have more questions check Advanced Office 2003

**SiMoNsAyS** · June 2, 2004

well i have find something interesting for users of non-english office verions. follow this process, it's tricky but you will find a solution to reduce the size of office:

start: you got the unattended.mst and administrative installation start shrink48.exe. and copy office\FILES\PFILES\MSOFFICE\OFFICE11\3082\011\SKU011.XML to the target of shrink exe file for example:

C:\office\FILES\PFILES\MSOFFICE\OFFICE11\3082\011\SKU011.XML

to

D:\office\FILES\PFILES\MSOFFICE\OFFICE11\3082\011\SKU011.XML

don't know why installation will fail. i checked my D:\office\FILES\SETUP folder where i found \PFILES\MSOFFICE\OFFICE11\3082\011\SKU011.XML (maybe i copied the file in a wrong place or maybe the installation moved the directory or don't know why).

another time started shrink48.exe and copied:

C:\office\FILES\PFILES\MSOFFICE\OFFICE11\3082\011\SKU011.XML

to

D:\office\FILES\PFILES\MSOFFICE\OFFICE11\3082\011\SKU011.XML

with this, installation started but it didn't find the necessary files, and it asked for the files needed, so it's a lot of work copy everytime every file that installation asks to the target folder but very useful if you are running a minimal installation, asking only for a few files. i think it will help the author (i'm running this method now in the other pc i will upload the logs when i finish it)

EDITED: my logs are here, they show the installation asks for a few files until it needs critical files like EXCEL.EXE and then it shows "retry or cancel"

**buckeyeXP** · June 2, 2004

@simonsays: If you could get me a screen shot of the error box. Either error 1309 or 1308 that would be helpful.

Copying the files on those error messages is exactly what office shrink is supposed to do.

Also the folder is different for different languages.

French: \FILES\PFILES\MSOFFICE\OFFICE11\1036\011\SKU011.XML

German: \FILES\PFILES\MSOFFICE\OFFICE11\1031\011\SKU011.XML

Italian: \FILES\PFILES\MSOFFICE\OFFICE11\1040\011\SKU011.XML

IF anybody else that has another language i will need a screen shot of the error.

if it help u here it is

**buckeyeXP** · June 5, 2004

ok i whipped this up real quick. This is only to test this is not a final release by any means. This will probably only work for the spanish version. but run it and tell what happens.

Also, for all of the other languages what does microsoft call restart. does it always start with a "R" because if it does this process would be alot easier. I know the spanish version does.

either way let me know

@Simonsays: let me know what you think.
