Alanoll Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 hehe, everyoen wants THAT MSI and not the 5.0. I'll go dig through my CDs when I get home....I'm sure it's on one of them hopefully (I made it).As for making it smaller, use OfficeShrink for Office and nLite for Windows. You'll probally only need OfficeShrink. It's in the sticky thread..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanoll Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 i dunno if ICQ has a switch specifically like that...most people use either pskill.exe or taskkill.exepskill is from systernals, and taskkill comes with XP Pro.pskill.exe icq.exetaskkill /f icq.exeboth do the same thing, kills icq.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanoll Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 i don't think 7 mb is right....did you use the right Office Shrink (there are two)? and do you have a supported language?EDIT:: Nevermind, looks like he combined the ALONG time ago.....tells you I never used it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[BM]Crusher Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 office 2003 :::Make it fit onto a Windows CD with ease... Word, Excel and Publisher in 295mb (it fits on my cd with ease... but I am using nLite as well)1) use the "Custom Installation Wizard" to create your Unattend.MST file (choose options for what programs you want etc etc)2) copy your entire Office CD Source to "C:\Office"3) place your Unattend.MST file in the same directory4) Use "OfficeShrink" and point it to C:\Office\Setup.exe and C:\Office\Unattend.MST.... tell it to install to C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\Install\Applications\Office5) Once it has finished you get the message "Office setup completed successfully"6) Make your install command = %systemdrive%\install\applications\office\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-or, make Office install off the CD (saves copying 300mb of office setup files to the hard drive during text mode setup)Same as above, except these steps different:4) tell it to install to C:\XPCD\Office (instead of in the $OEM$ directory)6) make your install command = %systemdrive%\install\office.cmd7) make "office.cmd" and place it in $OEM$\$1\Installoffice.cmd:@echo offecho.echo Installing Office 2003 Professionalecho.echo Please wait . . .echo.for %%i in (C: D: E: F: G: H: I: J: K: L:) do if exist %%i\CD.txt set CDROM=%%istart /wait %cdrom%\office\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-exitNote: this batch file won't work unless you put a file in your cd root named CD.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
