we've covered this topic many times before... do a search on the forums

I think the solution was:

1) in RunOnceEx, after everything from first CD is finished, run a CMD (batch) file that has:

@echo off
echo Please insert second CD . . .
pause
exit

then the commands after the CD has been changed to the second CD in RunOnceEx have to make them also CMD (batch) files that have:

for %%i in (D: E: F: G: H: I: J:) do if exist %%i\Win51ip.SP1 do set CDROM=%%i
start /wait %cdrom%\apps\app1\setup.exe /S

if you get what I mean? That way it will pause after first CD is finished... then everything afterwards that gets installed it works out what drive the CDROM is and runs the installations off the CDROM drive...

anyway, howcome you can't fit all your stuff onto one CD?

my disk has SP2 2149, Office2003PRO, PowerDVD, Nero, plus a tonne of other programs... and it all fits into 650mb

i used nLite and officeshrink (available through these forums)

That thread is pretty understandable, if only you'd have the will to take the time to apply it.

Hey, me too man. Same here.

There's no need for a 2nd CD at all (or a DVD for that matter).

There's no need for a 2nd CD at all (or a DVD for that matter).

Indeed, i cant even fill a 700MB cd im at 300MB (XP + Progs) im waiting til sp2 final's out b4 i burn my final copy, but that doesnt use up much space, im just in the process of getting everything perfect with my ISO's

i'm using sp2 rc2 atmo... i found it to be only slightly bigger than sp1 once you remove garbage using nLite

Or you can just put the biggest software into a seconde CDR in your second cd drive I dont really trust those shrinking programs, and you need to re-do it everytime an update comes up...

When you run the Unattended isntall...

do u need to add anything specific to start.cmd for using nLite and ShrinkOffice?

[squallgreg]

Boot Tools 90 MB

Windows pro Sp1 350MB

windows updates  40MB

Do you really need these boot tools ?

How come your hotfixes are 40mo ? mine are 80mo (all post-SP1 critical updates + DX9b opk)

HOW?!

I ran shrinkoffice and it only compressed it by 8MB. Well that was the size difference in the folder size <before and after> shrink office.

What I am I missing?!

Everything else is a go.. just trying to shrink tis office to fit on my uA CD.

hope im not buggin too much.

It depends on the components of office you chose to install !

Download the office resource kit (ORK) to use the Custom Installation Wizard, make an .MST and then run officeshrink (follow the instructions in the officeshrink thread).

My Office XP (slipstreamed with SP3) went down from 670 MB to 27 MB (chose to install only Word,Excel, PP viewer). 3 cheers to office shrink.
