convict Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Hello, I've been a member for a few now but I've just been browsing around and checking stuff out. Love this forum Anyway, I pretty much got the hang of xpcreate with all the hotfixes and other stuff to install. But I just have a couple questions.First I need to know if I can intergrate Microsoft Office to install with the unattended windows installation.And second, Am I able to create a multiple disk installation? Like if the image turns out to be way bigger then a standard cd-r, am I able to put it onto 2 or more cd's so everything installs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMachine Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Welcome to MSFN, convict, even if you've been here a while!First, I've never had any luck integrating Office. That is to say, having it install during the setup process. I install it upon first reboot, using the RunOnceEx registy key method. For that, there is plenty of information on the Unattended Forum.Second, XPCREATE has no provisions for a multi-CD install. That is not to say that it cannot be done, just that it is beyond XPCREATEs scope. Again, if so much is being installed that a second CD is needed, it is probably after the first reboot, so check out some of the 2 CD threads in the unattended forum. Adding all the applications to an unattended installation is so specific to each user that I decided not to even tackle that objective. I just try to produce an up to date Windows Installation, and send users on their way to the Unattended Forum, where all these subjects are discussed in detail. Things like a 2 CD install seemed like such a bother to me, that I just went out and bought a DVD burner. It's all a question of how much you value your time, but 10 hours saved at 10 dollars an hour ... I figured it payed for itself pretty quickly.
