Charmin Deluxe Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 hibecause i missed some features in buckeyexp's shrinker, i wrote my own office shrinker tool. in the moment my programm works in the same way like buckeye's but i'm working on another solution (something like nlite, just for office)i'd feel happy if you could test my programm, too. it should work fine for office 2003 and english, german, spanish, dutch. i don't know how it will act with other office versions!other languages can easily be added in the language.inithx! download:http://www.illusions-tec.de/charmin/OfficeShrinker0.9.rarnote!!!:no error support for version 0.9!! i'm working on the other much faster comfortable maybe saver shrinking method. should be finished soon.
SiMoNsAyS Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 really nice!!i'll test on spanish ver ASAP!
prathapml Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 Thanks, its interesting - will try it today after getting home! One thing I'd like to know though, is does this "shrinker" support all cds ?I mean, the one by buckeyeXP works only for CD1 of office 2003. If you try to reduce source of frontpage, onenote (cd2, cd5) you find that you can't.Also, what is this tool based on? not Auto-It it seems?
Charmin Deluxe Posted January 23, 2005 Author Posted January 23, 2005 hmm i'm not sure if it'll work with the other cd's too .. i thought you can slipstream the other cds into an admin point install. i don't have the other cd's so i really don't knowit's based on autoit (the new beta with gui support) and i'll send you the source if you want to.
prathapml Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 i thought you can slipstream the other cds into an admin point install. i don't have the other cd's so i really don't knowYes you can slip-stream into AIP, but its a different AIP!Also, to confirm that your code works for every CD, try running it with the office resource kit installer.
Charmin Deluxe Posted January 23, 2005 Author Posted January 23, 2005 try running it with the office resource kit installerhmm how?
keytotime Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 Does this need to be run on a clean xp machine?
Charmin Deluxe Posted January 23, 2005 Author Posted January 23, 2005 Does this need to be run on a clean xp machine?i'm afraid so
prathapml Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 try running it with the office resource kit installerhmm how? Do a "/A" (admin install) of the package - it can be found on CD1 or downloaded.Then use the resource kit to make an MST for itself. That should do it.
MAVERICKS CHOICE Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 @Charmin DeluxeLooks good, will give it a go on my test machine.
Astalavista Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 ok guys dont forget to report in and tell us what happens
gamehead200 Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 Question: Why does this have to be run on a clean install of XP?
Charmin Deluxe Posted January 23, 2005 Author Posted January 23, 2005 because it does a test installation of office to see which files are needed. but last night i got a great idea! maybe it'll work. i'll let you know
