prathapml Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Question: Why does this have to be run on a clean install of XP? Well, it runs the office setup, and sees which files are needed to be copied to install it. And keeps those alone and dumps the files that you don't need (because many of the files are older versions than comes with XP, and files for older versions of windows)If you were to have already had office installed, an example is unicows.dll which you'd already have installed (when you re-install office, the residue files won't be copied over again). So then office-shrink will not notice that file is needed to be copied during a fresh re-install - and when you install a "shrunk" office source on a fresh windows install, you will see that complaint of a DLL missing.

MCT Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 nice idea! ill test it out soon!, it'd be nice 2 have a tool like nlite for office Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charmin Deluxe Posted January 23, 2005 Author Share Posted January 23, 2005 hmmm k wait guys. i think i'm nearly finished with the new nlite like method. just give me one or two days. if anybody of you could send me the aip (admin install point) msi's of other office versions, it would be much easier to add support for office 2k/xp (other languages are also interesting)mail: charmin-deluxe@freakmail.dethxedit:does anyone know a commandline tool that extracts tables of msi files or a tool for exporting mst settings into a txt file or something like that?
