4tune Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 I downloaded "Office 2003 Sp1 Admin" and other administrative upadates and slipstreamed with Office 2003.Made 7 .mst-s > Word.mst, excel, access, powerpoint, outlook, publisher and infopath.mst .It look's like in picture I attached !Here's the problem > I can't shrink it 1. When "shrink_lang02.exe" asks for "Office Source", I enter "C:\Office2003\" (It's the place of slipstreamed "Office 2003 Sp1 Admin", it's not the normal "Office 2003 Proff.").2. When it asks for "Office Target", I enter "C:\Office\" (empty directory).3. For "Office Setup Exe" >>> "C:\Office2003\Setup.Exe".4. For Mst file >>> "C:\Office2003\Word.Mst" (it's the mst to install only word).after that it begins:1. Gathering required info...2. and after that gives a lot of errors like >>> "Setup cannot find the required file C:\office\FILES\PFILES\COMMON\MSSHARED\OFFICE11\USP10.DLL".3. Shrinking complete message, or something like that.4. canceling... (running back).after this:"c:\office\" is 66.2 Mb-s. Sometimes it's 7Mb not depending what mst am I using.I'm renaming Word.mst to unattended.mst,deleting other mst-s,copying Installer.exe,archiving all in that folder with 7z (when the size is 66.2 Mb, archiving freezes at 48% and nothing can be done, so I'm terminating),deleting all except Office.7z,renaming Office.7z to Word.7z,extracting finish.exe,running command: copy /b 7zs.sfx + config.txt + Word.7z Word.ExeWord.Exe is created ! Let's try to open !Error !Am I doing all right ?I guess no please help to correct who can......PS. It was interesting to see that before archiving I can install Word with this command:C:\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=C:\Office2003\Word.Mst /qb- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dahi Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 You need to figure out why 7zip freezes during compression. Can you compress other folders without errors? You might need to re-install 7Zip, or try WinRar instead?If you can install Word from C:\Office then it has been slipstreamed correctly. Try this to check.C:\Office\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.Mst /qbYour size of 66Mb looks about right for a Word installation. If the size of C:\Office is only 7Mb it means that shrink didnt work, try again (probably parts of Office were installed on the PC, so you'll have to do a clean install of WinXP, or preferably revert to a snapshot in VMware) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keytotime Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 @ Dahi The office is not properly slipstreamed. That is the problem, 7-zip does not work because he has a messed up office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4tune Posted January 27, 2005 Author Share Posted January 27, 2005 Office is slipstreamed correctly because I can install anything (word, excel, powerpoint, outlook, publisher infopath...) using it's .mst using command:C:\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=c:\office2003\Word.Mst /qb (It's normal installing) 7z work's fine, I can compress anything...I think all the problem is with shrink_lang02.exe (everything is ok before I use shrink_lang02.exe)...can You send me the script, maybe I can understand & correct my problems if I see what is it doing and how...
