Recommended Posts


Ppl, it doesn't help :(

1. I'm installing WinXp On VirtualPc2004 (after mading 2 HDDs for VirtualPc)

2. Installing Office2003 on D: using: "setup /a"

2. Slipstreaming as it's written in the manual (http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/office2003_slipstreaming.htm)

3. Slipstreaming also some other updates >>>

office2003-kb870774-fullfile-enu.exe,

office2003-kb887982-fullfile-enu.exe,

office2003-kb890854-fullfile-ENU.exe,

No errors, everything excellent.

4. Installing Office 2003 Resource Kit, making unattended.mst as it's shown on Unattended.mst.jpg (I Attached),

Word.Mst, Excel.Mst..... with the detailed setting I want. (Including Serial >>> CDKey.Jpg)

5. Installing Office2003 to be sure source's working. Here's the command:

setup.exe TRANSFORMS=D:\Office2003\unattended.MST /qb- (Office2003.Jpg).

Everything is excellent !

6. Rebooting, Formatting C:, Installing WinXp once more 'cus after installing Office2003 it's not Clean Installation.

7. After installing I have "Windows Xp Proff." on C: and "Slipstreamed Office 2003 Administrative" on D: (Second HDD)

8. Trying to Shrink using Word.Mst...(

Source="D:\Office2003\",

Target="D:\Word\",

Setup.Exe="D:\Office2003\Setup.Exe"

*.Mst="D:\Office2003\Word.mst")

9. It gives a lot of errors like this >>> Error 1308 (Some Files in D:\Word\... are not found) :(

(Some Of that Errors are attached >>> Error 1.Jpg, Error 2.Jpg, Error 3.Jpg)

What to do ?

Asta > I'm reading U'r topic and the same problem has r0sWell

thx for this great guide.

Office Shrinker doesn't work on my computer (i always have error 1308 : shrinker can't find the file he needs to copy, and the only solution i had was to copy each file from source to target folder when asked....yes i know it's completly  and it took me 1h30)

i have office 2003.

at last it worked, but my office.exe takes 84.4MB.

84.4MB with only Word, Excel, PPT, most of Shared office components, and most of Office Tools.

to make a 36MB file, have you deleted completely Office2003 tools and shared office components ??

(such as VB Tools, web hosting, and all other things)

and titou2k
@r0sWell

Same problem here but I do not have patience to copy all the files manually. 

I mean error 1308 !

is that before or after the 7zip method?

before compress with 7zip, it takes 219MB

and 84.4MB compressed with 7zip using "Ultra" parameter.

but i think i can't shrink it more, unless removing tools or shared components.

i've just kept word, excel, powerpoint, and most of the office tools and shared components. it's the minimum for me i think.

10x ppl, I got it......

I was thinking that the errors that I got was my mistakes, but I learned the way it's working.

thanks a lot. now I'm making My Office :)

P.S. is it normal that compressing of 70Mb Takes 1:30 hour ?
