EliasXP Posted February 8, 2005 Author Share Posted February 8, 2005 I know that you can do that, but i would like to slipstream it. Because that looks professional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewdatrip Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 You can always hide the installer so the user would not see it installin...As for slimstreaming it im not sure you can do it..|Drew| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 you can't, without going through and creating your own "Optional Component" and then recreating the instalation routine.If it was DirectX, then yes, but MSN messenger was never present on the disc, and Windows Messenger is too different.

EliasXP Posted February 8, 2005 Author Share Posted February 8, 2005 So , this is impossible ( for the moment)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 So , this is impossible ( for the moment)?seems so, unless you can get the sysoc.inf to run another inf which in turn executes the msn messenger's MSI with switches.And all 3 files need to be copied over during setup (through txtsetup.sif).

McoreD Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 If Windows Messenger is installed with Windows XP, then MSN Messenger should be possible to slipstream I think. Time to compare WM files and MSNM files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was working with RyanVM awhile to find a way to get a few batch files to be executed from an INF. MSI isn't any different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
