Remove outlook express

[trouble]

I'm creating a new unattended XP cd with drivers, applications and regtweaks but I have 2 problems,

1. I don't know how to remove Outlook Express, disabling it under the [Components] tab doesn't seem to work and a regtweak only removes the icons in the start menu .. Is there a way to fully remove Outlook Express without doing any harm?

2. After installing windows and the drivers my screen often goes black and stays black. I have to reboot my pc before I can login and the cd installs my regtweaks.

specifications of the pc are:

Dell Optiplex gx260

512mb-ram

Pentium 4 1,8ghz

I hope one of you guys can help me, I searched all over the forum but couldnt for a proper solution for my problem

I used Nlite, but when I opened the winnt.sif file we couldn't see how Nlite did exactly remove Outlook.

Might be due to a refresh rate your setting in winnt.sif. If you set it too high your monitor screen will just go black.

EDIT: nlite doesnt use the winnt.sif to remove outlook express it will use some kind of file deletion etc. Im not really sure but I dont think its done in the sif.

Using unattend you can remove Outlook Express, if you specify in

[Components]

OEAccess=Off

Well, it will not exactly remove it, just remove every shortcut from computer - which is better, because sometime you use OE objects

So its really impossible to disable Outlook Express from installing on the Windows Setup?

Edit: And a lower refresh rate isn't working, it still shows the black screen, only my mouse pointer is still visible.

Yep, I got it on all workstations...

The problem is we have to use Microsoft Outlook, and OEAcces in the winnt.sif files isnt working. The shortcut on the start menu is still there.

This is directly from my unattend.txt:

[Components]

OEAccess = off

All my customers are using Outlook, not OE...

ok, now only the problem with the blackscreen to be solved.
