fdv Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 well, let's do a runaround the problem.1. open SYSSETUP.IN_2. find [ProductCatalogsToInstall]3. comment out DTCSETUP.CAT with a semicolon4. open TXTSETUP.SIF and LAYOUT.INF5. comment out DTCSETUP.CAT with a semicolon in both6. save and close them alli don't know what the cause of the problem is, but this should take care of it for now.

saugatak Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I created an HFSLIP, FDV fileset (i.e., no IE, no OE, etc.) with languages and drivers nLited out. This build also removed DTC.Here's what I was able to install and run:1. Office 2003 (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) - obviously no Outlook b/c OE is out2. 7 Zip3. Acronis True Image 94. AdAware5. Open-source Windows Media, Real and QuickTime alternatives plus codecs6. CrapCleaner7. EasyCleaner2 (free and good registry cleaner)8. Firefox 1.079. Thunderbird 1.0710. IrfanView11. nLite12. nod32 anti-virus13. O&O Defrag14. Sygate Personal Firewall15. Unclean 216. WinFax17. Nero 6.6.0.1618. TimeMatters (practice management software)Here's what I was able to install but not run:1. QuickBooks 2004 (said I needed IE6 to run but installed fine) - I ran IEPatcher on it, didn't work.Here's what I was not even able to install1. WordPerfect (supposedly needs Windows Scripting Host)2. Adobe Acrobat 7 - said I needed IE5.5 or higher3. PaperPort Pro 9 - said I neede IE4 or higherIn conclusion, I don't think you really need DTC for anything unless you're doing databasing work. I'm gonna make an FDV'd fileset that doesn't have either DTC or COM (but will have Windows Scripting Host) to see if COM makes a difference or not.Unfortunately, on my main computer it looks like I'll have to leave IE in there since I need Quickbooks, Acrobat 7 and PaperPort 9. On my old laptop which I take around for travel, I'll install modified FDV Win2k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdv Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 actually, commenting out just the CAT from these 3 files should leave DTC alone, i believe. if the file is commented out of SYSSETUP, windows won't think it needs a CATalog file, and will, i think, install DTC anyway.as saugatak discovered of course it doesnt seem to make much difference. (ahh, quickbooks, bane of our existence) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
