jeeva Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 HelloI have the following CDs of Office 2003:CD 1: Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, Access, InfoPath, PowerPoint, Publisher)CD 2: FrontPageCD 3: OneNoteCD 4: Visio ProfessionalCD 5: Project ProfessionalIs there any possibility to merge all installations (one Installer lets you install everything), integrate SP2 and burn a DVD? Since all of them use the same Installer, that should be possible, isn't it?GreetzJeeva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HokieDawg Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I'm sure it is. I use 3 CD's, one for Office, one for Project, and one for Visio. I chain the SP's (See MS website and search for chaining updates) to allow for regular updating (instead of administrative updates w\slipstreaming). Each CD autoruns and does a silent install with SP2. I have used WPI (see unattended windows or user created projects forums) as a nice interface for installing multiple programs from a CD and DVD. It is very customizable to allow multiple installation versions, etc. and the interface is easy to use. Just check what you want installed and sit back and watch (assuming you have created silent installs!). It takes a little while to set it all up, but once you do it once, changing it for new versions or updates is quite simple. Give it a look!

-I- Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 (edited) I realy have no idea about how this would be dnone best, BUT, if i had to build sucht a cdrom, i would do the folowing. A: Create administrative installe point. and update to the laste service pack for officeB: Create office auto installer (*.mst files) per component like: word.mst exel.mst access.mst onenote.mst etc. C: Use office shrink proccess to create install sources for all the compoments. your going to use. (but dont 7zip them like proposes in the tutorial). D: Coppy all the install sources to a new folder (either, to the same or to a supfolder)example: [office] --- [word] > [i]word.mst setup.exe word.*[/i] --- [exel]> [i]exel.mst setup.exe exel.* [/i]or even [office]> [i]word.mst exel.mst setup.exe word.* exel.*[/i] etc.Just depends on what you want. E: As a last step just create a front end for your cdrom, either with a HTA (hypertext aplication (OOBE)) but for this id rather recomand Wait note: wait is a project that once came forth from the msfn forums but seams to be abandonware, im not the author, i dont have the source code and cant, n'or will be able to support, or fix buggs for wait. (if it doesn't work dont use it). wait was build by: bryanh Edited December 11, 2005 by -I- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
