Exclude component's

[MADIKKE]

Greetings again,

WooW! I almost finished my XP completed unattended install

There's only 2 things

I don't want it to install msn 4.7 and outlook express, how can I do that?

I already saw about the [Components] in the guide but I can't find outlook express

I would look like this in my winnt.sif right ?

[Components]

msmsgs=off

msnexplr=off

EDIT-->

I also want it NO to make any "Shared folders (Gedeelde Documenten)" or My music/My pictures (Mijn muziek/Mijn afbeeldingen), how can I do THAT ?

tnx guys

those component still install for me...

maybe someone will say it work...

what i do is...

use a batch file and

RD /S /Q "%ProgramFiles%\\MSN" >NUL

RD /S /Q "%ProgramFiles%\\Messenger" >NUL

del "%allusersprofile%\Start Menu\Programs\Windows Messenger.lnk" >nul

del "%allusersprofile%\start menu\Programs\MSN.lnk" >nul

The bolded values will remove MSN Messenger and Outlook Express (well, it hides OE). However, I have not found the OEAccess value to be 100% effective. In that case, you could set another program to be the default email handler via the [shell] section of WINNT.SIF, or you could write a VBS script to remove Outlook Express like so:

' *** Begin Script ***

Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

DesktopPath = WSHShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop")

StartMenuPath = WSHShell.SpecialFolders("StartMenu")

Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

on error resume next

OEIcon = StartMenuPath & "\Programs\Intern~1\Outlook Express.lnk"

fs.DeleteFile(OEIcon),true

OEIcon = DesktopPath & "\Outlook Express.lnk"

fs.DeleteFile(OEIcon),true

OEIcon = StartMenuPath & "\Programs\Outlook Express.lnk"

fs.DeleteFile(OEIcon),true

ProfilePath = Left(DesktopPath,Len(DesktopPath)-8)

Quick="\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch"

QuickLaunchPath = ProfilePath & Quick

OEIcon = QuickLaunchPath & "\Launch Outlook Express.lnk"

fs.DeleteFile(OEIcon),true

' *** EOF ***

@Cluberti - OEAccess specifies whether to install visible entry points to Outlook Express.

Syntax OEAccess = On | Off (default is On)

On - Installs visible entry points to Outlook Express.

Off - Does not install visible entry points to Outlook Express.

I'm well aware of this, but I've found it to not work 100% of the time. Therefore, I still use my script . However, you are correct - OEAccess does hide OE.

Here is a re edit script that cluberti has provided I have made it a little smaller

I can not test it as wrote it on Vista and need OE to access the newsgroups for

this.

This color is safe to remove from the script

With out OE Pin To Start Menu

Dim Act, AData, Fso, DTop, Smenu, OeDel

Set Act = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Dtop = Act.SpecialFolders("Desktop")

Smenu = Act.SpecialFolders("StartMenu")

AData = Act.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%Appdata%")

Set Fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

'''' ARRAY TO DELETE THE OE SHORTCUTS

OeDel = Array((Smenu & "\Programs\Outlook Express.lnk"),_

(Dtop & "\Outlook Express.lnk"),(Smenu & "\Programs\Outlook Express.lnk"),_

(AData & "\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Launch Outlook Express.lnk"))

For Each strDel In OeDel

If Fso.FileExists(strDel) Then

Act.Popup strDel, 3,"Delete", 0 + 32

Fso.DeleteFile(strDel),True

End if

next

With OE Pinned to start menu

Dim Act, AData, Fso, DTop, OeDel, SD, Smenu,OE_Prog, Folder, FolderItem, Shell

OE_Prog = (SD & "\Program Files\Outlook Express")

Set Folder = Shell.Namespace(OE_Prog) : Set FolderItem = Folder.ParseName("msimn.exe")
