BoardBabe Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Is it possible to have windows NOT install outlook express? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 You can actually remove it from the installation process using nLite (or another app), but otherwise Windows will install Outlook Express. However, even though the files are on the hard disk after Windows installation finishes, you can hide it by including OEAccess = NO in the [Components] section of your winnt.sif file.

mc134 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 The command in WINNT.SIF that works for me is OEaccess=off under the Components section. To make sure that no shortcuts are created after first reboot for all users and all created users after that add these registry entries:;Remove Address Book 6 StubPath[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{7790769C-0471-11d2-AF11-00C04FA35D02}]"Version"="6,0,2600,0000"@="Address Book 6""IsInstalled"=dword:00000001"Locale"="EN""ComponentID"="WAB""StubPath"=-"HideStubPath"=hex(2):22,00,25,00,50,00,72,00,6f,00,67,00,72,00,61,00,6d,00,46,\ 00,69,00,6c,00,65,00,73,00,25,00,5c,00,4f,00,75,00,74,00,6c,00,6f,00,6f,00,\ 6b,00,20,00,45,00,78,00,70,00,72,00,65,00,73,00,73,00,5c,00,73,00,65,00,74,\ 00,75,00,70,00,35,00,30,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00,65,00,22,00,20,00,2f,00,41,00,\ 50,00,50,00,3a,00,57,00,41,00,42,00,20,00,2f,00,43,00,41,00,4c,00,4c,00,45,\ 00,52,00,3a,00,57,00,49,00,4e,00,4e,00,54,00,20,00,2f,00,75,00,73,00,65,00,\ 72,00,20,00,2f,00,69,00,6e,00,73,00,74,00,61,00,6c,00,6c,00,00,00;Remove Outlook Express 6StubPath[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\>{881dd1c5-3dcf-431b-b061-f3f88e8be88a}]@="Outlook Express""ComponentID"="OEACCESS""Dontask"=dword:00000002"IsInstalled"=dword:00000000"Locale"="*""Version"="2,0,0,0""StubPath"=-"HideStubPath"=hex(2):25,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,72,00,6f,00,6f,\ 00,74,00,25,00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,\ 73,00,68,00,6d,00,67,00,72,00,61,00,74,00,65,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00,65,00,20,\ 00,4f,00,43,00,49,00,6e,00,73,00,74,00,61,00,6c,00,6c,00,55,00,73,00,65,00,\ 72,00,43,00,6f,00,6e,00,66,00,69,00,67,00,4f,00,45,00,00,00;Remove Mail_News Stubpath[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{44BBA840-CC51-11CF-AAFA-00AA00B6015C}]"Version"="6,0,2900,2180"@="Microsoft Outlook Express 6""IsInstalled"=dword:00000001"Locale"="EN""ComponentID"="MailNews""CloneUser"=dword:00000001"StubPath"=-"HideStubPath"=hex(2):22,00,25,00,50,00,72,00,6f,00,67,00,72,00,61,00,6d,00,46,\ 00,69,00,6c,00,65,00,73,00,25,00,5c,00,4f,00,75,00,74,00,6c,00,6f,00,6f,00,\ 6b,00,20,00,45,00,78,00,70,00,72,00,65,00,73,00,73,00,5c,00,73,00,65,00,74,\ 00,75,00,70,00,35,00,30,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00,65,00,22,00,20,00,2f,00,41,00,\ 50,00,50,00,3a,00,4f,00,45,00,20,00,2f,00,43,00,41,00,4c,00,4c,00,45,00,52,\ 00,3a,00,57,00,49,00,4e,00,4e,00,54,00,20,00,2f,00,75,00,73,00,65,00,72,00,\ 20,00,2f,00,69,00,6e,00,73,00,74,00,61,00,6c,00,6c,00,00,00Hope this helps!

cluberti Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Yes, it should be OFF.I'll actually stop and check my own winnt.sif file one day instead of just answering things off of the top of my head someday, I promise . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
