gavinnelson Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Hi I am using Nlite to ReInstall Windows XP Pro on every computer in my domain. I am using this, this year because I am getting tried of Norton Ghoast, it takes too long the the out comes are not always good. Normally I Install Office over the Network using Group Policy but I am having to much trouble with it, plus you have to do volume license agreements and I just don't like that. I run a gigantic domain in several locations but I want to do it in just one office. Like I said normally I would do it by OU but I want to try this. So is it possible for me to add Setup.exe from office and have it install with out me doing anything. I would also like to install WinZip. How might I do this.Thanks,Gavin NelsonSystems Administrator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxkohl Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 (edited) you should obtain Microsoft's "Office Resource Kit" and create a customized install package (an .MST file). then, you can call setup.exe to run unattendantly (exact syntax is explained through the customization tool).I've never tried that myself, but I guess that through nLite you'd call it by the RunOnce tab. I THINK (somebody correct me here?) that it's being called at the same phase of GUIRunOnce (same section?) where MS says it's safe to call Windows-Installer-based setups.(actually, you'd might add it yourself into a [GUIRunOnce] section of your resulting I386\WINNT.SIF file and see if it installs correctly).Good luck, please post results! I'm curious Edited June 23, 2007 by maxkohl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavinnelson Posted June 24, 2007 Author Share Posted June 24, 2007 As I network administrator I get really angry when I am reading a guide and even I have no idea how to do it. I did however find something in one of these forms that got it done. Nlite Add-On maker. It allowed me to take office even uncompressed and put it on the XP disc to automagically install. I also did it with WinZop and MusicMatch It is pretty cool! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madhits45 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 hey gavinelson, can u please point or post the link where u got that nlite addon maker? I also want to install office 2003 automatically. thanks.Does that addon maker allow for compression/removal of parts of office? What about use with office 2007. I have a 7zipped 2003 install that is only 230mb and I use that to install with my xp disc. I would like to get office 2007 and try to make the same thing. I would also like the link to that app to see what it can do.THANKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
