Office 2000/XP/2003/2007 Slipstreamer, version 1.5.5

Features:

- Creating administrative installation of your Office (Enterprise edition required, limitation created by Microsoft, Retail users - to bypass it, look here);
- Slipstreaming service packs into your administrative Office installation;
- Slipstreaming hotfixes into your administrative Office installation (Internet connection not required, no any database required);
- Creating Chained Installations;
- Unblocking Outlook attachments;
- Unblocking blocked format in Office 2003 SP3.

Supported products:

- Microsoft Office 2000 (CD1 and CD2);
- Microsoft Office XP;
- Microsoft Project 2002;
- Microsoft Frontpage 2002;
- Microsoft Office 2003:
- Microsoft FrontPage 2003;
- Microsoft Visio 2003;
- Microsoft Project 2003;
- Microsoft OneNote 2003;
- Microsoft Office 2007.

New version is out, version 1.5.5. Read changelog for changes.

In this version Office 2007 support is added. This is not real slipstream, Service Packs and hotfixes will be just extracted to Updates folder. Process of slipstreaming is tested with Standard and Enterprise edition. In order to improve support for Office 2007, I need list of files of all Office 2007 editions (except Standard and Enterprise), so when you load your Office 2007 into Slipstreamer, in root folder of the tool will be created file "Office2007FileList.txt". To help me, please upload this file for me.
Also, this version provides enhanced product support, which should provide support for every Office product that Microsoft released in year 2002 and 2003. This could also provide support for future service packs (if any). Enhanced database creating will finally solve problems with WU/MU, since I do not need to create database.reg anymore. Everything will be now done automatically, and all info for hotfixes.reg will be written using informations from hotfix you are slipstreaming.

Hi Mara

Tested v1.5 beta 4:
- Slipstreamed SP3 and hotfixes
- Integrated one patch with chained install
- Created new .MST for unattended install
- Installed unattended Office
- Checked with MS Update

Everything went very good except for one thing:
One character is wrong in the hotfix registry updates:

Currently it the Slipstreamer updates with:
...\Products\D140110D00063D11C8EF10054038389C\...

Should be
...\Products\D140110900063D11C8EF10054038389C\...

Attaching the registry entries for Swedish Enterprise edition (suppose you have them since before).
Attaching an updated Swedish translation for v1.5 beta4.

Note that there are some minor cosmetic things that should be corrected for the translation support.
- Under File (main) there is an option, Delete log History, which is hardcoded I guess. It is not in the language file.
- Under Options and Help there are other options not represented in the language file.
- Field Product Informations is represented in the language file (L123) but showed in English after translation.
- Same with Edition Type (L122).
- Tried to change my translation of L76 but the old text is still showed.

Cheers
mara-
Thanks for language update. And yes, you are correct, there is a small error with database writing. I already fixed it. I made an error with language file (English). Just move L123 and L122 under [Label]. And I'll check for "Delete log History" and other menus. New beta is probably out tonight.

Cheers newwink.gif

EDIT: With L76 everything is fine. New English file is uploaded in first post. Some new words will not have effect until beta 5 is out, and beta 5 will be out in a few hours.

EDIT2: English file uploaded again. I forgot to add some lines.
mara-
Version 1.5 Final is out. I decided to go with final version instead of beta 5, since I think that all bugs are fixed. If anyone find some bug, I'll fix it, and new version will be immediately published.

Hi Mara

Tested v1.5 Final.

Two error occurences:
- The Registry update for KB943452 is wrong for the Swedish edition of Office 2003.
The slipstreamer updates with
...\Patches\F6900B7701894B74297DE043C1A5E5EC]
Should be
...\Patches\D78E1F6C1E3F478479CE8FD7BAD68687]
- Chained Install didn't work. The Patch (Compatibility patch for Office 2007) was added to folder
\FILES\SEUP\ChainedInstall_1 correctly. This can also be seen in the log but the the patch wasn't
installed directly after Office.
This worked in v1.5 beta4.

Otherwise everything was perfect.

Attaching a new swedish translation based on v1.5 Final.

Cheers rolleyes.gif
mara-
For the KB943452, I can not do anything, you will have to change it manually in database. Some updates like KB943452 are different because of language, but that is very rare.

And for the chain install is very strange, I did not change anything related to that. Can you try once more, just load same office into slipstreamer, use "Delete all" button and then add chain install again.

Cheers newwink.gif
schakan
Pity with KB943452 but no problem, I'll add it manually.

Yes, it's strange with Chained Install. Now I have slipstreamed/installed Office twice with
same result; the patch is added to ChainedInstall_1 but not installed.

When I was doing these tests I noticed that the "Admin install location" is remembered by
the Slipstreamer but not always the "Product Key" when ticked.

Cheers unsure.gif
mara-
Can you attach Setuppro.ini from FILES/SETUP after you add Chain Install, and attach for me few of your last logs?

Cheers newwink.gif
schakan
Here we go.
mara-
@schakan

Chain install is working fine. I told you to re-create it. Use "Delete all" button and then add again chained install. You don't need to do service pack and hotfix slipstream again, just do this with chained install.

Now, if you do a hotfix slipstream, then chained install needs to be added after slipstream is finished. Adding chained install don't depends on button "Start". As soon as you press button "Add" chain install is added. So, after you finish slipstream, then add chain install. This is necessary to do after slipstream because original SETUP.exe is moved to FILES/SETUP folder and other path is used, and because you added chain before slipstream (when original SETUP.exe was in root folder) path will become wrong after original SETUP.exe is moved to mentioned folder. I'll try implement some check for this so Slipstreamer automatically correct the path.

Cheers newwink.gif
schakan
Actually I used "Delete all" button both times but your second phrase explains why it failed.
What I have done every time, except for yesterday, is to enter needed information tab by
tab (1st Slipstreamer input, 2nd ChainedInstall input with push on the Add button) and then
pressed Start in the first tab.
Good to know, will never happen again.

Good if you can do a check in the program for this. Also good if the panes could have som
brief information/guidelines about this.

Thanks a lot and cheers.
mara-
Glad that we cleared that. Thanks for all help and testings. Just if you did not noticed I gave you credit for help in About tab. I think that when I implement this check (I already made it, testing it now), additional informations about chain install won't be necessary.

It works with all Enterprise versions, and if you don't have that edition, follow the guide you mentioned. And no, there is no any negative impact, that will just allow you creating administrative install.

Great.
On the Updates list, for Office Pro Enterprise Edition 2003, all of those updates will work with Office Basic 2003 except the Security Update for Publisher 2003 (KB946254) because there is no Publisher with basic, right?

And, if I burn the resulting slipstreamed admin install to a disc, will I have to enter the product key again, even though I already entered it when I first made the Admin install?

I know I am asking A LOT of questions, but thanks for your help so far!

All updates should work, but if some is not made for your office, slipstream for that update will fail (you will see that on log tab).

I'm glad that you like the program.
You can not slipstream Compatibility Pack, but you can add it to chain install (second tab) with some silent switch, and Compatibility pack will be installed after Office Installation is finished. Read more about this in help file under "Useful informations".

Cheers ;)

Ok, I think I will try the Chained Install. The Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats has a service pack available, Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack Service Pack 1 (SP1). Would I do a Chained Install with the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats then the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack Service Pack 1 (SP1), or could I somehow slipstream SP1 into the Compatibility Pack, then add the slipstreamed version to the Chained Install. Also, what is a silent switch, I am pretty new to all of this slipstreaming stuff.

After I make all of these files, I can just burn the contents of my new OFFICE11 folder to a CD then run Setup.exe from the disc and it will install right? Or do I have to use some type of ISO program?

Thanks.

Would I do a Chained Install with the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats then the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack Service Pack 1 (SP1), or could I somehow slipstream SP1 into the Compatibility Pack, then add the slipstreamed version to the Chained Install. Also, what is a silent switch, I am pretty new to all of this slipstreaming stuff.

After I make all of these files, I can just burn the contents of my new OFFICE11 folder to a CD then run Setup.exe from the disc and it will install right? Or do I have to use some type of ISO program?

Thanks.


You can not slipstream SP1 to Compatibility Pack. Just add to chain install first Compatibility Pack and then SP1 for it.
Silent switch is switch which will allow you to install some software without user input, silently. When adding Compatibility Pack and SP1 for a switch choose "Custom" and the enter this:

Wow, that was easier than I imagined.

no iso program needed. just burn all the files back to the cd and your done. you are probably thinking of the XP slipstream process where you have to use an ISO program to make the cd bootable. office doesnt require this since you can't boot from the Office CD

I used the program and the slipstreaming of SP3 and the remaining updates went fine. When I tried to install it though I got the "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Infopath.SemiTrust.dll not found please enter cd".

Any ideas?

This is some king of bug with InfoPath. Can you upload you log, so I can see what did you do? Also, is the CD which you used was clean (no SP and hotfixes integrated before)?

The CD is Office Professional 2003 Enterprise edition with SP2. I don't remember if I was the one that slipstreamed SP2 or if it was like that when I acquired the disk. Any ideas as to how I can find out?
