@maniaq you have to create an administrative access point first. run setup.exe /a

yes, i know it has been a while. Finals this week then ill let you guys play with it. it is almost done except for a few little things.

just use a semicolon. ;blah blah

yes

All this program does is take out what you do not want to install. Therefore you contol your own destiny. If 288mb isnt good enough for you leave something else out. Besides i think that 288 is much better than 600+ actuall if you dont install office there should not be a need to reformat. I dont know what to tell you about 7zip are you sure you used the highest compression? Other than that i dont really know how much smaller you can make it unless you take more out. Everybodys results are different. Dont go expecting the best results when you have an entirely different configuration.

i checked your log files and i couldnt find any problems. what exactly is the error that you are getting and when do you get it. [edit] I must have missed all of the fun earlier oh well.... [/edit]

hello everyone... i know it has been a while... Im cooking up something new, a bigger and better office shrink: Ability to create an Administrative Installation Point Slipstream service packs and other updates Obviously the ability to shrink office Hopefully ability to 7zip baised on Astalavista's guide I just started working on this, it is about 25% done. No promises yet but i want to try and eliminate the need to run shrink on a clean system (i.e.: virtual machine) and hopefully eliminate language problems. ill keep everybody posted with my progress...

haha i dont know... but i know for sure that SimonSays managed to shrink the spanish version of office. He was the impetus for me to make a multilengual version of shrink.

umm did you read the link that i gave you above?? That will tell you exactly how to install office after windows is installed. As for aim... did you try searching for your solution in the forums? I am sure somebody has repacked AIM before. Nobody is going to give you "exactly how you ask" but they can point you in the right direction to figure it out for youself. Search, read, and then ask questions. Dont come here expecting everybody to do it for you.

yeah that is the right method.... i dont know why it is not working. are the error messages in english or spanish?

i believe all of the settings for aim are stored in the registry. i have installed aim with all of my preferences preset unattended before. i would tell you the location but i dont know it off the top of my head. just search the registry for it. As far as office goes go here

That is the command to use your unattended answer file to install office with.

How about a multi-disk plug in... i still havent sprung for a DVD-R.

i also removed the file that you said had a virus. it isnt necessicary and probably caused some confusion to people anyway. And if it did have a virus i have no idea how it got there.

@puntoMX: if there is a setup error about parameters it should show up in one of the microsoft log files. there are three log files created when you run this. i dont know how there could be incorrect parameters. i know that SimonSays got this to work for the spanish version of office. so... send me your logs just for the hell of it.
