Hey Buckeye, I'm glad to see that your script has help so many people. I'm still having trouble. I'm using a fresh install of WinXP on VMWare. No programs have been installed at all. When I run the script imediately I get this message: "For imformation on usage and command line parameters, see Setup.htm" Then office shrink appears to be doing it's thing. At the end I get I get a "Complete" dialog box that tells: Time to Complete: 7min New Space on disk: 7 MB Number of files copied: 0 Here are my log files: office: 2005-04-17 13:20:43 : 2005-04-17 13:20:43 : <--- LOG OPENED ---> 2005-04-17 13:20:45 : <--- Language Settings Chosen ---> 2005-04-17 13:20:45 : Language: English 2005-04-17 13:20:45 : language directory : 1033 2005-04-17 13:20:45 : retry : &Retry 2005-04-17 13:20:45 : Error window title : Microsoft Office 2005-04-17 13:20:45 : Error : Error 2005-04-17 13:20:53 : Office Source : c:\office\ 2005-04-17 13:20:59 : Office Target : C:\office shrunk\ 2005-04-17 13:21:07 : Office Setup EXE file : SETUP.EXE 2005-04-17 13:21:09 : Office Setup MST file : Unattended.MST 2005-04-17 13:21:09 : Setup File Version:11.0.5510.0 2005-04-17 13:21:09 : Setup File Version: Office 2003 2005-04-17 13:21:09 : <----------------------------------> 2005-04-17 13:21:09 : Source Files Necessicary for setup Copied to: C:\office shrunk\FILES\SETUP\*.* 2005-04-17 13:21:09 : . 2005-04-17 13:21:09 : .. 2005-04-17 13:21:09 : SETUP.INI 2005-04-17 13:21:09 : <----------------------------------> 2005-04-17 13:21:10 : <----------------------------------> 2005-04-17 13:21:10 : Source Files Necessicary for setup Copied to: C:\office shrunk\FILES\PFILES\MSOFFICE\OFFICE11\1033\011\*.* 2005-04-17 13:21:10 : . 2005-04-17 13:21:10 : .. 2005-04-17 13:21:10 : SKU011.XML 2005-04-17 13:21:10 : <----------------------------------> 2005-04-17 13:21:10 : <----------------------------------> 2005-04-17 13:21:10 : Source Files Necessicary for setup Copied to: C:\office shrunk\*.* 2005-04-17 13:21:10 : . 2005-04-17 13:21:10 : .. 2005-04-17 13:21:10 : AUTORUN.INF 2005-04-17 13:21:10 : FILES 2005-04-17 13:21:10 : OWC11.MSI 2005-04-17 13:21:10 : PRO11.MSI 2005-04-17 13:21:10 : README.HTM 2005-04-17 13:21:10 : SETUP.EXE 2005-04-17 13:21:10 : SETUP.HTM 2005-04-17 13:21:10 : Unattended.MST 2005-04-17 13:21:10 : <----------------------------------> 2005-04-17 13:21:10 : Command Run: C:\office shrunk\SETUP.EXE /qb /laceimow "C:\office2.log" TRANSFORMS=C:\office shrunk\Unattended.MST 2005-04-17 13:21:10 : <--- Exclamation Sound Muted/removed: %SystemRoot%\media\Windows XP Exclamation.wav 2005-04-17 13:21:10 : Waiting for 'Error' Window to become visible... 2005-04-17 13:28:10 : 'Error' Window visible. 2005-04-17 13:42:44 : <--- Shrinkage Complete ---> 2005-04-17 13:42:45 : <--- Exclamation Sound readded: %SystemRoot%\media\Windows XP Exclamation.wav 2005-04-17 13:42:45 : <--- TIME Shrink Program running: 22 min 2005-04-17 13:42:45 : <--- NEW SIZE ON DISK: 7 MB 2005-04-17 13:42:45 : <---LOG CLOSED --> 2005-04-17 13:42:45 : office2 C:\office2.log Detected Windows Info: PlatformId = 2 MajorVersion = 5 MinorVersion = 1 ServicePackLevel = 2 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Launch Setup 4/17/2005 1:21:10 PM Recognized command line switch qb Recognized command line switch laceimow ** Switching to new log file passed on command line. ** 4/17/2005 1:21:10 PM Found property assignment: TRANSFORMS=C:\office Found property name: shrunk\Unattended.MST, but did not find equal sign.
