i only want to install word, outlook and power point, so..i dont need the others applications with comes with office 2010..

is any way to delete what i dont need and make my office 2010 installation more light?

what i want to do, is make an unnatended version of windows7, and in the same dvd, add office 2010.

but my win7 ue has 3,8gb, and the dvd of office 2010 has 1,6gb. So i cant have the complete office installation on a one dvd with win7 unnatended.

there was an application to delete what you didnt want for office 2003, does it exist for office 2010?

I have no idea how to delete stuff from office 2k10 but you can tell it what you do and dont want installed by creating a config.xml or running setup.exe /admin to create a cusom .msp with your choices

I use the MSDN version that is under 700MB with my config.xml because setup.exe /admin is not supported, here is my .xml (I only install Word and Exel the rest including French proofing tools are turned off)

<Configuration Product="ProPlusr">

	<Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" />

	<!-- <Command Path="%windir%\system32\msiexec.exe" Args="/i \\server\share\my.msi" QuietArg="/q" ChainPosition="after" Execute="install" /> -->

</Configuration>

To run it use:

setup.exe /config NameOfFile.xml

thanks ricktendo!

which are the differences between using a config.xml instead of setup.exe /admin?

i dont know where i can get the MSDN version

700mb! that is what im needing!

[ricktendo]

setup /admin is GUI based, config.xml is done by hand (look inside ProPlusr.WW for a example config.xml)

setup /admin is only for VL version of Office. If there is a Admin folder in the source iso you can use the GUI. Otherwise you have the retail version.

Cloferba,
As another option to removing components, why don't you remove the version of office you're not using. My Office 2010 DVD shows both an x86 and x64 folder. Each folder has it's own setup.exe. So if you're creating a 32-bit unattended, why not remove the x64 folder from the Office media?

[cloferba]

thanks to everyone!

so, there are no so many differences...the installations and customize options through the xml file and the /admin way are the same i think...

so, if it is too difficult to find the VL version of Office, i will look for create the .xml file

thank you very much

[ricktendo]

If you go with the vl version use /admin, its easier, with config.xml you have to look for the names of the features to turn them off

[Maeggor]

cloferba when you make that NameOfFile.xml could you put it to I can i see it to make my own customize installation

Thanks

Is there some sort command for office 2010 to load the exact names? (like you can do with DISM for win7)
Im using Professional Plus, but I dont want OneNote/Groove/Infopath, the first two I found in your post, but I cant find the Infopath one.

Hi all,

I'm at the same stage as cloferba.
I had used Office Shrinker [reduce source of o2k3/xp/2k]it works like a charm by downsizing Office 2003 to 140MB (Word, Excel, Outlook and Powerpoint).

This time I've Office 2010 Pro Plus, and lookin for downsizing it by using only want to install Word, Excel, Outlook and Powerpoint.

So anyone get success to shrink Office 2010?
If so, what process used?

Hello!
You can use OCT include inside your Office version to make an .msp file for silent installation.
Maybe it's possible to delete the unwanted programs with:
%systemdrive%\Office_2010\Setup.exe /uninstall
and specifie inside the file config.xml the ID of the programs you don't want install?
Some help here:
Config.xml file
Office customization tool
Setup command-line options for Office 2010
Extract:

Quote

To modify the OptionState element
1.Open the Config.xml file in a text editor tool such as Notepad.
2.Locate the line in Config.xml that contains the OptionState element, as shown in the following example:

<!-- <OptionState Id="OptionID" State="absent" Children="force" /> -->

3.Modify the OptionState element entry by specifying the options that you want to use. For example, use the following syntax if you do not want Microsoft Publisher 2010 to be installed:
<OptionState Id="PubPrimary" State="Absent" />
4.Repeat the previous step to specify OptionState options for other features and subfeatures that you want to change.
5.Save the Config.xml file.

I hope that can help you!

TNX myselfidem for yr reply,

I have already find the allmost required infos. I've also added the /Admin folder to my Office ProPlus .iso. So I can run "setup /admin" (OCT).

Right now I'm looking for how to add a Langpack (NOT ProofingTools.

Hello coucou
I've found some help about "AddLanguage": Config.xml in Office 2010
Extract:

Quote

If an administrator specifies multiple languages for installation in the Config.xml file, the Shell UI language must be selected from the set of languages that are being installed. To do this, administrators specify the ShellTransform attribute of the AddLanguage element in the Config.xml file. AddLanguage specifies the language that Setup uses for the Shell UI. However, this will not necessarily affect the choice of Setup UI or Office UI when it is installed on the user’s computer.

For example, if you have an Office image with English, French, German, and Spanish, to specify that Setup install full language support for all these languages and have the Shell UI follow the user’s default regional options, you add the following elements in the Config.xml file.

<AddLanguage Id="match" ShellTransform="yes"/> <AddLanguage Id="en-us" /> <AddLanguage Id="fr-fr" /> <AddLanguage Id="de-de" /> <AddLanguage Id="es-es" />

Example.
<AddLanguage Id="en-us" ShellTransform="Yes" />

Hi all,

I got success building the whole Office 2010 Pro Plus silent install. 687 MB.

Unfortunately, I can’t reduce it
When I suppressed Access, Infopath, Publisher, Groove and the NL, DE, AR Proofing tool language (reduced to 561 MB), I got "Setup Error; The language of this package is not handled by the system” message (translated from French).
In fact, when setup is running it scan all the components, if any is missed Igot the message above.

Just as when I modified XD:\Office2010\Proofing.fr-fr\setup.xml to handle an extra language, I got "Installation Error; the installation can not continue, a request file is damaged or missed…” message (translated from French).

I’ll appreciate any help
Regards

Hello!
I've made some search about Office 2010.

The files "Config.xml" are differents for "Office 2010" and "Proofing Tools"!
I think you can't merge them!
There locations aren't the same:
Config.xml file in Office 2010
Plan for multilanguage deployment of Office 2010

Quote

To precache the local installation source for the Office 2010 Proofing Tools Kit, see Precache the local installation source for Office 2010. Use the Setup.exe and Config.xml files from the ProofKit.WW folder on the Office 2010 Proofing Tools Kit CD.

Could you send as attachment your "Config.xml" customized for Office 2010, don't forget to delete your key!?
Regards
