Hi beeker,

I created fix_tables_PTK.au3 to use the method described in Post #29 to solve problems with the directory table. (Some directorielocations are changed with the serive pack)

Although the fix described wasn't correlty (I just remembered) since the missing files are stored somwhere else, so fix_tables_PTK.au3 isn't exactly the same as described in Post #29 but I modified it like this:

directory:
CWUBI86HelpMidFolder.3630F825_EED5_11D3_91FE_00AA0059F9F6
change defaultdir to:
.:WUBI86
directory:
WordBreakerFolder.31D1FCD7_F3CA_4A73_B34D_CA95CAEAB62E
change defaultdir to:
. (instead of WORDBRKR)

Had forgotten about that, so i didn't mention it before...

Hopefully it helps,
Veger

Veger, that solved my problem perfectly. Thanks!

I updated my OfficeAIO.au3 script in previous post again to include an AutoIt function so the whole process is unnattended.

Much appreciated, Beeker.

Have you guys ever noticed after integrating the service pack, all the hotfixes, and having officeupdate.microsoft.com show 0 updates available, that for some reason windowsupdate.com still shows the updates you already have installed?

Is this an integration issue? Or is it just a problem with windowsupdate.com not detecting things right?

Thanks!

Yeah have seen this aswell nad it's kinda annoying, but I haven't come to a solution for it.
I thought someone posted this as well and said it has to do sometihng with the windowsupdate.com not detecting updates correctly.

I finished testing new features and bug fixes to my beef stew AIO scripts. I put the new beefstew.zip file on my original Post of Oct 2. You'll see the list of changes in the EDIT on that posting.

Successfully tested updating a CD that was previously updated by the same scripts.

I've been reducing the size of my AIO quite a bit too.
By integrating copycabs.cmd with sort2cabs.js I saved about 29 meg. (see description on my Oct 2 Post).

I also performed a one-time manual edit for Project Pro and Std that saves another 20 meg. Instructions are in the attached ProjectMerge.txt file. Microsoft updates can be applied to Project afterwards without having to re-do this edit.

Enjoy,

Beeker

Hello:

I hope this thread is still active.

I have downloaded the scripts, applications, and batch files, and followed the various versions of instructions and I keep encountering problems.

My latest problem is: right after creating .CAB files, sort2cabs.js goes into resequencing .xml files (as far as I understand). From what I could gather from the script, it calls md5sum.exe to do this. Each time I attempt to run the script, near the end I always get the same error:

xml files found: acc11,excel11,fp11,inf11,onote11,outl11,outls11,owc10,owc11,ppt
11,pro11,pub11,std11,stdp11,word11
modifying acc11
modifying excel11
modifying fp11
modifying inf11
modifying onote11
modifying outl11
modifying outls11
modifying owc10

Error: Access is denied.

I read somewhere that md5sum.exe does not work on Windows XP, so I tried running the script on a Windows 2000 box, and came up with the same results. I've checked the permissions on the .xml files in x:\office2003\sort and there are no permissions set (or rather, no restrictions were set).

Please help! (**prays that this thread is still active **)

4. Copy XML files located at X:\office2003\FILES\SETUP to X:\office2003\sort. Now edit X:\office2003\sort\tabledirs.lst and X:\office2003\sort\xmlfiles.lst to match your need. tabledirs.lst lists all directories containing the exported tables from the msi packages (existence is checked in sort2cabs.js) and xmlfiles.lst lists all xml to edit (correct md5sums).

After I extract those 5 tables by orca, but i cannot see "tabledirs.lst" and "xmlfiles.lst" existed in "X:\office2003\sort\", how can i do?

You create xmlfile.lst and tabledirs.lst yourself using Notepad and saving the file as a .lst file.

Tabledirs.lst:
Basically, whatever directory names you used to export your tables to, you list in the file. Tabledirs.lst should look something like this:

acc11
excel11
fp11
inf11
onote11
outl11
outls11
owc10
owc11
ppt11
pro11

xmlfiles.lst:
Similar list as above, but all you do is list the xml files located in /files/setup.

If you read the above posts, Beeker actually has combined a package that pretty much does everything, including creating the .lst files

Hi, i have successfully integrated in my office 2003 pro for students (so no admin setup allowed) the service pack 3.
after installation without problem and all programs works fine (showing SP3 in about) i tried to install office2003-KB936677-FullFile-ITA.exe (junk mail filter of september) it's stop due a problem of version (update it isn't made for version installed). instead installing same update via microsoft update works fine.

does anyone know why this problems?

this is a bug with the sp3.

first integrate the msp from the junk mail filter and next integrate the Sp3. After installing the new version import this reg:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

I finally was able to make this work for SP3. Man... this method really needs to be simplified. beeker, vegar and others have done great at simplifying it a bit. But it is still pretty confusing. After I release v1.5 of the integrator I plan on taking a crack at making this method very simple. The hardest part for me will be converting the sort2cabs.js to Autoit code... but looking through the file it looks very possible. Once I convert that then I will convert all of the batch files into autoit and implement it into my Office Integrator GUI. This by far is the BEST way to integrate Hotfixes and Servicepacks into an office installation disk. I just got my Office disk down from about 1.5 GB to 722 MB. That is a significant difference. But the time it took for me to trial and error this was crazy. I am not a newbie to code... so for it to be this hard for me... I am either a lot dumber than I thought... or... most people who try this give up.

The main thing I don't like about all of this is having to use orca to pop up windows and automate things. It leaves so much room for errors. Does anyone know of a way to silently perform orca stuff? I think I saw a commandline tool a while back but I don't remember where.

Thanks

@siginet:

I have been following several Office slipstream threads/procedures and I agree with you - this approach seems to be one of the better - and - one of the more convoluted due to the number of individual steps. I have seen your Office Integrator and am looking forward to seeing you develop it further after you put the finishing touches on V1.5 of Integrator (Great job there especially).

A clean clear "simple" (KISS) tool is still needed on the Office slipstream front...

[mikesw]

take a look at this other slipstreamer for office

thx..already been there and have had some issues with it....left a message for mara- this morning....

This might be useful - Windows Installer Scripting Examples, there is also other info, actually a lot of info, msi is quite complex. All the scripts are in the Windows SDK, unfortunately, I don't know about any commandline tool able to do the same thing.
