Please don't assume I didn't read the help file even though it does not contain the solution to my problem!Īlmost 500 downloads with no complaints. All it does is reiterate what the dialog box error says in more words. Thank you for the tip about extracting the EXE, and indeed there is an actual "setup.exe" in there, but the help file (for the previous release that I tested, at least) does not mention anything about possibly needing to extract any files prior to using the tool. Please try to refrain from personal attacks, they're "not tolerated" according to the little snippit above the post form. I know these are rather daunting suggestions for a program that covers a large number of different versions and editions of Office, but I think they would make this useful tool even better. Maybe you could look into doing something similar here. nLite and vLite also allow for removing components from Windows installations. Maybe you could get some ideas from their UIs.Īlso I noticed one of the Office components, "Proofing" (spellcheck?), had Spanish and French versions as well as the English. nLite and vLite have good UIs and they do similar things to what you're doing (just with a different MS product). This could be reduced one step (maybe making the create ISO option a checkbox so it's done automatically after the slipstreaming). For example, after you slipstream the SP from the Slipstream tab, you end up on the Log tab and have to go back if you want to make an ISO. The UI itself could possibly use some improvement. In a future version maybe you can look into being able to do Direct Slipstreaming for more Office versions? A bit disappointing for me, although I suppose it would fulfill my requiresments for slipstreaming (unless it doesn't fit on a CD. The new installer size was simply bigger than the old installer size plus the service pack installer.

it was grayed out for me) as basically it was the base installer with the service pack files in a separate folder, presumable with some tweaks the the installer to automatically install the SP after the main thing. There is no "slipstreaming" as I would think (I guess that's what your "Direct Slipstream" is. With the process itself, it wasn't exactly what I was expecting.
Only minor bug I can see in the tool itself is the help file's title (in the HTML Help title bar) says "Office 2000/XP/2003" with no 2007. The latest version of your tool which extracts the files for me (very nice) seems to work fine, although I won't know for sure until I reinstall XP.

Your idea was correct, I had used an archive tool.
I don't know why I thought you were attacking me, I must have had a bad day.
