 Slipstreaming
is the term used to describe the process of modifying an original
installation (eg. Microsoft Office) to include a particular update or
change. You can then use the resulting image to install the updated application.
These guides are based on information freely
available on the internet, and were created for the convenience of our
readers. Slipstreaming is not illegal or unethical in any respect, and
we
do not endorse using pirated software.
Slipstreaming Office XP to SP1:
After using this guide, you should be able to install Office
XP with SP1 already integrated onto a computer.
1. Download the admin version of the service pack [
link ]
2. Run the executable file and accept the license agreement.
3. Extract the Service Pack to your hard drive. For example, type
C:\OXPSP1A and click OK.
4. Now use your original Office XP CD to make an administrative install point.
To do this, use the command setup /a.
5. When asked for an installation folder, choose somewhere easy to
remember on your disk, ex. C:\OFFICEXP
6. Next, use this command to apply the update:
msiexec /a c:\officexp\proplus.msi /p c:\oxpsp1a\MAINSP1_Admin.msp SHORTFILENAMES=1
7. When update is done, burn the contents of c:\officexp to CD. You have
your own Office XP-SP1 slipstreamed CD!
NOTE: You can append /qb+ to the command in step 6 to avoid
receiving the Office XP Administrative Installation dialog box and the
End User License Agreement dialog box. NOTE: You can follow the
same procedure to slipstream an Office-SP1 CD to SP2!
You *must* apply SP1 before trying SP2, then repeat the above steps,
changing the filenames as necessary.
