Slipstreaming Office 2003 Service Pack 1


Recommended Posts

I added some notes to the bottom of the guide..

Regarding All In One (AIO) CD's:

Neither I, nor Microsoft, distribute or endorse AIO CD's. I don't have the program to make them either, so stop asking :)

But... if you're going to slipstream Service Pack 1, you need to do it to an installation medium that has not been modified (i.e. the original CD's).

The AIO CD (as far as I can see) will not fit onto a single CD and will need to either be mounted via a virtual drive or burned to a DVD.

Nice one, thanks (Y)

Anybody looking for the AIO Maker please PM me as it some people are obviously tagging it as warez so lets just do it over PM :)

I dunno why anyone would classify it as warez for. Any decent iso creation program or burner software that supports optimizing the layout will work. Just need to make an autorun front end for it. Lots of legally free software to do it.

Some people just complained about the AIO Maker so it anybody wants it they can just PM me and I usually get back to them in under a day. PM'ing me your email address makes it so much faster...

I agree its not warez because all it does it compress the already 5 cds people have (legit or not) to a smaller size and into one CD/DVD. I just do the PM system to keep people on this thread happy :)

Blast it, this sucks. I tried doing this with my Student and Teacher Edition and I can't copy the files, in which an error message displayed saying it only works with the Enterprise Edition. Too bad there isn't a way to bypass this bug.

todd` update the first post would you? with information detailing how to you can't do the slipstreaming to the low end copies and also that link with changes on?

Cheers for the updates as well. I am working on the AIO maker situation.

I'll probably update a little tomorrow. I've got a paper to write today for school.

Hey everyone,

I found this guide at another location, and it worked great for me.

I just have one question. When you follow this procedure, you loose the ability to cache the installation files for future updates. I'd still like to be able to do this since I'm using a laptop and I don't always have my install CD with me.

Thanks in advance!

    • It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.
    • Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.
    • I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.
    • It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
