Installation of programs from a DVD...?

Flash Gordon · Jan 14, 2006

Hi All

I made an SP2 slipstreamed "unattended install" CD yesterday of my Windows
XP Pro CD....also did the same for Office 2003 Pro - based on a couple of
websites dedicated to windows I had come across. It seemed like a good idea
and slowly but surely I made up the CD's as required.

My technical skill level borders between Beginner and Intermediate with
these things.

But I had one further idea (hopefully not a stupid one).....

Would it not be possible to put all these installation disks for the above
Windows AND All of the Office programs, etc. onto one DVD to acheive the
same end and have a quicker install, etc?

This may have been covered at some time but I have not been able to find any
info on how to acheive this.

Is this possible and if so how can i acheive this or if there is a website
that does indeed cover this aspect, then please let me know?

Any help would be apreciated.

Regards

FG

I made a DVD that installs XP unattended with the current service pack and
hotfixes integrated plus silently installs about 20 other programs at the
first Logon using the RunOnceEx method. My Office 2003 suite is slipstreamed
with current the service pack and hotfixes. Also during the Installation,
around the T-12 mark, my user accounts are created plus any reg tweaks I
created.
