RE: MSBuild GenerateBootstrapper for Office Compatibility Pack?

Hello Dave,

According to Office team's feedback, they do not have a plan for the Office
Compatibility Pack bootstrapper.

I understand that you are frustrated by the complexity of making a
bootstrapper for Office Compatibility Pack. I will try my best to help you
out.

Would you let me know the type of your setup project? Is it a Visual Studio
Setup Project or a setup project builtup via Windows SDK tools?

If it is a VS Setup Project, please refer to the MSDN article
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa730839.aspx
Some sample Bootstrapper Packages for .NET Framework, SQL Express, etc can
be found in the following directory if Windows SDK is installed
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages

If it is developed by hardcoding, I think the sample from the below link
may help:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=BF253CFD-1EFC-4FC5-
BA7E-6A6F21403495&displaylang=en
Download Setup.exe Boostrapper Sample Source Code
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/info.aspx?na=40&p=1&SrcDisplayLang=en&Src
CategoryId=&SrcFamilyId=bf253cfd-1efc-4fc5-ba7e-6a6f21403495&u=http%3a%2f%2f
go.microsoft.com%2ffwlink%2f%3flinkid%3d6302

Would you let me know the concrete problem that you encountered when
developing the bootstrapper?

By the way, we can extract the files contained in the EXE from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=941b3470-3ae9-4aee-
8f43-c6bb74cd1466&displaylang=en using the /extract switch. The available
switches are documented in the KB article at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912203/en-us.
