Alexander,

Yes, it always sounds simple when you have done that :-)

A couple of hints for you (so that you don't spend much time on that).

Within the script use cmiThis object to refer to the instance in the context
of which you work.

When you enumerate your component (instance) resources, search for ones with
the property ResourceTypeVSGUID="{E66B49F6-4A35-4246-87E8-5C1A468315B5}".
Those will be the file resources.

A file name will be the value of the extended property "DstName" of the
resource (Properties collection).

So, the VB script that disables a particular file resource of the current
component instance may look like:
   For Each oResource In cmiThis.Resources
         If ("{E66B49F6-4A35-4246-87E8-5C1A468315B5}" =
oResource.ResourceTypeVSGUID) Then
              If oResource.Properties.Exists("DstName") And
oResource.Properties("DstName").Value="<you file name here>" Then
                    oResource.Properties.Disabled = True
                    Exit For
              End If
         End If
   Next

(I haven't tested the above you you will need to use/modify it on your own
risk).

For other resources (registry key, reg value, etc.) you will just need to
use different predefined GUIDs (not important for you now but for any future
use).

    Konstantin
