Open MSI in InstEd (use the InstEd with mod by yumeyao for best compression,) go to Media table, right click on the CAB & choose Rebuild selected CABs. Finally go to Tables -> Sumary info... menu and change the installer Image Type from Admin external to Compressed. Long filenames

Thanks rick for your help, but i got error see attached image.

I sometimes get that error also on my D:\ drive, try moving the files to drive C:\

The file is in C drive, i moved it to D drive but the same error :g:

You can also use WiMakCab.vbs found in this package http://xp.xpdnc.org/files/msi_vbs_examples.zip

WiMakCab.vbs AdbeRdr11000_fr_FR.msi setup /C /U /E

Run VBS with /? for more info

I will try it thanks rick

Thanks ricktendo you are the best, one other question plz, after removing vc++ runtime with insted from installer and before creating the cab file, can i remove the win and windows directory?

No, only remove the stuff you see in yellow, dont touch anything else

You can use InstEd to compare the normal updated installers with the slim updated installers to see what the authors remove (so you can make your own slim)

excuse me for my english, it's not what i say, but i want to remove the folders win and windows created with admin deploy that are inside the installer

Yes, you can delete those admin directories and keep just the MSI

You can delete the CAB (this is embedded in your MSI,) RPT, DDF, INF files also

thanks ricktendo for your help :doh:

Use Data1 instead of setup to preserv the CAB name

WiMakCab.vbs AdbeRdr11000_fr_FR.msi Data1 /C /U /E

Use Data1 instead of setup to preserv the CAB name

WiMakCab.vbs AdbeRdr11000_fr_FR.msi Data1 /C /U /E

Thank you rick for this information

I figured out the problem that caused the makecab failed error, you have to enable 8.3 filenames on the drive/partition
