Excluding Windows XP Components During Setup

[Kelly]

I don't want Outlook Express and Windows Messenger
installed while I deploy WinXPPro to dozens of
workstations. Is there a way to keep those components
from installing in an unattended setup environment?

Thanks,


Kelly

You cannot really prevent them from being installed (they are "part of
the operating system" according to MS).

But you can "remove access" in unattend.txt like this:

[Components]
OEAccess = Off
WMAccess = Off


See <http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=328326#5>.
