How to disable Outlook Express in XPE?

[Andy N]

Hi All,
I am trying to do away with Outlook Express in my image?
But since I have IIS Internet Manager in my image, it
always pulls in Outlook when I do a dependency check.

Anybody know how I can prevent this?

You can turn off auto-resolve dependencies (Tools - Options- Dependecy
Check), then add IIS and check dependecies. It will give you a warning for
every component you need and you can manually add them. You will need to run
through this multiple times as you work through the dependency chain of all
the IIS components, and not including a dependency may have some unforeseen
effect so you would need to test to make sure other features are still
working as expected. The components you choose not to add will continue to
pop up a warning when you come to build but you can ignore it. This can be a
tricky and time consuming way to exclude a component, but can also be
effective.

The other option would be to auto-resolve the dependencies then disable
Outlook Express just before you build (be sure not to run check dependencies
again after disabling this as it will just bring in a second instance of the
component). The drawback is that all the dependencies that Outlook Express
has will already have been brought into the config and disabling Outlook
Express will not remove them.

Hope this helps,

Lynda
