I've not gotten to the level of modifying it in the dist. file, although now that you remind me of it, I should have remembered. I suspect a case of can't see the forest for the trees..... This looks like exactly what I'll need - VERY appreciated.

Had something that I expected to be simple, but Mr. Murphy and his law have struck again. Attempting to build a fairly vanilla MS Office 2008 package - the only "customization" I want to make is to either remove the Microsoft Messenger component, or simply change the default "enabled" status to disabled so that I can push the installer out via ARD and not have Messenger installed. I'm able to open the package from my installer CD in PackageMaker, make the changes, and build a new package successfully. You lost me here. Why are you not just editing the Distribution script in a text editor since you just need to change a choice state or remove the choice? _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
