3. Sysdiff the system.
c:\admin\sysdiff\sysdiff /diff c:\msoffice97.snp c:\temp\msoffice97.dif
4. Extract registry settings, system files, and other files needed for the application install
(on the Linux side) mkdir (JDIR)/installs/msoffice97
net use v: \\(JSHARE) /persistent:no
c:\admin\sysdiff\sysdiff /inf /m c:\temp\msoffice97.dif v:\installs\msoffice97\
5. Re-path the install source shortcuts
v: (mapped above to \\(JSHARE))
cd \installs\msoffice97\
..\..\scripts\repath-shortcuts.pl c:\progra~1\msoffice97 \\samson\msoffice97
(On the Linux side)
6. Rename the install source files.
cd (JDIR)/installs/msoffice97/
mv "\$OEM\$/"* ..
rmdir "\$OEM\$"
cd "(JDIR)/installs/msoffice97/\$\$"
mv "\$\$rename.txt" rename.txt
(JDIR)/scripts/parse-rename.pl "(JDIR)/installs/msoffice97/\$\$/rename.txt"
cd ../C
mv "\$\$rename.txt" rename.txt
(JDIR)/scripts/parse-rename.pl (JDIR)/installs/msoffice97/C/rename.txt
7. Re-path the registry file
vi (JDIR)/installs/msoffice97/msoffice97.INF
(type :%s/c:\\progra~1\\msoffice/\\\\samson\\msoffice97/ig)

(JDIR)/scripts/mvdlls.pl
(JDIR)/scripts/filelink.pl
10. Create the zipped up install source directory
(JDIR)/scripts/rezip-lnx.pl msoffice97
ln (JDIR)/installs/msoffice97/msoffice97.INF (JDIR)/installzips/msoffice97/msoffice97.INF

\\(JSHARE)\zipinst.pl msoffice97
