I have an .msi package that contains multiple clients and when I select to install I have options for what clients I wish to install. How can I strip out the bits I don't need and have an .msi that will only install the one client from this package that I do need? I need this for pushing out to users via Group Policy. I want to "Publish" the .mis to "Users" and when users select to install from “Add/Remove Programs” I want it to install as a passive install, so the users sees the progress but don't have to select any options.

This has been done before at my site, but the guy who done it has since left. He used the original .msi package and did just this to it. However I now need to use a later version of the client/.msi package. The supplier of the .msi cannot give me the single client, or any help in what I want to do.

Any help would be great...

Cheers,

Glenn.
