Hi does anyone know if it is possible to do a system recover and then not to install ALL the sony applications as created on the Applications recovery disk?

I dont want all the programs installed and just wondered if you could just install the system OS from the Reciovery disk 1, and then add just the basic stuff i need like mircorsoft office & itunes etc?

thanks

I have a small problem now once I insert the applications disc it tries to install all the applications, I have stopped VARU.exe from the Starup within msconfig, but I just cant get the normal selection of Apps to install individually any ideas?

thanks

Hi Shak,

I don't think you can install individual Applications once you have cancelled the Applications Installation.

The only way to do this is by unpacking the Sony.PAC files on your Recovery Disc with kcap.exe.

Have a look at THIS THREAD
