schettj: that is not always true. For instance with PIE+ there are no reg entries and no exe. There are a few dll's as part of the install, but the setup.dll in the cab is used to register the installed bits and or make other reg entries. It can also do EULA and prior install detection logic (which we would not care about in this instance but if that is all it does for a cab your method would work).
luv2chill: I did try a reg export earlier but VC1.6 is insane as to the entries it makes and "beyond comare" went nuts with the dif. I did find a few other entires and I can get vc1.6 to link and activate, but it seems to not recognize speach. For now I just have the bits in the rom and made a copy of the cab that had the bits stripped and the install path pointing to the windows dir. That way it does the reg and what not but does not copy any files so the space is still spared. But I hate that it is a hack! BTW the cab file stripped havk would not work with PIE+ so I am back to comparing entries.
