Rong,

You will have to componentize the software.
You can use a bunch of tools that will help you doing that (Regmon, FileMon, Dependency Walker, RegSnap, Inctrl5, etc.)

Here is a article on how to do componentization on XPe: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnxpembed/html/customxpecomp.asp

Thanks KM, But are there any easy to do that? Because I will put the
Adobe Reader and ICA Client.

Thanks

Rong,

Well.. the easiest way, probably, would be to just install the application either manually before reseal or during FBA (just launch
properly with msiexec).

However, I usually consider such approach as a waste of time because you would need to analyze the software dependencies either way
(unless you do the install on XPProEmulation image).

A long time ago I have done the componentization of Adobe Reader and ICA Client and I did not consider that as a hard piece.
