The Silent Install of MediaPlayer 9 works great, but when i then start mediaplayer, i get a lot of questions, which i would like to have predefined. Does anyone know if this is possible, through a reghack or some pref. file?
What i mean is that i want a full install without having to define any settings, but to have the settings already defined in some way.
I have attached a file to this post with a screenshot of what kind of dialog I mean.
Thanks

That guide you mentioned in your post, Nastradamus, is great! I've downloaded the program and tested it. Now I have a working setup program that will silently install MP9 and apply my settings! Just Great!

All I need to do is just put the filename and no switches to unattendly install it in the XP install.

although this works, i noticed that when i install it, it doesnt create any shortcuts in acceries/entertainment, programs, or the quicklaunch. Only shortcut i want is in accesseries/entertainment, so how can i alter it to do this?

Anyone know why no shortcuts are being made when i use the silent msi file i made? Also doesnt show windows media player being installed in add/remove programs.
