After creating an unattended cd with hfslip.
not a single error during install but
after a rescell with sysprep.
I reboot the computer to check everything.
every step is ok
but at the end of the minisetup, when the computer logs on the desktop, i got an error message saying :

"impossible to find c:\windows\inf\wmp10.inf"

the only present file is wmp.inf.

WMP10 runs Ok
the wmp.inf come from the HFSLIP install
the wmp10.inf from a computer with a standard WMP10 install

What do you mean by 'rescell'?

Is wmp10.inf present in SOURCESS? On the installed system (perhaps in the wrong location)?

What's a "rescell with sysprep"?

Anyway, HFSLIP renames wmp10.inf (and all other infs in the WMP10 package) and you won't find it back on the hard disk after the final reboot of Windows setup.

EmRoD means that he resealed his computer with sysprep.

It's exactly what I mean, sorry for the english...

i just want to understand why windows is asking for this file just after a reseal.
maybe it's because of the slipstream of WMP10, and sysprep not compatible with WMP10.
Tomorrow, i'll try to integrate it instead of slipstreaming.
but slipstreaming os better
If i can help (if someone is interessted in this "issue")

Thanks anyway for this wonderful piece of batch

Putting the WMP10 installer in HFSVPK_SW will propably fix your problem.

I just can't say for sure because I don't know what sysprep does (let alone "reseal with sysprep").

Edit:
And what if you use the WMP10 addon? Does it still happen then?

Tomcat76: You know how right after you install Windows, setup presents you with "Welcome to Windows"? Sysprep, or System Preparation Tool, is a corporate deployment tool used by system administrators to prepare a system for duplication or delivery to the customer. Essentially, it configures the computer to run Windows Welcome or Mini-Setup the first time the end user restarts the computer ('Microsoft Out-of-Box Experience', or OOBE). When you restart the computer, Windows will present a shortened form of GUI-mode Setup.

Oh, so *that's* sysprep...

Thanks for the explanation.

If you like to test, you can try the latest WMP test build provided in the Test Releases thread. But I'm warning you: that build is completely untested so the odds it won't work are high (sysprep or normal install).

What did you change to make it a 'full slipstream'?

Does it have anything to do with KB911565's not being slipstreamed when WMP10 is integrated in HFSVPK_SW?

I'll try both the latest test build, and the integrate method
thanks

It's basically a "CD install" now which allows WMP to install completely (including playlists et al). The current implementation in the 60321a-wmp test release is actually about two weeks old already. The main drives behind this were to narrow down the size of the SOURCESS\I386 folder (as opposed to the SOURCESS\I386 folder now) and to get the background music going again during Windows XP installation. I have a feel that the latter was caused by the missing "control.xml" file. KB911565 didn't have anything to do with it.

@EmRoD

The test release has been updated. There was a problem that may have prevented Windows setup from copying over wmfdist-related files.

Great! But I think I'll wait until EmRoD tests it.

Testing the HFSLIP_60321b-wmp.CMD

with:

mp10setup.exe, wmfdist95.exe (From KB891122), and WindowsMedia10-KB911565-x86-FRA.exe in the HF folder.

CLASSIC.WM_ is in my source folder

From a CORP Gold -> SP2.

Errors at T-13

Advanced INF Install Cannot read or write a file (nothing more specified..)

HFSLIP let a MPDIR1.TXT file on the root folder (the one containing SOURCE, HGF, FIX etc..)
here's my ERROR_REPORT.TXT

the hfnetchk log is comming (if the install ends...)

Edit:

After the end of the install:

KB911565 is missing.

testing with HFSLIP_60317.CMD
mp10setup.exe in HFSVPK_SW

error at the end of the install

WMP10 launches

Testing now HFSLIP_60321b-wmp.CMD

with:
wmfdist95.exe (From KB891122), and WindowsMedia10-KB911565-x86-FRA.exe in the HF folder.

mp10setup.exe in HFSVPK_SW

MPDIR1.TXT is just a temporary file created/used by HFSLIP while it was running. Tomcat must have forgotten to have the script delete it. You can safely get rid of it.

Tomcat76: Please fix this!


There used to be problems with putting MP10Setup.exe in HFSVPK_SW, but I had tommyp fix all of them. What exactly did the error message say (sorry, but I can't read French )?


KB911565 will not install with MP10Setup.exe in the SVCPACK folder as it will be processed by setup before WMP10 is even installed (I believe this is still the case with 60321b as it is with 60317 and earlier).

Why do you have this is your HF folder if you are not installing Media Center Edition?

"" not validated by m$ ant therfore wouldn't be installed.
this appears numerouse times, as well as Advanced INF errors.

1) Info for WMP test build

Place in HF folder:
MPSetup.exe or MP10Setup.exe
wmfdist.exe or wmfdist95.exe
KB911565

Either CLASSIC.WM_ or CLASSIC.WMZ need to be in your SOURCE folder if you want to have it. This is normally the case for Windows XP but not for Windows 2000.

Known current limitations:
- KB911565 won't be processed separately (WMP9 or 10 must be in HF)
- KB911565 won't be processed at all on Windows Server 2003

To do:
- fix the limitations (LOL)
- slipstream WMP6 codecs[/quote]

Wooops...

It's clear it isn't ready for consumption yet. I've withdrawn it for the moment.

MPDIR1.TXT is useless. It's a leftover from an earlier version of the WMP script section but it's not used anymore. I forgot to delete the line that creates the file.

There's a newer version (60322a-wmp). It uses a whole new approach.

It's still untested, though. I really don't have the time ATM...

Testing 60322a-wmp now:

mp10setup.exe, wmfdist95.exe (From KB891122), and WindowsMedia10-KB911565-x86-FRA.exe in the HF folder.

Still the same Advanced INF install Errors a T-13.

trying without wmfdist95

same errors too without wmfdist95

Tomcat: Any luck with the WMP confusion (full slipstream)?

No. It's sad that the error messages don't provide more info. As far as I can see, it looks like what I'm trying to do can only be done through SYSOC.INF... which requires a lot of INF editing...

Found a workaround for my sysprep issue:

After resealing a fresh install, done with HFSLIP_60317.CMD:
MP10 and WindowsMedia10-KB911565-x86-FRA.exe in the HF folder.
no more advanced inf install errors, windows was looking for WMP10.inf in the %windir%\inf folder, and those file were not present.
i just created a SFX with WMP10.inf and WMP10.PNF placing thoses 2 files in the %windir%\inf.

no more errors

Great! What was the difference though?

And what is the PNF file for?

the difference is only for the first login with a new account created via the minisetup (after rescell).
the pnf file is installed in %windir%\inf with wmp10.inf, on a "real" MP10 install, i suppose it contains installation, or configuration infos.

here's my sfx
