I have it working with a slipstreamed XP SP2 cd with media player 9 installed by default & System Restore disabled upon setup & in my Apps.bat file (which is executed at logon) I have the following code

ECHO Installing Windows Media Player 10
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %windir%\Apps\WMP10\MP10Setup.exe /Q:A /R:N /C:"setup_wm.exe /DisallowSystemRestore /Q:A /R:N"
ECHO Finished

Tried & Tested - Works perfectly! 

many thanks!!!

It works perfectly now

Quick question. I read on MSFN guide that this can be installed via RunOnce, like all my other programs. What I am wondering, is does it have to copy to the hard drive to install? Or can I run it from the CD? Currently it copies over, if I read the command correctly.

REG ADD %KEY%\136 /VE /D "Windows Media Player 10" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\136 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\WindowsMediaPlayer\mediaplayer10.exe /q:A /c:\"setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /DisallowSystemRestore\"" /f

It is supposedly running the installer from the CD, but actually extracting somewhere (normally %temp%) and then run the install.

So the above command specifies where we want it to extract temporarily, and then run. So it does copy the files over.

[scorpy]

So how would I got about deleting that setup.exe it copies over, or does it remove it automatically because its a temp file? Or can I stick it in a folder like a OEM install and delete the folder in cleanup.cmd?

hey guys!

MP10Setup.exe /q:A /c:"setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /P:#e"

this line works! except i extracted the exe to a folder and created a sfx archive and pasted this:

;The comment below contains SFX script commands

Setup=setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /P:#e"
TempMode
Silent=1
Overwrite=1

works fine for me

[ihaveabu]

only thing is now, ever time i install, and run it afterwards, this shows up:

is there anyway i can tell it to select which files wmp will be default for and bypass this step?

[prathapml]

That thing has been a big annoyance. Just have it install itself unattended, and then these registry tweaks applied thru cmdlines.txt:

WMP9 and 10 (for Setup, eliminate the first-run screen)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences]
"AcceptedPrivacyStatement"=dword:00000001
"FirstRun"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsMediaPlayer]
"GroupPrivacyAcceptance"=dword:00000001

[ihaveabu]

so i'll have to apply that before or after i run wmp setup in my batch file?

[prathapml]

After WMP10 is setup, is the time to apply those registry tweaks.

[ihaveabu]

thanks! will try again!

Thank you, gentlemen. I have now included MP10 on my preinstall's. There's less and less we need to install now after the install is finished. At this rate, I'll have it so automated we can install and sysprep without doing anything more

[darkside222]

I am using this switch and although in my first attempts I managed to do it succesfully, after I changed in winnt.sif the default location of program files to D: then WMP 10 does not install at all even though I have changed the location in my cmd file to d:setup_wm.exe
Any ideas guys?

If you left out WMP9 and you get the incompatible error when trying to install later, then what you do is extract WMP10, right click on WMP10.inf, install... And then you will be able to run the installer normally and it won't b***h anymore.

Brilliant! Simple and 100% effective. In fact I did not even have to run the installer, just right click on 'wmp10.inf' click on install and that's it, media player 10 installed and ready to go.

thats why DVD is a must, space doesnt really matter
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

that's true

[monisriz]

so is it now confirmed that wmp10 can be installed silently (without any EULA and accept-this accept-that windows) during win xp sp2 unattended install? or is there any other glitch that is left? seems everytime some one comes up with a potential solution theres a new problem that comes up...if this is final i will copy-paste the code ...im totally useless in coding so cant really understand anything..

[monisriz]

EDIT : *double post* sorry

[leijiamin]

All switchs metioned here didn't work in my unattended cd. I don't know why. I found if I set Media Player 9 at first, then 10 can be installed silently in command line mode. So I use InstallRite to set 9, then run 10's setup. Unfortunatly, the same command didn't work in RunOnceEx mode. "setup_wm.exe /Q:A /R:N", this command just work in command line mode.
Is there any advice?
