call it from another batch file....

example...


Install.cmd:
CLS
ECHO.
ECHO Listen to Quran While Install Applications
ECHO Please wait...
start music.cmd


then in music.cmd:
start "%programfiles%\Windows Media Player\mplayer2.exe" "%systemdrive\Drivers\002_cre\ketaab_allah.mp3"
(maybe an "exit" here so that when it starts the music it closes the Dos prompt for music.cmd)


that should tell it to play and move on to installing stuff.

[muslim]

i do it but also stop

in install file are

CLS
ECHO.
ECHO Listen to Quran While Install Applications
ECHO Please Listen
%systemdrive%\drivers\000_con\001_HSF\info.cmd

and in quran file

"%systemdrive%\Program Files\Windows Media Player\mplayer2.exe" %systemdrive%\install\Ketaab_Allah.mp3
CLs
EXIT

if you find any errors tell me

[muslim]

[MCT]

i dont know where your mp3 is located, u put the path lol

[muslim]

the path of mediaplay2

"%systemdrive%\Program Files\Windows Media Player\mplayer2.exe"


the path of mp3

%systemdrive%\install\Ketaab_Allah.mp3

tell me how

[Synapse]

Muslim, I made an Application to do just this, since it doesn't look like Mplayer2.exe can do this.

i'm just waiting for a couple replys on my VB6 question post. so far it seems to work perfect. and if enough people show intrest in it maybe a future release.. right now my program only supports 1 MP3 file.



the dos command prompt is just there to show that while it plays music it will install stuff too. but well.. in the form of Ping, Netstat, Ipconfig executing.

are any member have any way

i've tried every command line option i could think of and everytime it starts playing the music and stops until the media player is closed. so i don't think there is a possible way besides maybe VBScript to do this which i'm not familiar with.

so once i release my program it should help you since it allows the installation to keep going.

i've also done about 2 hours of research into this.. and i haven't been able to find any command line options that will allow the music to play then move on to the installation.

so just wait a day or two till i find out which Files i need to pack with my program for it to work on everyones computers.

I've released my Unattended Audio Player...

let me get this right...
you want your own custom install program to start another process (media player) but not wait on it and then kill that process when the install is done, right?

start mypath\myapp /myargs
use this to start the process without having to kill it to continue the batch

taskkill /f myapp.exe
use this to stop the app when the batch is finished

[Synapse]

he wants audio to play in the background while his unattended CD installs stuff. and trying the /start \pathtoplayer\player.exe /myargs doesn't work as it waits for the media player to close. even calling it from a seperate batch file i couldn't find a way to allow the player to play the Mp3 and still install in the background.

[selyb]

freaky...
i wonder why that doesnt work when it does work inside windows...
a vbs should be able to do it...

Option Explicit
Dim oShell
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oShell.Run "myapp /myargs", 0, False

0 is for hidden, 2 is for minimized but not hidden
False tells it not to wait for the process to finish before continuing the script

then again... i dont know if a vbs will run... probably not...
