Alright, I have an XP MCE 2005 SP2 DVD. I want to automate the installation of this, integrate drivers, install MP10, upgrade to SP3, and install .NET 3.5. My problem is this. If I install SP3 during the nLite phase of things, MP10 won't install after the OS is installed! I believe that I need to create a DVD that will install MCE SP2 with my drivers and such, then install MP10, then install SP3, then install .NET 3.5 and a pile of patches for the OS. The thing is, I am not sure how to handle this situation. I can integrate SP3 with nLite and use Media Center fine and all (have to replace 3 files after SP3 upgrade is done if I do it with nLite or I get XP Pro) so i know how to do it if needed, but how can I get MP10 if I do it this way? I do *NOT* want that broken piece of junk, MP11 on my systems. It only works with one of the seven portable music devices I have tested with it, and it broke one to the point of sending it off for repair. Thanks for any help you can offer.

So nobody knows how to do this? That's amazing.

How about this. Can somebody tell me how to install MP10 from a batch file without user interaction? I could make a batch file that will install MP10, then SP3, then reboot the system. The thing is, I'd still have about thirty updates to install afterwards and I am not sure how to handle that. For now though, how about the unattended switches for MP10 and SP3?

Sephiroth, see attached. Obtained by running WMP10 installer in a command prompt with /? switch. Enjoy, John .

I didn't know /? or -help worked on setup files. I assume the same goes for SP3? If that's the case, I'll be golden!
