mwiner Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 That's odd... it never worked for me in sp1 as part of my regtweaks.reg. But I found out that the setting gets over written later during the install (runonceex). I ended up making a custom AMD file for group policies. This work for me on sp1 and sp2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucketbuster Posted August 25, 2004 Author Share Posted August 25, 2004 I don't use group policies and to be honest I don't know anything about them.Can they be silently applied during Unattended install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 No, you don't really need all that....Just these in your registry:[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences]"AcceptedPrivacyStatement"=dword:00000001"FirstRun"=dword:00000000;Media Player License Autoaccept[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsMediaPlayer]"GroupPrivacyAcceptance"=dword:00000001All of those regtweaks are to be applied through cmdlines (T-12). And searching would have given you this solution a bit sooner disable first-run in SP2's WMP9I had the same problem with SP2 too! It was pretty simple as I later found out - do post back on how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwiner Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Hurm...... never knew about the "FirstRun"=dword:00000000maybe that was my problem. I knew about the other two but it wouldn't work. Virtual PC here I come. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prathapml Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 just this morning my windows media player 9 downloaded an update and then i got that stupid screen back!If you have those 3 tweaks above, imported into windows registry - you'll never see the first-run of WMP9, no matter what. is there a way to slipstream wmp9 updates into xp?If you've slip-streamed SP2 into your XP CD, you'll not need to have an update patch for quite some time. SP2 is the latest update you will need - no others are needed if you have that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
