Professor Frink Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Is that codec pack even needed if you're installing WMP10? Do you gain anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucketbuster Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 I believe that codecpack is already integrated in WMP10.I only wanted it, because I am not going to install WMP10, just the codecs. Media Player Classic is my favorit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McoreD Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Hi there, first of all, great post! I was referred to this thread by madTaMsKi. I hope the following will work for RunOnceEx?REG ADD %KEY%\065 /VE /D "Windows Media Player 10" /fREG ADD %KEY%\065 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\EXTRA\WMP10\mp10setup.exe" /Q:A /R:N /C:"setup_wm.exe /DisallowSystemRestore /Q:A /R:N" Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks,McoreD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Rhoads Posted September 4, 2004 Author Share Posted September 4, 2004 RR What an absolute fantastic guide one thing here you never stop learning thanks for a very interesting guide indeed.Thanks, props for the ideal should go to the person who posted the directX9c silent guide using IExpress. Its simple, clean and doesnt require any 3rd party apps installed, like Winrar, although i wouldnt know any reason why it shouldnt be installed.

McoreD Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Later I managed to add the setup_wm.exe /DisallowSystemRestore /Q:A /R:N command during IExpress Wizard and create an unattended WMP10 Setup. You guys are great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
`Felix` Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 @Randy RhoadsGreat guide! Just wondering why you have chosen iepress over say winrar? Winrar can do this also and gives a little better compression - infact it is close to a 1mb smaller and whilst this is not a great deal, over a number of applications it can really make a difference to your unattended install footprint.Just my 2 cents worth - well done!

Professor Frink Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 I'm still a little confused after reading several threads on WMP10 -- can it be done through svcpack.inf like WMP9? Or does it need to be in a batch file like my other programs? And an unrelated question -- does WMP10 finally have mp3 ripping support, or does that still require third party codecs?

Lolly Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 And an unrelated question -- does WMP10 finally have mp3 ripping support, or does that still require third party codecs?Clicky clicky for more info. I could rip with 320kb mp3 with WMP10 if I wanted to, atleast it says so. I have not yet ripped with it so I dont know whats the codec used (I do like LAME tho...) Have to run a test rippin for some cd after I get my next unattended test run in the VMware so I have a "clean" table, no other codecs innit. btw, thanks for the guide of this install-hassle Randy Rhoads, very cool indeed. B) I went to look on the dotnetSP1 thread but it really wasnt as n00b-friendly as this, I guess the old-timers sometimes expect n00s to "know" all the switches / etiquette / finesse etc... yeah, its hard to be a n00b...

Professor Frink Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Well, WMP10 seems to install nicely in my batch file:start /wait \\server\winxp$\apps\WMP10\MP10Setup.exe /Q:A /R:N /C:"setup_wm.exe /DisallowSystemRestore /Q:A /R:N"This was done with WMP9 removed from svcpack.inf. Does that really matter? Or should I let WMP go from 8 to 9 with svcpack.inf, then put 10 on at the end?And another question -- this is a SP1 installation -- are there any hotfixes that are not needed anymore?Lolly -- thanks for the link. I'm so glad they finally incorporated mp3 into WMP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Frink Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Any thoughts on my previous post? And I have one more question -- what is that weird up-and-down arrow button that I get on the top bar in the upper-right?Nothing happens with either a left or right mouse click. What the heck is it?

evilvoice Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I have no idea what that button is, i have it too...honestly it looks like going from full mode to regular, or regular to compact...if you dont show the titlebar, its a gray button - doesnt even look like it belongs with wmp and double clicking it maximizes/restores the window...and to answer youre other post...it should be fine to go from wmp8 to wmp10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
