Frank_Sechrist Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 The Windows Media Connect optional update was released yesterday. At the end of the unattended install process, the System Restore warning displays, similar to WMP10's warning. I've been able to disable that message when installing WMP10, but can't find the correct switches for this update.Anyone have any luck with this one?Thanks.

Joe User 99 Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 I have not seen a System Restore dialog, only the Windows Media Connect Configuration Wizard.The install is a MSI. extract the wmcsetup.exe using WinRAR.The MSI is WinRMSrv.msiThe Windows Media Connect Configuration Wizard is a custom action, that is set to launch at the end of setup, IF the user interface level is NOT silent (/qn) or basic (/qb).So, to prevent the Configuration Wizard from launching, simply install using one of those 2 switches.IE:WinRMSrv.msi /qb-!As I said, since I don't get any System Restore Dialogs, so I don't know that this will affect your install. But give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank_Sechrist Posted October 13, 2004 Author Share Posted October 13, 2004 Joe User 99Thanks for the help, but no go. In addition to the /qb switches for the msi, wmcsetup.exe /q:a /r:n results in a silent install.But, at the end of the install process, the System Restore warning window, with a Title of "Windows Media Player 10" STILL displays. Apparently it IS the WPM10 system restore warning message.I have System Restore turned off.Has anyone else figured this out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe User 99 Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Are you installing WMP10 before installing this?Maybe it is checking for WMP10 and installing it if it is not present? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank_Sechrist Posted October 13, 2004 Author Share Posted October 13, 2004 Joe User 99,Yes. WMP10 is already installed, but, WMP9 is included with SP2 and already installed before the Windows Media Connect, so the same thing will occur. Right?

Alanoll Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 umm....to those having the WMP10 System Restore message, are you using the CORRECT SWITCHES? As in /DisallowSystemRestore or something along those lines?The reason you get the message, is because of the fact you turned of System Restore or it currently isn't running.

Frank_Sechrist Posted October 13, 2004 Author Share Posted October 13, 2004 I tried using the following: wmcsetup.exe /Q:A /R:N /C:\"setup_wmc.exe /DisallowSystemRestore /Q:A /R:N"Problem is, I'm not sure what file name should be used. I tried setup_wm.exe and setup_wmc.exe. Neither works. The WMP10 System Restore warning message displays at the end of the silent install process. It seems to be the WMP10 System Restore msg, not one that's generated by wmcetup.exe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewpayne Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 My method keeps the System Restore on until the last possible moment - ie just before Shutdown after RunOnceEx.cmd completes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
