jcarle Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Just thought I'd mention that the step where you delete the file is absolutely unnecessary... if you remove that step out of your batchfile the result will still be exactly the same. How so would that be unnecessary? It saves space!EDIT: you ARE talking about the step where the batch file removes the unnecessary files, aren't you? Yes, I'm talking about the step where the batch file removes unnecessary filesCLSTITLE 2/%TotalSteps% Deleting unnecessary files...ECHO.ECHO.ECHO.ECHO 2/%TotalSteps% Deleting unnecessary files...ECHO.ECHO.DEL /F /S /Q %P%\audiodev.dll %P%\syncpl??.wpl %P%\drmupgds.exe %P%\wpd*.* %P%\wmpe*.* %P%\wmdrm*.dll %P%\msoobci.dll %P%\uWDF.exe %P%\wdf*.* %P%\wmlaunch.exe %P%\wmpsrcwp.dll %P%\wmsetsdk.exe %P%\wmvadv*.dllDEL /F /S /Q %P%\*.acm %P%\*.cat %P%\*.chm %P%\*.inf %P%\*.png %P%\*.txt %P%\*.wmz %P%\*.xmlECHO.ECHO Complete!ECHO.PAUSEYou see, you're deleting files from the TEMPORARY directory which are going to be removed after the compression with makecab ANYWAY. None of the lines with makecab include any sort of wild card, so no other files other then the ones you specified for compression will be found in the i386 directory that is left at the end.

Was away this afternoon, and kept thinking about this post of yours. And finally I understood! You're totally right! I'll fix it right away.@kelsenellenelvian: thanks, will edit the webpage.

Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted January 8, 2005 Author Share Posted January 8, 2005 Updated!Version 1.1 is out.Check out the first post for the changelog and download link.No bugfixes, no need to redo the slipstreaming! I've just shortened the batch file. (removed a useless step) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radimus Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 in phase 3 where you are compressing the files, try this:for %f in (*.*) do makecab /D CompressionType=LZX /D CompressionMemory=21 /L %f %out%\%fren %out%\*.* *.??_It compresses the files, but it keeps the original file name... the ren statement replaces the last char with the _ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've mentioned in my first post, I've based this batch file on the info provided by Obliviator.Here you can find the things that aren't included: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=35042&st=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McoreD Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 This might be a stupid question, but will all the functionality of MP10 be included with this method?So these features are not included: MPEG Audio Layer-3DRM FeaturesPortable Media Devices SupportOut of Band Component InstallerUser Mode Driver-related filesAdditional Encoding and Decoding filesWPD Objects?MTP ProtocolAdditional USB Device SupportOnline StoresI am fine with this as long as a reinstallation of Windows Media Player 10 will add these features.

prathapml Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 eh?Why would you want to slip-stream it and then re-install it again? You need to choose whether those features are wanted by you or not. If you want it, don't slip-stream (use normal installer).@Bâshrat the SneakyI think you also need to have this key entered into your hives somehow, if you want to disable the "first-time run" dialogs of WMP10.;Media Player License Autoaccept[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsMediaPlayer]"GroupPrivacyAcceptance"=dword:00000001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can use it in the DriverPacks batch files Thanks again! , I've been using code like that since I first created my update pack 3 months ago . Here's what I use. This doesn't require a rename command.rem Compressing Filesfor /f %%i in ('dir Compress /b') do makecab /D CompressionType=LZX /D CompressionMemory=21 Compress\%%idel compress\*.* /q /fYou're proficient enough with batch files that you can probably modify it to better fit your needs (this one looks for files in a compress directory and woks with them there).
