Unattended Install W/wmp10 Fails

[4mbi3nt]

I'm creating an unattended install with Windows XP OEM SPK2. SPK2 comes preinstalled no slipstream required. I wanted to include the latest updates and add-ons from MS, so I downloaded Windows Media Player 10, .NET 1.1 and the Share Point Services updated. These updates didn't have KBs so I can't provide a number, but I got them by going to the Windows Update Catalog and then selecting Windows XP Professional SP2 -> Recommended updates. I opted for the svcpack.inf install type for the extras. Since these weren't really hotfixes I used the "icon advice" on the page to identify which switches to use, i.e. Type 2. Everything else in my install went fine, but when it came time to install the extra components, they were all interactive instead of silent/quiet. I'm thinking I should try the other /INTEGRATE method, but I didn't see any mention of including WMP10. Or, maybe there are other switches I should be using for the svcpack.inf file. Below is a copy/paste of the svcpack.inf file.

;Windows XP
[Version] 
Signature="$Windows NT$"
MajorVersion=5
MinorVersion=1
BuildNumber=2600

[SetupData]
CatalogSubDir="\i386\SVCPACK"

[ProductCatalogsToInstall]

[SetupHotfixesToRun]
MP10Setup.exe
dotnetfx.exe /Q:A /R:N
SMSETUP.EXE /Q:A /R:N
qchain.exe

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

USE CODE TAGS!!!

Second, where did you download the WMP10 setup file?

Third, did you bother searching for references to ANY of these programs?

Sorry about the code tags thing, didn't realize that was an option, but will be using them from now on now that I do. As far as where did I download the updates, I've already mentioned that in my previous post. "I got them by going to the Windows Update Catalog and then selecting Windows XP Professional SP2 -> Recommended updates." After going to "Recommended updates" there are 5 recommended updates, 3 of which are the ones I opted to install, i.e. WMP10, SharePointServices and .NET1.1. Thanks for the advice about searching, I did that before posting and didn't find anything. Do I have the MP10Setup.exe (wmp10 setup) file in the appropriate place in the svcpack.inf file? The instrcutions didn't really specify...Are you aware of a switch that should be used to ensure the install of WMP10 is silent? Is there an option to install wmp10 using the /INTEGRATE method?

Thanks for the help

Alright, just because I have to let you know. Upon first seeing your post, I'm tempted to not even read it simply because it appears as a single large glob of text. This probally turns away MANY members.

Now, as for .NET search for it on the forums. There are switches for it.

As for WMP, on the Unattended guide there are downloads for silent installs of this that don't require switches. Just use it instead of the current one.

NONE of these probally support /integrate as ONLY hotfixes support it usually.
