I am during my unattend installation installing the Energy Bliss visualisation for WMP10. But this does not apply as the current visualisation after install. Is there a way to set (in registry or whatever) what the current WMP10 visualisation should be? (So that on first boot after unattend installation the Energy Bliss visualisation is not just installed, but also selected as the current visualisation?)

bump, anyone?

I do what you seek to do using WPI in the following fashion:

cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Programs\\WMP10\\MP10Setup.exe /Q:A /R:N /C:\"setup_wm.exe /Q:A /R:N /DisallowSystemRestore\"']
cmd2[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Programs\\WMP10\\Energy.exe /q']
cmd3[pn]=['REGEDIT /S %cdrom%\\Programs\\WMP10\\prefs.reg']

Using the "/q" swithch does the job of installing the renamed Energy Bliss theme. Set Bliss as your visualization, then search your registry and grab the info related to your Media Player preferences. Merge those last, and all should be well. If not using WPI, you should be able to adapt this install to your preferred method. Good luck.

I was wanting to do the same, I beleive it is the following key

"MediaPlayer_10" = Enery Bliss

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences]
"CurrentEffectType"="MediaPlayer_10"

Is any reg for Apparence selection ?

Is any reg for Apparence selection ?

I dont use skins so I am not too sure, but looks like its in this key?

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Player\Skins]
"CurrentSkin"=

Don't forget to register the dll with regsvr32 after copying it to the Vizualisation directory.
