Unattend installation hanging

[Rik99]

I have this window open before the end of my unattend installation.

SP2 and all updates are slipstreamed, WinXP Pro corp, SP2 and all updates are

the french versions, but the error I receive is in English !

By clicking on OK in the window the installation continue without any more problems

until the end.

I don't need Window media Player...

Here is my unattend file winnt.sif

Tks for your help

[Rik99]

It's hard to believe that nobody else had that problem before

[erik_demon]

Hey

The problem has nothing to do with your winnt.sif

When during setup does this happen? Is it a T=13?

If this is the case, then I guesse you are trying to install Media player 10 from within svcpack.inf

If this is the case, you are using the wrong switch.

Could you tell me a bit a more?

Have you slipstreamed Windows mediaplay 10? (and if so, how)?

Read This It Will Help

The Thread

[Rik99]

The script from Bâshrat the Sneaky does'nt works I have tried it many times on all my differents drives and always in the same folder here is the proof....

I have Slipstream SP2 and all the fixes that you can see on this link

aideinfo

note that I have slipstreamed al the ones that show Slipstreamable

The first unattended CD I have made, I have unzip with winrar all the files

from MP10Setup.exe in my I386 folder and change my hive file

Everything was running cool except that hanging window as you seenmy first post.

Then I restart a new fresh installation without integrating any files from WinMedia10.

Always the same problem.

What I would like first is getting rid of that window media player wich i never use

and by the same time getting rid of that window wich stop the installation.

I have just starting to tried gunsmokingman's link and there are a few things

that are not clear for me as I don't have any SvcPack.inf in my I386 folder

only a compressed file SvcPack.in_ , but I do have a svcpack folder and also I don't have any program to make .sfx file from the 132 extracted files from MP10Setup.exe

file.

I have search many days to find an answer, all I have find is concerning WMP9 and not WMP10 and I would say nothing very clear for me a newbie

TKS

[gunsmokingman]

Svcpack.inf = Svcpack.in_ That is the compressed version

1:\ Goto where you have xp cd on your harddrive

2:\ Open Cmd promt in the XP CD

3:\ Paste This In The Cmd Promt Window

EXPAND YOURHARDDRIVE\XPCD\i386\SvcPack.in_

This will now leave in the i386 Folder Svcpack.inf

[Alanoll]

"MP10Setup.exe /Q:A /R:N /c:""setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /NoPID /DisallowSystemRestore"""

Should work in SVCPACK.INF. If you're using it elsewhere

MP10Setup.exe /Q:A /R:N /c:"setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /NoPID /DisallowSystemRestore"

P.S. Taken directly from the WMP OEM Distribution material

should I leave it expanded in the I386 folder if no how should I reverse the expand.

How can I get rid of the player if it is impossible can I expand it in my I386

folder with winrar and should I add this in svcpac file

MP10Setup.exe /Q:A /R:N /c:"setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /NoPID /DisallowSystemRestore"

and do I have to change something in one of the HIVE file and wich one

Tks again to all who are trying to help me

erik_demon

I confirm that it happens with 13 minutes left before the end of the installation and I presume this is why you are calling that T-13

[Rik99]

I would really appreciate if somebody can answer my questions to get my unattended Cd completed without any interruption.

Tks in advance

[erik_demon]

Hey Rik99,

Sorry for my late response

Then I restart a new fresh installation without integrating any files from WinMedia10.

Always the same problem.

This is very odd. Mediaplayer 10 isn't included in XP SP2 by default. It think that one of the updates you used is the problem.

I would recommand the following:

Rebuild your XP cd again from scatch. Don't slipstream mediaplayer 10 and don't slipstream any updates that concern the mediaplayer. Then install mediaplayer 10 + updates via RunOnceEX

MP10Setup.exe /q:A /c:\"setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /DisallowSystemRestore\"

I know this isn't really the perfect answer to your problem, but it is the best I can think of (I do it this way for now)
