MCE unattended help


Recommended Posts

I have used nLite to integrate drivers for my mobo, lan, sound card, TV tuner, video card etc. I removed ALL drivers from windows with nLite and a few other things and do unattended. Burned that down to CD and worked great. Now i have be trying to set up WPI to install programs automaticly worked for the most part (lime wire need java before it will install corretly so it errors pop up but java installs like 3 programs after so it works once in windows, i guess i need to find how to install java before lime wire and doesnt delete the files it copyed to install the programs) Anyway insted of wasting CDs im now useing VMWare to test, but now MCE dont work. The files are in windows folder(no link on start menu) and errors out. i checked to make sure it didnt just install XP Pro and it DIDNT it says windows media center edtion. What could it be? Could it be VMWare?

Sorry for the bad spelling

Thanks

It's Vmware, it doesn't emulate all the hardware on you PC so MCE doesn't

find any supporting hardware.

Vmware or virtualPC are good for testing software installations

But any testing that depends on the correct hardware needs to

be done on your real PC

I haven't used with WPI or lime wire. You could try using shutdown.exe

to reboot part way thru installation. and install java in the first part

and lime wire in the second part. Just use shutdown.exe -r -t seconds.

But I don't know if that would work with WPI or not. I've done it with

batch files and runonceex.

Like i said im a nood but if i set lime wire to be a dependent of java would it install java first? I have java set to be force install so you have no choice to install it or not. just seems liek it might work. Other than that and not deleteing the "install" folder from c drive it works great

You should ask about that in the WPI forum.

I've never used it. But from your post I'm guessing that you can

tell it that some installs depend on others and it will install

them first. So I'm assuming the answer to your question is yes.

But check in the WPI forum.
