Multimedia Setup

[mediapla]

At the momemt i run a little animation film during setup, started with detachedprograms in winnt.sif. But i habe no sound in this phase of setup. At T12 i play some MP3 files,runs fine, but is it possible to have sound at t32 or earlier ?

No - at least not until after all of your drivers have been installed at around the T-28 stage, I think. You'd have to play around a bit after the "Installing Devices" step finishes.

[-I-]

or if you can set dosinitated to 'yes' you migh be able to load a dos based low resolution 'generic' sound-driver - but i shure as hell wont garantee anything ... ive never tryed before.

Problem solved, Sound is normally possible at T32, tested with Realtek/CMI-HDA, some AC97 soundchips like Soundmax,Via Vinyl and Realtek.

.. Now i play a little animation film at T39 without sound(detachedprograms) and at T32 it starts playing random a mp3 File to the reboot. After the reboot of the GUI setup it also plays random mp3 soundfiles at GUIRunOnce... Multimedia Setup....

Thanks to all here and to the German Site www.windows-unattended.de for some good ideas !!!

Would you tell us how you did it ?

[mediapla]

Why not ? Im sure , something can be better, im just a beginner...read somthing here and there, tried many

configurations...and my english is not the best, i hope you understand

I use detached Programs in winnt.sif to start a cmd-File.

SET MIN=1 (this is a batch file part to get a random mp3 file - a mp32exe converted file - 1.....9, should not play even the same sound at every installation)

start %systemdrive%\filmrun.exe (this line starts the AUTOIT Script, looks for T32)

EXIT

This is the AutoItScript (Special thanks to the German Windows-unattended

Forum)

$CD = DriveGetDrive("CDROM") (normally i need no CD dedection...

For $I=1 to Number($CD[0])

$pa = $CD[$I] & "\d.exe"

If FileExists($pa) Then

$instDrv=$CD[$I]

Endif

Next

AutoItSetOption("WinDetectHiddenText", 1)

AutoItSetOption("MouseCoordMode", 0)

AutoItSetOption("TrayIconHide", 1)

Winwait("Windows XP Professional Setup", "Netzwerkkomponenten") (looks for T32,Driver Installation is ready)

sleep(25000)

SoundSetWaveVolume(70)

Sleep(1000)

FileDelete( & @ScriptDir"\film.exe")

Run("a.exe") (-THIS STARTS THE MP3 File, is a MP32EXE converted file)

ProcessSetPriority("a.exe", 4)

WinWait("a.exe","Previous")

ControlClick("a.exe","Previous","Button7")

ControlClick("a.exe","Previous","Button9")

if WinExists ("Windows XP Professional Setup", "Installation abgeschlossen in ungefähr 1 Minute") then

ControlClick("a.exe", "Exit EXEmp3","Button10")

WinKill("a.exe")

EndIf

exit

The last 5 lines are not functional, i have not found a "Windows text" for this moment. Normally no problem, but if a SoundMax Soundchip is used, Setup try to reboot --- BSOD. So i Thougt, i can kill the playing file before windows setup reboots, because if no sound - no BSOD

Then GUIRunOnce starts a vbs-Script for RANDOM MP3 File selection (Had this function earlier than the cmd-batch part above , i dont wanna change my BOOT DVD. First i would use the script at T39, but it doennt run at this time)

Set fs = CreateObject( _

"Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set dict = CreateObject( _

"Scripting.Dictionary")

mp3 = _

"c:\sysprep\mp3"

desktop = "C:\sysprep\oem"

extension = "mp3"

default = "test.mp3"

If Not fs.FolderExists(mp3) Then

' Ordner existiert nicht

MsgBox "Ordner " & mp3 & _

" existiert nicht!", vbExclamation

WScript.Quit

End If

' alle Dateien im Ordner untersuchen

cc = 0

Set MP3Sound = _

fs.GetFolder(mp3).files

For Each file In MP3Sound

' Dateityp ermitteln

ext = lcase(fs.GetExtensionName( _

file.name))

' ist es ein MP3-File?

If ext = extension Then

' ja, ins Dictionary einfügen

dict.Add cc, file.path

cc = cc + 1

End If

Next

If cc > 0 Then

' eins der gesammelten mp3s aussuchen:

Randomize

zufall = Fix(Rnd * dict.Count)

' MP3 aktivieren

fs.copyfile dict(zufall), desktop & _

"\" & default

Else

MsgBox "Keine " & ucase(extension) & _

"-MP3s im Ordner " & mp3 & "."

End If

then the mediaPlayer Classic plays the selected files
