WMP10 confusion

[LaptoniC]

In the manual it says

Media Player 10 can go into HF folder if you want it slipstreamed.It links to http://www.btsunattended.net/Projects/WMP10_Slipstreamer which is now at driverpacks.net.Anyway,what I should put to HF directory?Original MP10setup.exe or slip streamed files by above.It is really confusing.

Ps:I will try HFSLIP on Turkish Windows XP(-TRK) I hope it doesnt make any problems.

The file MP10Setup should be placed into the HF folder. I don't have a link readily handy.

FDV can you fix/remove the link?

It's been discontinued. You can read all about it here: http://www.driverpacks.net/Projects/

They still have it up for download (see previous link) but advice you to use other tools:

I was confused by this as well and decided to skip it. It's already hard enough to get the XP hotfixes...

You don't need a repacked installer for WMP10. You use the one directly from M$FT. If you're running English and you want WMP10, put this file (MP10Setup.exe) into the HF folder. It will be slipstreamed when running HFSLIP. Remember, this is OPTIONAL. Here's the link.

link fixed, thx

I also don't know if I need the WM9/10 codecs when slipstreaming WMP9 or 10. I insert both WMP9 as well as wmfdist.exe into HFSLIP when making a Win2000 CD just to be sure...

[tommyp]

Tomkat, For w2k, put the WM Codec (wmfdist.exe) file in HF and you are good to go. You can't slipstream wm player 9 or 10 into W2K. If you are doing XP, you need the codecs (wmfdist95.exe) and the player (mp10setup.exe) in the HF folder (remember, it's optional). Hope this helps.

Uh... I have Win2K HFSLIPped with WMP9 running on the test partition... It's working.

So I still need the codecs when slipstreaming the player? Thanks.
