druiddk Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Hi,Im trying to get MPC to play WMV video files without having WMP6.4, 9.0, 10.0 or whatever installed - ONLY MPC and codec(s).Currently im using MPC and XP Codec Pack.However MPC just says its unable to render the file.I have tried various codec packs even from Microsoft but no use.If i try MPC on a pc that still has WMP9 installed I can play the files fine.If i can somehow leave WMP9 (or 10) installed but without it being shown up anywhere that would be ok. Just do NOT want it to handle anything.Please give your input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucketbuster Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 (edited) I used WMPLite and it worked.I only installed the codecs (Directshow and Audio ones).I only tested in VMWare.EDIT:You have to restart your computer, otherwise MPC won't play WMV's.

druiddk Posted December 30, 2005 Author Share Posted December 30, 2005 (edited) When I try to install this i get a popup error before setup completes:Unable to register DLL msdxm.ocxCode 0x800004005If i click Ignore then it continues and I can now play WMV.However this popup is bad for unattended install... please any ideas???EDIT: I ended up making an InstallRite package to overcome the popup.

No6 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I have the exact same problem. Searched high and low but can't find anything to solve it so this is one of the programs I install manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I_Broke_My_MHZ Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Here is what I did:1) Downloaded wmfdist.exe and wmp6cdcs.exe2) removed WMP with nLite3) (might not be needed anymore) took the wmploc.dll file from winxp sp1 and copied it with this commandCopy %systemdrive%\install\wmploc.dll %windir%\System32This prevents an error with the codec installation...I forget what that error is exactly.4) had the batch file install unattended with this codeECHO.ECHO Installing WMP runtimes.start /wait %systemdrive%\install\wmfdist.exe /QECHO.ECHO Installing WMP codecs.start /wait %systemdrive%\install\wmp6cdcs.exe /C:"SETUP_WM.EXE /Q:U /R:N" /Q:U /R:N5)(optional)Removed DRM related files with these commandsdel "%windir%\system32\drmclien.dll"del "%windir%\system32\drmstor.dll"del "%windir%\system32\drmv2clt.dll"del "%windir%\system32\blackbox.dll"del "%windir%\system32\asfsipc.dll"del "%windir%\system32\msnetobj.dll"del "%windir%\inf\drm.inf"del "%windir%\inf\drm.PNF"rd /S /Q "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\DRM" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
