Super-Magician Posted February 4, 2006 Author Share Posted February 4, 2006 Thanks. Sorry about pushing you to revise your script. I will get back to you by tomorrow morning about eliminating WMP10. The music isn't so important for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-Magician Posted February 4, 2006 Author Share Posted February 4, 2006 (edited) I changed the line in SVCPACK.INF like you said toMP10Setup.exe /q:A /c:"setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /DisallowSystemRestore"and recabbed it.However, Windows Setup gave me a command-line syntax error as it was trying to install WMP10. Nevertheless, this was a chance to see whether leaving WMP9 installed would bring back the music (note: The sounds during Welcome are always there - it's the background music that's a problem). Sure enough, the music was there this time.So, is it a WMP10 problem? I still need help though on the line in SVCPACK.INF.Thanks.-- Super-Magician Edit: I think I may have figured out the original problem that I outlined in this thread. The product key in my WINNT.SIF is not enclosed by quotation marks, and according to ref.chm in Deploy.cab, the quotes are required.

tommyp Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Strange. Are you sure that your wmp10 installer is fine? You test it by running wmp10 in your VM. I got the commandline switches from googling. Perhaps they changed the syntax around because I've seen numerous varations all over the msfn board. I haven't time to test xp installations today. If you want to help out the script project, it would be great if you can come up with a commandline switch that works. Test various commandline iterations on a non-wmp10 installation. Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-Magician Posted February 4, 2006 Author Share Posted February 4, 2006 (edited) My installer is fine. I tested the exact same commandline switches as in the SVCPACK.INF file (MP10Setup.exe /q:A /c:"setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /DisallowSystemRestore") on MP10Setup.exe in Windows and it worked perfectly without displaying the error. I'm thinking that MP10Setup.exe might have to be renamed to 8:3 formatting. I know you mentioned before that the 8:3 formatting is not mandatory; in fact, I run CDIMAGE using the switch to allow long filenames.One other command I tested isMP10Setup.exe /C:"setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /DisallowSystemRestore"which displays the file extraction progress yet still runs in quiet mode. I think this command runs quite well.A quick question - what is the purpose of the /R:N switch, and what's the difference (if any) between /Q and /Q:A?Edit: I retested the install with the same switches, except I changed the name of the installer to MP10Inst.exe. The same error displayed at T-13. Edited February 4, 2006 by Super-Magician Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat76 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 /Q:A suppresses all messages and /R:N instructs the installer to never reboot./R:N = never reboot/R:A = always reboot (showing prompt)/R:I = reboot if needed (showing prompt)/R:AS = always reboot silently (no prompt)/R:IS = reboot silently if needed (no prompt) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-Magician Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 I noticed yesterday evening that version 60205 of HFSLIP was up. Now it's gone again and back to 60203. How come? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat76 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 (edited) A little big problem. It had to be recalled.The next is gonna blow you away, haha. Edit: maybe not 100%. There's gonna be a little version in between... Edited February 7, 2006 by Tomcat76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyp Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Super-Magician - Try it now. Your prayers for WMP10 are implemented. hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-Magician Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) I hate to tell you this, but the WMP10 problem still hasn't been fixed, even with HFSLIP_60206.The error displayed is Command line option syntax error. Type Command /? for options.I am 100% certain that there is nothing wrong with my installer. Edited February 8, 2006 by Super-Magician Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-Magician Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) I know *everyone* is probably concentrating on other issues, but I would appreciate a response as I am kind of anxious to resolve this problem.Hope to hear something soon .-- Super-Magician Edited February 8, 2006 by Super-Magician Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommyp Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I have a stupid question. Did you download your wmp installer from microsoft? The reason I ask is because it works fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-Magician Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 (edited) I'm pretty sure I did. I can download it again if it might help.-- Super-Magician Edited February 10, 2006 by Super-Magician Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-Magician Posted February 10, 2006 Author Share Posted February 10, 2006 (edited) I am going to be retesting my installation (HFSLIP_60208) using a CD. Hopefully the WMP integration works. I've redownloaded the installer in case that helps. I've used CDIMAGE 2.52 (not the GUI version) to create images in the past, but this time I used CDBurnerXP Pro 3 (I've also tried burning the CD using UltraISO).I plan to continue utilizing CDIMAGE for future images, so let me make sure I am using the correct switches. Besides the switches for the volume label, time stamp, and boot sector file, I use:-h -j1 -x -o -mWould you suggest a different combination or such?I think I located it. I'm sending the correction to TommyP.If and when this version is uploaded, I will test it.
