KB911565 not installing correctly in SVCPACK


Recommended Posts

I'm making an updated install CD and whenever Windows finishes the install I go to Windows Update and it shows I need KB911565. I have it in the SVCPACK folder on my CD, and the entry is there in the SVCPACK.inf, and there's even an event in the System Event Log that says "Windows Media Player 10 Hotfix KB911565 was installed". However, Windows update still shows I need to install it, and Windows Media Player is still reporting to be version 10.00.00.3646

Is anyone else having this problem? If I install the hotfix after Windows finishes installing, it works fine, and while I could install it as a RunOnce, I'm wondering why it's not working via the SVCPACK.

I suspect the following:

The reason this patch does not integrate properly at T-13 is because it replaces WMP.DLL in the i386 distribution folder. Subsequently, this patched file is overwritten by MP10 setup ( if you install MP10 via SVCPACK.INF or any other method prior to T-13). When the Hotfix is run, the version of WMP.DLL is incorrect thus it fails to install properly...

Just a guess on my part, however. Not quite sure how to work around this issue at this time.

Okay, I'm getting more frustrated. I tried downloading the newest WMP10 install from Microsoft and installing it via a batch file at GUIRunOnce, but the **** thing won't install! It comes up saying that I already have the latest version of WMP10 and all the fixes (which I don't). However, if I run the exact same command that's in my batch file in the Run dialog box, it will install just fine.

Has anyone been able to get WMP10 installed and fully patched with an unattended install since the release of the Feb. '06 patches?

Are you saying delete the wmp10.inf from C:\WINDOWS\inf or from the install directory of WMP10?

I installed XP without trying to install WMP and I cannot find a wmp10.inf in C:\WINDOWS\inf. There is a file called wmp.inf, is that what you're saying I should try and delete before I attempt to install WMP10?
