Problems with WMP10 install

[exrcizn]

I can't seem to figure this one out. I have this command in my RunOnceEx.cmd file for installing Media Player 10:

REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "Windows Media Player 10" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "v:\Software\Microsoft\WindowsMediaPlayer\Version10\MP10Setup.exe" /Q:A /R:x /C:"setup_wm.exe /Q:A /R:N\" /f

If I run the statement shown in bold from the Run command it works (the v: drive mapping is working because other programs install during unattended from v: so I know it's not that) but it's not working during the unattended install.

Can someone help with this? I'm getting really frustrated and I know it's something simple I'm not seeing.

Thanks

I use this cmd to install WMP 10 from the Svcpack folder during the install, I have not recieved any errors

doing it this way.

echo off && CLS && mode 55,3 && color f1 && TITLE	 INSTALL WMP 10 && echo. && Echo Installing WMP10
Set WMPVBS=%SystemDrive%\WmpCup.vbs
>> %WMPVBS% Echo On Error Resume next
>> %WMPVBS% Echo Set Shell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
>> %WMPVBS% Echo Dim WMP : WMP = Shell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%SystemDrive%\TMPWMP10")
>> %WMPVBS% Echo Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
>> %WMPVBS% Echo fso.DeleteFolder(WMP)
>> %WMPVBS% Echo fso.DeleteFile("%WMPVBS%")

Direct integration sure makes life easier

[gunsmokingman]

I have not had any problems using this method. it works 100 percent

This is a real install and not a VM install.

gunsmokingman or ryanVM - could you guys briefly explain to me the difference? I'm new at this and have only tried one method of installing apps and that's using the RunOnce method. I just recently changed this to point to installs I have on my network.

Thanks ahead of time for your help.

On my site, you'll find a CAB which is integrateable either via nLite or with the Integrator app found also on my site. It directly integrates WMP10 into the CD so that WMP10 directly replaces WMP9 from the start. It's the most efficient way to do things since it requires no extra time during setup to install and it uses the least amount of space since it's mostly overwriting existing files with new ones.

And as you'll probably see from my site, I'm big into direct integration

That sounds great! I will definitely check that out sometime in the next couple of days!

Thanks!
