Well if this error is not related with SFX then whats the proper method of installing Windows Media Player 10, XP has Windows Media Player 9 by default installed. I have tried different methods for installing wmplayer10.

1- Created SFX archieve of the Windows Media Player folder in Program files and pasted in $Progs folder , simple , no effect.

2- Added in RunOnceEx.cmd :

Setup=%systemdrive%\install\wm\mp10setup.exe /S /Q /R:N /NoPID /DisallowSystemRestore /VERYSILENT /SP-
TempMode
Silent=1
Overwrite=1

remember that mp10setup.exe is SFX Archieve of original mp10setup.exe but dont work.

Put it in the same folfder as where your setup files are in.

Example :

Or like shark007 does :

;The comment below contains SFX script commands

path=%programfiles%
Setup=regedit /s "%programfiles%\Windows Live Safety Center\wlss.reg"
Silent=1
Overwrite=1

No need for this mess. It should work the way I mentioned.

Setup=quicktimealt168.exe /VERYSILENT /SP-

Setup=REGEDIT /S MyReg.reg

TempMode

Silent=1

Overwrite=1

Its no mess it works fine, and thats what i need things that work.

I use winrar for almost everything i install, and it all installs fine.

And i use this for media player 11(dont know about 10)

Setup=setup_wm.exe /Q /DisallowSystemRestore
TempMode
Silent=1
Overwrite=1

@ ashrafzia

/VERYSILENT /SP- is not a valid switch for WMP package.

I used to use this with the orig EXE:

start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\WMP10\mp10setup.exe /C:"setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /NoPID /DisallowSystemRestore"

Using the same example above:

Setup=quicktimealt168.exe /VERYSILENT /SP-

Setup=REGEDIT /S MyReg.reg

TempMode

Silent=1

Overwrite=1

Why doesn't this work for me the registry file does not apply can you help me?
