Testing now HFSLIP_60321b-wmp.CMD

with:

wmfdist95.exe (From KB891122), and WindowsMedia10-KB911565-x86-FRA.exe in the HF folder.

mp10setup.exe in HFSVPK_SW

HFSLIP let a MPDIR1.TXT file on the root folder (the one containing SOURCE, HGF, FIX etc..)

MPDIR1.TXT is just a temporary file created/used by HFSLIP while it was running. Tomcat must have forgotten to have the script delete it. You can safely get rid of it.

Tomcat76: Please fix this!

error at the end of the install

There used to be problems with putting MP10Setup.exe in HFSVPK_SW, but I had tommyp fix all of them. What exactly did the error message say (sorry, but I can't read French )?

KB911565 will not install with MP10Setup.exe in the SVCPACK folder as it will be processed by setup before WMP10 is even installed (I believe this is still the case with 60321b as it is with 60317 and earlier).

Why do you have this is your HF folder if you are not installing Media Center Edition? Edited March 22, 2006 by Super-Magician

"" not validated by m$ ant therfore wouldn't be installed.

this appears numerouse times, as well as Advanced INF errors.

1) Info for WMP test build

Place in HF folder:

MPSetup.exe or MP10Setup.exe

wmfdist.exe or wmfdist95.exe

KB911565

Either CLASSIC.WM_ or CLASSIC.WMZ need to be in your SOURCE folder if you want to have it. This is normally the case for Windows XP but not for Windows 2000.

Known current limitations:

- KB911565 won't be processed separately (WMP9 or 10 must be in HF)

- KB911565 won't be processed at all on Windows Server 2003

To do:

- fix the limitations (LOL)

- slipstream WMP6 codecs

It's clear it isn't ready for consumption yet. I've withdrawn it for the moment.

MPDIR1.TXT is useless. It's a leftover from an earlier version of the WMP script section but it's not used anymore. I forgot to delete the line that creates the file.

[Tomcat76]

There's a newer version (60322a-wmp). It uses a whole new approach.

It's still untested, though. I really don't have the time ATM...

[EmRoD]

Testing 60322a-wmp now:

mp10setup.exe, wmfdist95.exe (From KB891122), and WindowsMedia10-KB911565-x86-FRA.exe in the HF folder.

[EmRoD]

Still the same Advanced INF install Errors a T-13.

trying without wmfdist95

[EmRoD]

same errors too without wmfdist95

[Super-Magician]

Tomcat: Any luck with the WMP confusion (full slipstream)?

[Tomcat76]

No. It's sad that the error messages don't provide more info. As far as I can see, it looks like what I'm trying to do can only be done through SYSOC.INF... which requires a lot of INF editing...

[EmRoD]

Found a workaround for my sysprep issue:

After resealing a fresh install, done with HFSLIP_60317.CMD:

MP10 and WindowsMedia10-KB911565-x86-FRA.exe in the HF folder.

no more advanced inf install errors, windows was looking for WMP10.inf in the %windir%\inf folder, and those file were not present.

i just created a SFX with WMP10.inf and WMP10.PNF placing thoses 2 files in the %windir%\inf.

no more errors

[Super-Magician]

Great! What was the difference though?

And what is the PNF file for?

[EmRoD]

the difference is only for the first login with a new account created via the minisetup (after rescell).

the pnf file is installed in %windir%\inf with wmp10.inf, on a "real" MP10 install, i suppose it contains installation, or configuration infos.

here's my sfx

WMP10INF.exe
