T D Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 (edited) Well you need something to play music don't you Most media players work if you simply minimize them. WMP has a "toolbar mode" which is kinda like a remote control.Winamp should work just by minimizing it. But what M$ call "integrated music and video playback in windows" is WMP.

S0mE0nesMiNd1 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Uhmmm you cant play an MP3, or anything for that matter without a player, there are ways for the player to play it without the user knowing, but you must have a player to play a song in the first place.

Shindo_Hikaru Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 The question is during Windows setup, if that is the case, you will not be able to do so, as their would not be any support for that format nor any media player to play it for you. You are out of luck if that is the case.If you are creating a custom setup of another application (Windows is installed and fuctioning) then i is a matter of editing a few line in the script or adding the script for it.

Shindo_Hikaru Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 playing media, espcially mp3 in the backgroud would require Windows Media Player, however their is some players that can do that as well but require some intense configureation.

T D Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I get it. But you didn't say during setup Google for mplayer. But do NOT execute it at T-39 w/Detachedprogram at winnt.sif because your sound drivers won't be installed.There is also something called a stereo if you're interested... it costs around £/$10 at cheapest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P1R4T3 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 If you want some background music when users install your app, InstallShield is the tool.If you want to have some background music while INSTALLING windows, I dont think you can (codec+sound drivers should be loaded).If you want music when users run your application, then it all comes in your coding.

P1R4T3 Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Yes, doing it in your app will be easy. Check out Managed DirectX SDK, there are examples on audio playback.If you're using vb, you can always try to embed your audio files in resource files. I don't know for mp3 but I know it can be done with wav files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
