WMP10 & Hotfix 917734

[Beresford]

I'm busy setting up a basic unattended CD for now.

I've downloaded all the MS hotfixes and have manually added them into the SVCPACK.INF file.

I've also added in the MSFN copy of WMP10.

Everything works fine and all the hotfixes get installed, but when I go to the Windows Update page, I get told that I still need hotfix 917734 even though it's installed in Add/Remove programs and is definitely in the SVCPACK.INF file (btw, it's a WMP10 hotfix).

:angrym: What gives?

KB917734 must be installed after WMP10. Is it the case in your installation?

[Beresford]

Yes, the wmp10 install is right at the top of the svcpack.inf file, and then all the hotfixes are in order, smallest number first to the last number.

Really weird, after the first startup of Windows. I installed VMWARE tools and restarted the VM and ran Windows update again. Now it is saying that is doesn't need a patch?

I will reinstall the OS again just to confirm though.

Update - No, looks like automatic update installed the patch for me. So I still need help with this.

I beleive you have to install WMP10 and KB917734 after the first reboot... not using svcpack.inf

This is the way I do it (with RunOnceEx) and it works.

The Unattended guide does say that you can install it using svcpack.inf. I think I will install it using RunOnceEx.

Thanks for your help.

Well at least, you can install WPM10 wit svcpack.inf and then install KB917734 after the first reboot... it should work.
