easyindian Posted December 30, 2006 Author Share Posted December 30, 2006 My post description says WMP11, in post content wmp11 filename is included. still u want to know whether it works with wmp11? ;-)This utility is around for sometime now. but the M$ uses a nonsense name for it. so it is difficult to find in a search with windows media key words.I prefer u install wmp11 first open and set preferences and music store. then run this utility. answer the question to add preferences from local machine. so when u install it on target machine and run it, it wont ask for validation, preferences, URGE setup, etc..

UtCollector Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 It does not support the 64 bit version of wmp11. Well it will make the *.msi installer but it will not install in win64 bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regiscb Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Hi all,Thank you very much for this way to integrate WMP11 into unattended WinXP installation.Just a question, which can be stupid, but which is blocking for me.I did as explained in the tutorial, got my .msi file, but everytime I launch it, either from "run" or from my unattended CD, the dialog box with the unattended suffix list (as if I had typed mpsetupedp.msi /help) appears. This happens if I type no suffix or /qn or whatever else.If anyone had an idea of a potential solution, I would really appreciateThanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regiscb Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Sorry, my question was not detailed enough.That is what I did. On my WinXP, I have installed WMP 11, then set all I was asked (confidentiality, file association, etc...). Then I closed my WMP and proceed the way you mentionned by selecting yes to all I was asked in the mpedp.exe cmd box.The msi file is created without errors and when I launch it, whatever the suffix is, it expands in a temporary folder and right after this launches the /help window. When I click OK, the install process is stopped and the temporary folder is deleted.The problem is that I don't see the meaning of this /help box appearing. I initially thought I had written the wrong suffix but I tried everything and it won't change.BTW, could you explain me what a URGE setup is?Thank you for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyindian Posted January 9, 2007 Author Share Posted January 9, 2007 (edited) OK. Try a fresh install of WMP11. not using command line parameters or unattended. double click the exe, validate, install, select preferences, etc...URGE is a music service by MTV built into WMP11. It's the same as Apple's iTunes or Real network's Rhapsody. You can choose to configure URGE if you have an account with them or you prefer to. otherwise skip it.I did not face any problems with this method as I have already installed it using unattended XP CD in more than 10 times.ORTry starting the MSI with msiexec process. Like..... msiexec /i WMP11.MSIPlease let me know if you still facing the problem. Edited January 9, 2007 by easyindian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regiscb Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 (edited) Well...I tried some other things, nothing worked!I first did exactly as you mentionned, redownload a proper version on the link below :http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/0...p-x86-FR-FR.exeThen, I reinstalled it on my WinXP (without any issue), and did the procedure you explained once again, and finally ran the MPEDP. I tried with and without importing the computer settings and I also tried with an english version of WMP11. Each time I have the following windows : http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/892/helpwmp11uh6.jpgCould you please do me a favor and try creating a msi file with the french version linked above and keep me aware?Thanks a lot Edited January 10, 2007 by regiscb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyindian Posted January 13, 2007 Author Share Posted January 13, 2007 (edited) sorry my friend.I think you have bad luck! i downloaded the French version you mentioned and made the MSI with settings from my computer. The installation started without a problem. I am using windows xp english. i did not get any help screen as you mentioned.Sorry man. try in another system Edited January 13, 2007 by easyindian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
