your wish is granted

the files come from a "win xp home sp2 french OEM".

Nothing added, nothing removed.

hope you'll solve my problem

Thanks

Thanks for trying to solve my problem

I changed the following parameters

I then tried again and... Still unsucessful

But I noticed that

- before slipstreaming wmp11, txtsetup.sif is OEM (ms dos txt) coded

- after the process, txtsetup.sif is ANSI (windows txt) coded.

I don't really know if my problem is due to this fact but I know that I must choose the right format when I create my setup files (winnt.sif, runonceex command lines...). Otherwise "french" characters (é,è,à,ç,...) may not appear correctly !

thx to microsoft that is the problem in detecting the encoding of text in txtsetup.sif....

till now we didnt succed to make it work right ...but we are working on it....

toto try us-english not british .......

I've just tried the us-english setting trick.

It failed again...

I simply tried with nlite (1.3rc3) and ms wmp11 setup file.

It seems to integrate fine and the resulting txtsetup.sif file seems to be ok.

I have not yet tested the iso...

What is actually the main difference between integrating wmp11 with nlite (using the ms setup file, not any pre-made addon file) and using your slipstreamer ? Is there a genuine validation problem with nlite (eg. win xp should be validated before opening the first session...) ?

I will give it a try (nlite + ms wmp11 setup file), just for test purposes

*** a few minutes later ***

of course, it didn't work : many errors occured during the win xp setup process.

I now know that nLite can't simply slipstream ms wmp11 setup file

So, waiting for a better solution, I will use the SVCPACK method to install wmp11 (Thanks to AlBundy33)

"wmp11-windowsxp-x86-FR-FR.exe /Q:A /C:""setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /NoMigrate /P:#e /DisallowSystemRestore"""

i tested with xp french and its working fine.....

[toto51]

Well done !

I've just tested the new version and it seems to work like a charm.

No more "french" characters missing.

I'll try to make an iso in order to do a final test.

I'll keep you advised.

Thanks

hi boooggy! just wanted to share that using your wmp slipstreamer was a walk in the park ... & i didn't have any problem slipstreaming it in my SOURCE via HFSLIP ... just 1 comment though, i opted for custom icon (the red one) but it didn't come out as like that on the created desktop shortcut ... i'd love to have a different icon though ... well, anyways what's important was being able to successfully slipstream wmp11 ... thanks!

it's vista wmp 11 icon with red background on the white play button boooggy, would the updates you mentioned above be already included when using the slipstreamer? thanks!

btw, in relation to the post above, if i were to use slipstreamer (& i'd assume KBs aforementioned have not been integrated to it yet), do i need to download each hf (including non-public ones? have tried searching for it from xable's site but i couldn't find these or perhaps, i didn't search well enough) ... thanks!
