Aaron Posted October 5, 2003 Posted October 5, 2003 http://www.MSFN.org/comments.php?catid=1&id=5228Basic one for now, it works perfectly fine. Anyone wanting to go advanced can try out Greenmachine and Royalbox's scripts, they're still fixing out some issues though.
Aaron Posted October 6, 2003 Author Posted October 6, 2003 Anyone wanting to better that can install WMP9 and the 2 post-WMP9 updates in svcpack.inf as well. Basically it can install anything, not just hotfixes. MSI packages will have to be done in GuiRunOnce though. I'm getting the assumption that svcpack.inf can replace cmdlines.txt completely.[SetupHotfixesToRun]MPSetupXP.exe /Q:A /R:NQ819639.EXE /Q:A /R:NQ828026.EXE /Q /U /Z /NI did get a "System Restore is disabled" message when WMP9 was installing, but I think that can be disabled by using the /DisallowSystemRestore switch on MPSetupXP.exe
GreenMachine Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 Yes, SVCPACK and CMDLINES are suspiciously similar, and apparently interchangable. SVCPACK seems to be "richer", as you have the full .INF install structure. Neither method allows for a command line with a quote character, so MDAC and .NET cannot be done from there. I seem to remember a similar problem with WMP9, and I don't think I found the answer: that is why I went to the silent switchless WMP&MM2.
RyanVM Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 Doesn't 819639 become obsolete with 828026? 828026 replaces wmp.dll with a newer version than the version replaced with 819639.
Aaron Posted October 6, 2003 Author Posted October 6, 2003 You're right Ryan, MS forgot to mention this in their KB Article. Gonna edit the hotfix list now
