rstryker Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 I downloaded the OPK's from http://msfnforum.cjb.net/DX9 installed great without a switchOK problem...I tried intalling WMP9 without a switch and it poped up and asked me to accept install.Then I did /? and it said /Q = QuietI tried again useing the /Q switch and it fixed that but I got a popup saying system restore was disabled did I really want to install. It suggested I cancel and turn system restore back on before installing.Any help would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMachine Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 It has to do with a "disablesystemrestore" or "disallowsystemrestore" switch (whatevah...). AaronXP has posted about it, but you will have to do the search to find it. The WMP9 and MM2 combination and DX9, from the same site, are switchless, silent installations, you have the standard WMP9 web download (I believe...).

Aaron Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 I have a feeling the seperated WMP9 and MM2 OPK files on http://msfnforum.cjb.net/ are different from the WMP9MM2 bundle, because I never got a systemrestore message during the svcpack.inf process when using the bundle version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMachine Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 Oh, you had to make me work!setup.exe /Q:A /R:Nmpsetup.exe /Q:A /R:N /c:"setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /NoPID /DisallowSystemRestore"Those are the commands used inside the combined installer, the first being MM2, the second WMP9. Inisde the combination is (I believe...) the file that is used above. The message does not chow in GuiRunOnce, as SystemRestore is running (maybe...)

DaveXP Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 opk means you dont need switchs to install it but in this case you do because of various problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 so i hate to be direct but what is point your simply using diffrent switches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveXP Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 OPK version normal dont need switchs, and have more stuff that comes with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marztabator Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 What extras exactly are bundled inside the OPK version? Does it include the WMP9 Bonus Pack?I recently burned an unattended XP CD with the seperate WMP9 OPK referenced in svcpack.inf and existing in "I386\Update". Am I gonna have problems now when I test it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 I don't know where Dave got the idea it contains more stuff, its just a switchless installation that OEMs use when they make System Restore CDs for their users.I recently burned an unattended XP CD with the seperate WMP9 OPK referenced in svcpack.inf and existing in "I386\Update". Am I gonna have problems now when I test it?afaik, only dx9ntopk.exe and wmp9mm2.exe are switchless. The seperated WMP9 and MM2 aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMachine Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 As Aaron said, both for the fact that they are just switchless (no extras), and that only DX9 and WMP9_MM2 are switchless (true OPK). These are developed to go in the OPK (OEM Pre-installation Kit). Just a convienience, though one could easily do something similar with IExpress, WinRAR, WinZip, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marztabator Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 I must ask one question: is it okay to use the standalone WMP9 OPK on my CD, so long as I use a switch or two in the command line? If so, should I choose plain ol' /Q:A /R:N, or the line that GreenMachine mentioned on the first page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
