WMP 9 Silent...

[Somebody]

Does anybody know how to install Windows Media Player 9 Silently for a Unattended install...

Facts:
The /Q:A /R:N switch works but it says that SystemRestore is not activated...

So... ...Does anybode know how to get around this???

It is because you added it to cmdline.txt. Move it to your winn.sif file or unattend.txt and run it under the GuiUnattend section of the answer file. For some reason that application needs to be installed after windows first boots or the install will not be covered under the system restore features.

Windows 2000:

d\"mpsetup.exe /Q:A /R:N /c:\"setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /NoPID /P:#e\"
-----------------------------------------------------
Windows XP:

/Q:A /R:N /c:\"setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /NoPID /DisallowSystemRestore /P:#e\"

Note:  The quotation marks (\") after /c: and following /P:#e are required or the application will not install.

is it posible to put this line in cmdline.txt for Win-XP instalation ??

\"mpsetupXP.exe /Q:A /R:N /c:\"setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /NoPID /DisallowSystemRestore /P:#e\"\"

Make a *.bat file....

Yes it is possible however it will not be totally unattended. A box will pop up and warn you about not be able to include the installation into the system restore. Then you have to choose wether to continue with the installation or not. The only reason you would have to have an installation in cmdlines.txt is if you need the registry changes of the application to go to all users (HK_Users). Media player installs to all users any way you install it, so just place the cmd in winnt.sif or unattend.txt. I hope this helps.

I didnt notice the system restore switch. Why would you want to install Media Player without having system restore on?? Also what is your reason why you have to have it in cmdlines.txt?
