Where are you calling the wmp.cmd file in the .sif file?
Do you have an entry in the GuiRunOnce section? Something
like:

[GuiRunOnce]
Command1="%systemroot%\wmp.cmd"

If you are already using the GuiRunOnce for another
install component you can write a script that runs
multiple components.

Hope that helps

Howdy! Howdy!

I am sure that all of you are tired of my problems by
now. I have just a few more, I promise!

Trying to install Windows Media Player 9.0 with my RIS
images for WIN2000 SP3 and WINXP Pro SP1a. I have both of
the files ( MPSetup.exe and MPsetupXP.exe ) from the
Microsoft web site. I also went to the oem.microsoft.com
site and downloaded those OPK files as well (
MpSetup_2k_ENU.exe and MpSetup_WMP9_ENU.exe ).

I followed the directions and it is not working. Now what
does that mean? Well, I am a bit long-winded and it is a
bit involved. Long story short, when I go to the c:\WINNT
folder ( for WIN2000 ) or the C:\WINDOWS folder ( for
WINXP ) and manually run the wmp.cmd file it does not run
and gives me an error that the file name, path or
something else is incorrect.

I meet the requirements for installing WMP 9.0 so it is
not something that I overlooked. Well, not in that sense,
anyway.

Here - in a nutshell - is what I am doing:

Have an $OEM$ folder at the same level as the I386 folder
within the image.

Created a $$ folder inside the $OEM$ folder.

Placed the executable ( both of them ) and the wmp.cmd
files inside that $$ folder.

Set up the AutoLogOn command in the .sif file - which
works just fine.

Here is the wmp.cmd file for the WIN2000 RIS image:

d"mpsetup.exe /Q:A /R:N /c:"setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /NoPID /
p
:
#e


Here is the wmp.cmd file for the WINXP RIS image:

"mpsetup.exe /Q:A /R:N /c:"setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /NoPID /D
i
s
allowSystemRestore /p:#e"

I have checked. Both the executable and the .cmd files
are in the respective "WINNT" folder.

Anyone have any ideas? I am pulling out my hair here...

Thanks all,

Cary

Maybe that could be the problem! I am using [GuiRunOnce]
but I do not have Command1 preceding my "%windir%\wmp.cmd
entry. I will try this. Thanks!
