Uh... and what if we did remove WMP9 files?

Since I've read someone that you don't answer nLite questions, I won't even ask how to add it back into my custom XP CD -- a fresh copy restart looks the only option though...

So how do I install this in my already installed Win XP? I tried to d/l WMP10 and run it, but it won't do it since it says a newer version is already installed.

The RVM Integrator link doesn't work, so I haven't tried it -- if that's what you'd recommend.

You've answered your own question. If you removed WMP9 with nLite, you'll have to start with a fresh CD.

As for the non-working Integrator link, try reading my FAQ

virdicyer · Post by **virdicyer** » Fri Mar 24, 2006 3:49 am

I had searched through the forum for the answer, but I didn't find it. Took a minute, but I found the answer hidden in the Post-SP2 FAQs. I wasn't looking for help in the SP2 patch, so I hadn't thought of looking there.

I had downloaded plenty of files from the site before with no problem, but never tried to get the integrator. Continously trying would take too long... I just found the integrator on a different site.

I don't want to reinstall Windows just to get WMP going... I guess I'll go look for a program that will override a reinstall.

Found a easy way to make it so I can install WMP. It's all good now.

if you like add programs like wmp and other .cab files
only add this as hotfixes with nlite, thats all
simple, really?

To confirm,

If i removed Windows Media Player 9, before or after integrating this pack, it will result in Windows Media Player 10 either not installing at all or only partially?

laze.

Sereby · Post by **Sereby** » Wed Mar 29, 2006 11:01 am

yes thats correct

just_laze · Post by **just_laze** » Wed Mar 29, 2006 11:37 am

And the same is true for all others add-on packs created by Ryan that either upgrade or replace existing Windows components?

seems to conflict with RVMUpdatePack2.0.4. i got an error saying that "windows can't recognize cmdow.exe..." during windows setup..

RogueSpear · Post by **RogueSpear** » Tue Apr 04, 2006 7:56 pm

I used 2.3 today with 2.0.4 Update Pack and all went well. Not to sound like a know it all or anything, but I don't see how this pack could interfere with cmdow.

i'm using WPI and it has cmdow.exe in its Tools directory.. i think it is the prob... i just duno why the error pop up right after installation of MediaConnect in this pack.. now i try to delete the cmdow.exe in the WPI folder. thx

RogueSpear · Post by **RogueSpear** » Tue Apr 04, 2006 9:00 pm

Ahh.. ok. I'm not familiar with WPI, so I don't know exactly where cmdow fits into your install routine.

i need a quck answer... will this work if i removed media player 6.4 but i leave wmp9?

Post by **RyanVM** » Mon Apr 10, 2006 1:49 pm

Probably, though I've never personally tested that scenario. As always, try it in VirtualPC before a live environment

no is not going to work.....

RogueSpear · Post by **RogueSpear** » Mon Apr 10, 2006 2:38 pm

I accidentally stumbled upon something today. Somehow my associations with Medial Player Classic were taken over by Windows Media Player. But that's not the issue. When I went to play a .wmv file it opened with Windows Media Player and my available RAM immediately hit zero (0). I've tried a number of other wmv files with the same result. I then tried this on another computer that used 2.3 for the install and got the same thing. Last, I tried on some computers where 2.2 was used for the install and everything worked fine.

I'm just having difficulties assertaining if this is a 2.3 issue or something else. The wmv files will play just fine in MPC without consuming all available RAM. It's just WMP that does that. I'm wondering if anyone else can duplicate this problem.

Post by **RyanVM** » Mon Apr 10, 2006 2:59 pm

Send me a link to one of the files and I'll try it out

EDIT: File received and WFM

slimzky · Post by **slimzky** » Mon Apr 10, 2006 11:56 pm

i got a problem with this. i tried it in Virtual PC. using nlite to integrate, then i removed components except not selecting media player classic & wmp9. aftaer the stup is done, i dont see wmp10 installed , even the classic one. but i only see a "windows media connect" folder in my program files dir.

Post by **RyanVM** » Tue Apr 11, 2006 12:05 am

Sounds like an nLite issue to me. Take it to their forums.

boooggy · Post by **boooggy** » Tue Apr 11, 2006 12:26 am

is not a nlite issue. if u want wmp 10 to be slipstreamed u have to leave wmp 6.4 and wmp 9. (dont remove them with nlite)

Post by **RyanVM** » Tue Apr 11, 2006 9:44 am

He specifically said he *kept* WMP9 and WMP6.4

Well excuse me for going off what he said he actually did rather than the initial question

bluavatar · Post by **bluavatar** » Tue Apr 11, 2006 4:53 pm

With this pack integrated into windows, upon installing and running Real Rhapsody, it says that my WMDRM Licenses are corrupt and need to be fixed. It tells me to re-install WMP10 from microsofts website which i do..however it always fails due to the integration of the driverpack. Could there be any explanation on how my WMDRM licenses could ebcome corrupt just by using this pack? this happens on every computer installed with this pack.

Thanks

Post by **RyanVM** » Tue Apr 11, 2006 5:11 pm

Did you remove CAT files when integrating?

Post by **RyanVM** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 5:37 pm

2.4 is up.

I just wanted to clear something up for other readers of this thread. Ryan's WMP addon is not at fault with the issue I described earlier. It's something particular to my installs. I just haven't found out what yet.

Denney · Post by **Denney** » Thu Apr 13, 2006 3:26 am

Hey Ryan. I'm always confused by this pack and Boooggy's. I never know which one is the most updated one...

Anyway, are you and Boooggy still going to integrate you're two packs like you hinted at last year?

Is there a definitive comparison between your's and his? I know there are posts about it but I really can't make any sense of it all.

MrNxDmX · Post by **MrNxDmX** » Thu Apr 13, 2006 5:04 am

see their first posts, there writes what they include...here we go:
Ryan's 2.0.4

Code: Select all

Windows Media Player 10 build 4332
Windows Media Connect 2
KB895181 Hotfix
KB895316 Hotfix
KB910393v2 Hotfix
KB911564 Hotfix
KB911565 Hotfix
KB912455 Hotfix

and boooggy's:

Code: Select all

Windows Media Player 10 build 4019
Windows Media Connect 2
KB888656, KB895181, KB894476, KB895316, KB896097, KB900399, KB902344, kb905592, KB910393, kb910998, KB911564, Kb911565, Kb912454, Kb912455.

and boooggy's also

contains my preffered icon for wmp and vmc also my tweaks. i quited the xp media center 2005 update and "disable check for player updates" tweak cause it seems that m$ finally fixed it....

and i love that tweaks...

Post by **RyanVM** » Thu Apr 13, 2006 1:14 pm

The biggest difference between my addon and boooggy's from an enduser standpoint is that he sticks to the XP-only fixes, while I include MCE2005 fixes as well. Also, he's changed some icons around and such.

Denney · Post by **Denney** » Thu Apr 13, 2006 1:46 pm

Sorry to ask these questions but what is the advantage of having the MCE2005 fixes?

I think I need to clarify better. Why pick Boooggy's pack if it has less fixes than your's? I know that seems like a biased question but I'm wondering what fixes your pack has that would cause someone NOT to use it and use Boooggy's.

I know about the icons and those registry tweaks. Those could be only the drawcards from my point of view. Although I hate the registry edits.

Besides a different build number, I'm not really sure if I have a good answer to that question. I'm just a freak who likes everything as current as possible

Can we expect an addon for WMP11 any time soon?

Thanks.

I'd been using Booogy's addon for that reason! LOL So thanks for another update pack the way we really want it
