media player 11 unattended package and shortcut

[usarif]

hi all,
I am trying to create unattended Windows Media player 11 package. SO, I had done following...
1. First, download the Enterprise Deployment Pack from http://www.microsoft.com/windo...rprise/deploypack.aspx.

2. Copy the pack to a clean computer. Install Windows Media Player 11 (from a regular executable or Windows Update) on this computer and set up the options the way that I want them for all your users.

3. Install the enterprise deployment pack on the computer I've just installed WMP11 on.

4. Copy the Windows Media Player executable (wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe) to the C:\MPEDP\Redist folder.

5. Rename the executable from wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe to mpsetup.exe.

6. From a command line, run C:\MPEDP\mpedp.exe.


7. The utility will create a file in C:\MPEDP\release called mpsetupedp.msi.

Now When i had edited MSI file and create a shortcut inside, it won't create shortcut after installation. I had created Transform, no luck...

ANY IDEA HOW TO CREATE SHORTCUT OR INSTALL UNAttended...

thanks in advance...

Create a shortcut to what?

Typically for an unattended install you run the following: "msiexec.exe /i mpsetupedp.msi /qn"

You can find more on the msiexec.exe switches in this KB article.

just go to the Neowin forums & look for nLite - its a lot easier

MrChad...i don't have problem installing package anymore with msi switches. since i had created msi package through Enterprise Deployment Pack.
Problem is i can't create a shortcut for media player 11. I had created transform no luck.


darincm : IS N'T NLITE IS FOR ONLY XP ISO IMAGE?. I had installed NLITE but i thought its only for ISO IMAGE...
