WMP 11
Has anyone out there repackaged Windows Media Player 11 yet? I though there would be an Enterprise Deployment Pack out for this but it looks like it has not been released yet. If you go to the Windows Media Player 11 for pros page, there is a link for enterprise deployment and it redirects you to the page for the old EDP (for WMP 9 & 10). Does this one work with WMP 11? It looks like there's a step for validation in this new version and this is something I will desperatly need to automate. Thanks.

you would think that, but some people want to do things the hard way . I used the Enterprise Deployment Pack from WMP 10 to repackage WMP 11 and it appears to work fine. The only thing I'm trying to figure out is how to hide the Urge tab (the online music library). If anyone out there knows how to do that please let me know. Thanks.

Hi dan,
you have to set the following Registry Key to 1:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences\AcceptedPrivacyStatement
looks like a job for self healing, a logon script or 2. Active Setup entry (WMP allready uses Active Setup for the user setup).
Hope this gives you some ideas.
Regards, Nick

You've got to be using the Enterprise Deployment Pack for 10 (because the one for WMP11 has not been released yet and it's looking for MPSetup.exe which is the name of the executable for WMP10). Just rename it to MPSetup.exe and it should work fine. As for validation still occuring after packaging, that's odd becuase I never ran into that issue after packaging into .msi format. I've even deployed through SMS to 500 workstations w/o a hitch (would try through GPO but we are not allowed to use that deployment method anymore). I'll try again to see if I can reproduce the validation issue when using the deployment pack but I really didn't to anything special to get rid of the validation.

Yes rename to mpsetup.exe and place in redistributable folder. Run build.bat and this will create the .msi file for you. Actually John R was right. Upon further inspection, logging on under different profiles and launching WMP11 did bring up the Windows Genuine Validation prompt. Too bad we don't have a server in our organization yet to do validation (which is required for Vista). When extracting the WMP11.exe file I've found a file called LegitLibM.dll (which is used by Windows Genuine Validation). I've tried removing the LegitLibM.dll, recompiling the files back into an executable using iexpress.exe then using the enterprise deployment pack to create an msi from that. It didn't work. Back to the drawing board.

sorry to be really late in this party.
I've repackaged wmp11 with the deployment pack.
used a transform to add in the reg keys works fine.
but i am left with 2 extracted folders (those 23ASf24765 folders..) on c:\
yet when I run the install on virtualbox the folders delete themselves.
Anyone have any clues? Or ways to get rid of the folders unattended.
