All,

Im looking for some help!

Has anyone successfully created an MSI for the installation of Windows Media Player (v.9)?

I package it fine, without erors but when i install the msi i get the following error;

Error 1931: The Windows Installer service cannot update the system file [2] because the file is protected by Windows. You may need to update your operating system for this program to work correctly. Package version: [3], OS Protected version: [4]

I know the error is to do with the Windows protected files, but was wondering if anyone had managed to find a way of packaging it.

Any help would be much appreciated

Cheers,

I wouldnt even attempt to do that one myself,
Im slolwly learning to just do silent installs
and then creating msi's or scripts to change what is needed after the fact

here is a link for installing wm9 with a deployment pack

Thanks rcrusco, I will check that out.

Cheers

Just to give an update, I used the MSI suggested above, and created an MST for my Site specific details and it worked a treat.

Thanks for the suggestion rcrusco. 🙂
