Where is the MSI file? I can't find it. I need to hack it with Orca.

You can use the command line, and use the following commands:

/Q - Quiet Mode

/T:<full path> - Specifies temporary working folder

/C - Extract files onl to the folder when used also with /T

/C:<cmd> - Override install command defined by author.

Try those.

Something kind of cool. WMP10 will play partially download video files (.dat) from KazaaLite. You need to close KazaaLite first.

Another thing I noticed (don't know if anyone has mentioned it) it installed a new Service..."Windows User Mode Driver Framework" ...unless I just never noticed this Service installed before, but I doubt that, I check them fairly regularly.

I used the following to extract

d:\mp10setup.exe /T:d:\mp10test\

It extracted fine.

Go to the library and go right to the bottom of the list on the left. Is that what you're talking about?

hmmm can't really see it since i am at work right now and can't test it, would it be too much to ask for someone to post a screenshot of what he means?

[Storm]

did any one know that WMP can now open image files too? :D

WTF! :crazy: didnt see that. is it ok to set this thing to manual or disable?

[linuxman111]

I got the installer extracted, but what file do I use orca on to change the installer? Its not seeing any of its file types in my extracted folder. Things that make you go Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

This is a feature of SP2.

Leave it enabled.

[Muessig]

I've just installed WMP 10, and I've seen it installed on a friends machine. Everything runs ok but my machine hasn't updated the Mp3 or Media player Icon... whichever is the right one... wheras the icon did update on my friends machine. What do i do to make the icon update?

(I think I posted this in the other topic by mistake)

no I installed SP2 last week, I swear to god it wasnt there. its either .NET framework SP1 or WMP10 installed this service.

[Bold_Fortune]

It wasn't there.

I am going crazy over this little red X box ;-) on top right corner. no plugins running. browser cache/cookies everything flushed. system restarted still that thing is there. :angry:

I know it is supposed to show that msn butterfly over there!!!

(t appears when I select "MSN Music Preview" online store.)

I dug a bit into registry and found these entries... :whistle:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Services\MSNMusic]

"ImageLargeUrl"="http://beta.music.msn.com/client/msnlogo.png"

"ImageSmallUrl"="http://beta.music.msn.com/client/msnsmall.png"

"ImageMenuUrl"="http://beta.music.msn.com/client/msnsmall.png"

the third entry I've entered manually but is still not helping and it opens from a browser window.

if you look under napster section all entries are there..and napster icon works fine :blink:

[xta]

It can be uninstalled? or will it stay in the sistem 4ever(till i reformat)??

[Bold_Fortune]

I wonder if it has anything to do with having removed the MSN folder in C:\Program Files. Just a wild guess. Wasn't there a butterfly icon in that folder? Let me check a backup image where I have the folder installed. Again, this is just my "first" wild guess. LOL

[Bold_Fortune]

Yeah, there is a butterfily .ico (icon) file in it. Closing in on it, maybe.

[BajiRav]

Naah the image is pulled from MSN Music

just paste "http://beta.music.msn.com/client/msnsmall.png" in ur browser and it will load

[LastSamurai]

a google search came up with this:

User-Mode Driver Framework

The user-mode driver framework implements a subset of the kernel-mode framework functionality, including support for Plug and Play, power management, and asynchronous I/O.

Using the user-mode framework, developers can create drivers for network-connected devices and some USB devices, such as portable media players, cameras, and cell phones. Although these drivers run in user mode, they will be standard Plug and Play drivers that the system finds and installs in the same way as kernel-mode Plug and Play drivers.

guess I'll just leave it alone...

Same here bro, maybe we have been fooled.

For extracting those files i just used Rigt Click->Extract To...

but they are useless without installer (in Windows 2003).

[cybershark]

Thanks for the links

[Blob from TVForum]

does the logo animate

[Bacon]

Why haven't the icons for the files I have associated with WMP10 changed to reflect the new icon?

[neoufo51]

I like the new video sharpening filter. Really cleans up those movies you get off Kazaa and such.

Options-->Video-->Performance (i think, im at work right now)
