I would like to know if someone had already add this software to XPE ? If it does, can you explain me how to proceed !

Thanks.

I've already add this software to an XPe configuration; In fact, the easiest way i found is to add the portable version of VLC : VLC portable (portableapps.com).

I proceed like this : VLC portable is a software which need only a repository in order to work. So I tooke this repository and i  created a self extraction (SFX) archive (thanks to winrar).I made a component which include this archive in my configuration. Then, I made a component (RunOnce component) which extract the VLC archive.

 PS : when you create a SFX whith winrar,  you have some usefull option, like mask mode, or directory to extract.

Can you give me more details like how to make a RunOnce component !

Thanks

 In component designer, create a new component, then you go in ressources and add RunOnce Request.

Then for the differents field, go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms940034.aspx .

Hi kenshi,

I don't have a direct knowledge about the VLC installer but you have two options to launch it during FBA:

RunOnce Request Resource: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb499137.aspx

or

FBA Generic Command: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb521399.aspx

These are both resources you could add to your "custom VLC installer" component. I prefer FBA generic command because it gives you a level of control over when the installer is launched. This is accomplshed by setting the phase parameter in the resources. Be sure to set it later on in FBA after alll the Microsoft specific steps are complete (so, 8500+). For more about FBA phases look here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb521597.aspx

HTH,
Brad

By means of perseverance I arrived alone there. A key of register was missing ! I'm also going to try FBA generic command to see what is the difference.

Thanks

Hi everybody !

In fact, like you can read above, i succed to install VLC Player using a self extraction (SFX) archive (thanks to winrar). But the problem is that at the end of the extraction process the archive keep in the hard drive.

Someone know how to delete it automatically ?

thanks

Hi,

Maybe you can try to make a RunOnce Request (after the request which exctract your sfx of course) whith the command line "DEL" (del toto.exe will delete the toto.exe file, if you are in the right folder of course, you can go to the right folder whith the "cd" command). I've never tried this, but it is what I would do.

you can visit http://www.sophos.fr/support/knowledgebase/article/13195.html (in french) to know command line you can use.
