Guest richard Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Does anyone know of a free codec pack that comes as an msi? The powers that be will not allow me to install VLC media player onto the curriculum machines as it is not Microsoft I know I can get codec packs easily enough but I don't want to have to install it manually.
Oops_my_bad Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 You mean you actually "asked" if you could install something on your own network? or are you bsf? If not.. get it installed!
randle Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 I used WinINSTALL LE http://www.softpile.com/Utilities/Miscellaneous/Review_16745_index.html to package up a ffdshow pack which seems to work nicely. No problems with the packaging.
ChrisH Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 Many of the popular codec packs do support a silent install. Not seen many as a native MSI but there is nothing stopping you using the silent switch in conjusction the Windows Installer Wrapper Wizard. Mine install at fist boot after RIS.
Guest richard Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 You mean you actually "asked" if you could install something on your own network? or are you bsf? If not.. get it installed! I have to get everything I want installed cleared first. To be hoin est its a pain in the rear yet if a teac her buys something then it is given to me to install with out question.....
gwendes Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 That is insane. I'd tell them to trust me or I'm off - couldn't work like that!
cookie_monster Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 That's such typical out of date school thinking, the lowly "technician" needs and eye keeping on them. Most schools now employ "professional" IT staff and they should be treated as such.

Most schools now employ "professional" IT staff and they should be treated as such. I know what you are saying because I have been doing this jobs since 1999 and still get treated like I know nothing about the job I do. To be honest it wasn't so bad when I was working in secondary schools but with primary schools its becoming a joke.
boomam Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 Wouldnt mind knowing if theres a MSI codec pack around myself. .

To be honest it wasn't so bad when I was working in secondary schools but with primary schools its becoming a joke. I was in the same boat till word got out that i have a second job part time updating/upgrading a computer network for my grandads electrical company. Based in london and turns over millions. Its a sad story though when people dont respect one another.
contink Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 Search (and know where to look) and thou shalt find http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3671&highlight=codec http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4055&highlight=codec Don't know how good they are or what they contain but RyanVM is an incredibly useful util.. Whoops... my bad.. not an MSI but still easily wrappable.
TheScarfedOne Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Ive wrapped the K-Lite Mega Pack, and we use GPO to deploy it. PM me and Im quite happy to get you going.
mrb-solutions Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Hi There, Is there any chance you can share your msi version with me or give me a very basic guide on completing it from scratch with screen shots? I am having lots of troubles with this.
sted Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 shak007's vsta/win7 code pack come as msi's (or can be extracted from the downloaded file) and deploy quite nicely over the network using a gpo Shark007's FREE Codec solutions - Windows 7 codecs
mrb-solutions Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Thanks that looks ok but i would rather find an MSI of K-lite mega codec packet as i am used to using that and know that it works with everything we need it for. can anyone help?
Senilex Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 After looking for a solution myself in that I wanted users to be able to play just DVD's using Windows Media Player 11, I came across this very small MSI. It is stated as freeware so hopefully I can post the link. It's called DVDPack.msi It installs silently and uninstalls silently. Hope this helps.
