Creating an Unattended Installer
"An unattended installation is a silent installation that doesn't require any user interaction. Run the setup with the command-line parameter -MakeUnattended to create an unattended setup. A wizard called "Unattended Install Maker" will appear. Follow the instructions given in the wizard."
klmcodec353.exe -MakeUnattended

- Don't create a start menu folder
- Deselect 'Reset all settings to there default'
- Create file type associations 'windows media player'
Video formats - add realplayer and quicktime
Audio - Add ogg. mpeg4 audio - ffdshow - hide tray icon
- Speaker setup 2.0 (Stereo)
- Volume normalisation
Having experimented with K-lite Mega pack in order to get realplayer working we have found that it installs Media Player Classic even when this has been deselected in the GUI (this is because MPC is necessary to play 'streamed' realmedia files). An option in the future should anyone want to play realmedia files is to install 'Real Alternative lite' which has all of the codects and includes the Directshow plugin to enable realmedia content in Windows Media Player. We also loose the ability to play FLAC files (when using the standard rather than the mega pack), but there is lots of internet noise about the version of coreFLAC which they use not working and as none of our clients use it or at least have ever asked for it, we are going to leave it for future development.
