wmdrmskd.dll is missing from your computer

[Squeeto]

At the end of the install, I get a couple of messages about unregmp2.exe:

 The program can't start because wmdrmskd.dll is missing from your computer.

 

Any idea?

 

Thank you

That would depend on how you prepared your install disk, and what programs you added and/or removed.  Essentially, we need more information to be able to help you diagnose your problem.

I removed some Windows Media Player stuff. I may need to put back something.

 

I will keep playing and report back what works.

Also, WindowsMedia11-KB928788-x64-INTL.exe updates wmdrmskd.dll.

 

Which brings up another question, if I remove a package, when MS has an update (hotfix), will it install the files or not?

Typically, IF you removed a package cleanly and completely, then an update that effects only the files in that package will not be offered or installed.  As sort of an example, and a bad one but it should serve the purpose, if you do not have Office installed, then you are not offered updates for Office.

 

Cheers and Regards

All better:

 

preset before:

Windows Media Center
Windows Media Codec Pack
Windows Media Codec Pack Encoder
Windows Media Format Runtime
Windows Media Player DVD Registration
Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service

...

 

 

preset after:

...

Windows Media Center

Windows Media Codec Pack Encoder

Windows Media Player DVD Registration
Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service

Glad you got it figured out.  Of the two you did not remove, one likely had a component something else required to run properly.

Agreed.

And thank you btw.

 

I took the recommendation from Jeronimo's packages_xls

 

http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/136837-windows-7-x64-vlite-extreme-removal/

 

that had "keep" beside a few packages.

 

I don't need the ultimate minimalist Win7 disc, I just want to remove some of the crap.
