I was about to ask what version of Windows Vista, but you just answered
that - Vista Enterprise 64bit. RTM, SP1, or SP2?
Since the package does not work, you might want to get a call in to actual
support on this. The steps you are taking should of course not need to be
taken - if there is a problem on the MS end, it'd be good to sort that out
on their side rather than having you painfully need to do this.

I appreciate that's not how they're supposed to be installed. Believe me,
I'd be happy to use the setup program if it worked. :)
Since asking this question here, I discovered a post on upgrading Vista
Enterprise to play DVDs, which suggested using pkgmgr
pkgmgr.exe /ip /m:<path to package> DVDPackForVistaAMD64.cab /s:<temporary
directory>
Unfortunately this doesn't work for me either, giving event 4374 (Windows
Servicing identified that package Windows Media Codec Pack(Feature Pack)
is
not applicable for this system) in the system log. Pkgmgr seems to give up
after extracting update.mum and update.cat from the cabinet. Is there
something in either of those that I've missed to say which OSes are
suitable,
or any other way to bypass this check?

How exactly is it failing? Is there no indication of the source of
failure... ?

My version of Windows didn't come with a DVD decoder, so I bought an
upgrade
pack from Cyberlink that Microsoft helpfully linked to from WMP.
Unfortunately this fails to install silently. I used the expand
utility
to
extract DVDPackForVistaAMD64.cab, one of the files in the installer. I
then
copied these to %SYSTEMROOT%\system32 and tried to register
msmpeg2vdec.dll,
msmpeg2adec.dll, msmpeg2enc.dll manually via regsvr32 from an elevated
command prompt.
Despite this, I got error 0x80004005 (access is denied). I can't see
any
permission problems in Process Monitor, but I'm not really sure what
I'm
looking for there.
I'm afraid I'm stuck now. I don't know what I can do to give regsvr32
more
rights or do things in the right way (whatever that may be). Any tips
much
appreciated.
- I also tried putting the DLLs into %SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64 and
registering
them there, with no luck.
- According to the Video Decoder Checkup Utility, I also have a
MainConcept
(Adobe2) MPEG Video Decoder installed that came with Premiere Pro.
Could
this be causing problems?
- And, as a brief supplementary, why are Cyberlink allowed to charge
$15
or
so for distributing 3 Microsoft DLLs and a broken installer?
.
