GeneralInstalling Windows Media Player 9 during deployment of .NET application. Pin

Hi.

I'm currently working on a deployment package for a .NET Windows Application. The application use Windows Media Player 9 to pre-view media content. I've read trough many of the articles on MSDN about redistributing WMP with your applications, but most of the examples on how to do this code-vice is in C++. We allso found documentation on how to run the setup.exe file with command line switches to install it in silent mode (no gui for the user, it just gets installed).

Our application allso need MDAC 2.8 to run, so we're deploying that as well. Deploying MDAC was a charm, since we found a pre-made merge module we could include in our MSI.

So, question 1: Anyone know if there exist a merge module for WMP9?

If we don't find a merge module for WMP9, we'll have to go for the commandline install in silent mode. The problem is that in our installer class, that is inheriting System.Configuration.Install.Installer, we cant "find" the file. Caouse, once the MSI installer kicks in, then current path is set to c:\windows\system32. I'm 99% sure that the reason is that once the MSI runs, it starts the MSI runtime that's in the system32 folder.

So, question 2: How can i find files inside the MSI / find out where the MSI is started?

My third alternative is to write a setup boot strapper .exe that starts the MSI. Since our app is a .NET windows application, the computer need the .NET framework installed. Therefore we need to write a Delphi/C++/VB6 app to check if the .NET framework is installed, and if not install .NET before launching our MSI. We could check for WMP9 after checking for .NET.

And, some might wonder if you're allowed to redistribute WMP. The answer is yes, if you gain a redistributing licence from MS...

Hope some one could give me a few pointers on how to solve this problem.

Best regards,
Jonas Follesø
