[QUOTE="Zamzummin, post: 922730, member: 131760"] Hello, I recently heard about your MediaPortal software and am really excited to try it. However I can't get past the Windows Media Player 11 requirement for installation. I am using Windows XP SP3 without any version of WMP. Before you get upset at me, it is a genuine "N" version of Windows XP. See the following link: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Media_Player#European_Commission_case[/url] I obtained this copy of Windows because I do not agree with being forced to use Windows Media Player as the default option. Currently, I use MPC-HC with CoreAVC, Haali Media Splitter, and AC3filter. I want to try out your software but I do not want to download WMP11 to do so. Is there any way around this requirement? A member of your team posted on another topic that [I]"WMP is only needed for the BDA and DirectShow system updates." [/I]Is there any way to get these updates without installing WMP11? I have tried installing the WMP11 runtime package and making a fake registry key to make it look like my version of WMP is 11.0.5721.5280 but it did not work. I am willing to find and register individual dlls but I am not willing to install Windows Media Player because it is too intrusive and would defeat the purpose of having this version of Windows XP. Any support is very appreciated. [/QUOTE]
