How to install Media Player 9 using MSI

Some time back Sergey Morozov wrote that he is able to modify the wmp ini
file at the below link.

I would like to ask Sergey how he did that.

Outside of that method, you should probably take a look at the Windows Media
Player 9 Deployment Pack. Available from <
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/enterprise/deploypack.aspx > it
can be used to generate a deployable MSI package. The deployment pack includes
both a set of tools and a whitepaper.

If you want to make the generated MSI from the deployment pack installable by
non-admin users, you'll also need to make the following change:

-------------------------------------

1) Update the text found in part1.wim in the root of the installation
directory as follows:

Change AdminUser to Privileged

From:

<Condition Message='[ProductName] can be installed by users with
Administrator privileges'><![CDATA[AdminUser=1]]></Condition>

So the end result should be:

<Condition Message='[ProductName] can be installed by users with
Administrator privileges'><![CDATA[Privileged=1]]></Condition>
-------------------------------------

Hope this helps,
