WMP 11 x2?

[Smirnoff]

Just had a look in Add/Remove. I notice that there are two references to WMP
11.
One is Windows Media Format 11 Runtime and the other is plain Windows Media
Player 11.
Anyone know the difference?
Do I need both?
The reason I ask is that they both show as 7.99MB.

If you're interested in details, ask here:

Do I need both?
Yes.

Nope. No size data are provided when installing these applications and
therefore, that size (if showing up) is *not* reliable at all. See also

"How does Add/Remove Programs get the size and other information?"
