Check Windows Media Player Version

[mikeroyle]

I need to check if Windows Media Player version 9 or later is installed and quit installation if it isn't.

Can anyone help me with this - any code samples would be appreciated.

There's a WMF plug-in that checks for WMF 9 - is that what you need maybe?

No, I need to check the version of the installed Windows Media Player (if any).

[MichaelNesmith]

Hmm, a Read Registry command ought to help with that, then.

I believe that

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows Media\\Format

normally contains the version number.
