Get Version of WMP Mobile or its Active X Control

Hi all,

we want to embed videos and audio files in a html Control. Because of
the different Versions of WMP and its ActiveX controls we want to
start WMP 10 Mobile embedded and the older ones as independant
application.

How do I detect if WMP and ActiveX Control is installed or in ROM, and
which version they have?

thanks

I would guess that you can check for presence of \windows\ceplayer.exe. You
can use GetFileVersionInfo to check the version.

Let us know if this works.
