Hi. I can't seem to find where to download Media Player
for the Pocket PC. I have an iPAQ Runing Pocket PC version
3.0.11171 (is that the same as 2002?).

Where can I download Media Player or a similar (free) program?

Thanks for the help.

tring to develope a video streaming application using Windows Media Player

Thanks

AFAIK you can't. WMP8 is built in to PPC2003 (and the SE update) and
cannot be removed. I can't think of a way to run them side by side

WMP9 has more complex registry settings which could conflict -
although if you look closely in the registry there are settings for
version 8 too (even though it's not installed).

What is it you want to do on 2003SE that you can't with WMP9 ?

Cheers - Neil
