Hello all, I'm a developer in Assistive Technology for blind and other disabled people. I produce and distribute some Free software called WebbIE and the Accessibility suite: http://www.webbie.org.uk Working with blind people, I'm interested in low-cost technologies using audio. Ogg Vorbis is therefore of interest to me. I'd like to install the necessary components for Ogg Vorbis support through Windows Media Player, because I use WMP through Automation and COM to provide audio services. This installation needs to be in my main installer: my user base is best served by a single, simple installation file. I use Windows Installer (MSI files) for installation because of the need for corporate and network deployment and because I have a bunch of tools and experience in using Windows Installer. I'm not in a position to change this. So, where can I find the information I need to build Ogg Vorbis support into my Windows installer so I can make Windows Media Player play Ogg Vorbis and other media types? I can work on as little as "this file here, this registry key there" or instructions on how to disassemble the Ogg EXE installer beyond the payload of files (e.g. I need to also know where it is putting things and what it is doing with them, and any prerequisites). Apologies if this is all documented somewhere, but I've checked xiph.org and the wiki and couldn't find anything. Best wishes, Dr. Alasdair King WebbIE http://www.webbie.org.uk Skype Alasdairking [email protected] -- Alasdair King http://www.alasdairking.me.uk
