My app. requires that a certain Mediaplayer is loaded. How do I check the Mediaplayer version whilst loading my app in order to load update or not, as the case may be?

Unfortunately, I don't believe these are the same in earlier versions of mediaplayer
The best solution I can come up with would be to check the "Installation Directory" string found under the root MediaPlayer key and check the version number of the exe.
(you could use the VerFindFileVersion function to help that process out)
Also, remember that earlier versions of MediaPlayer had the executable name "mplayer.exe", while versions 6 and up have the exe name "mplayer2.exe"
Hope this helps,
