            Bug ID: 35677
           Summary: BBC iPlayer Desktop installer reports 'You need
                    Windows Media Player (9 or above) to install this
                    software.'
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.13
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: focht at gmx.net

Hello folks,

the installer looks for 'C:\\Program Files\\Windows Media Player\\wmplayer.exe'

It might be useful to provide this executable as builtin (with version
resource) to fake the presence of Windows Media Player installation now that
Wine started implementing components.
