Hi friends,

I have a problem with my WPF application.In my application i have a mediaElement which is working on Windows 7 but not working on XP. After Googling i come to know that medialElement works only on
Media Player 10 or Later and in my Xp it has Media Player 9.

So My question is, Is there any solution so that without media player 10 or later medialelement works.

Thanx in advance.

Probably not, if you really need to support XP then you should only use the functionality that it supports.

If having Media Player 10 is the only critical requirement, this is not a problem. This MSDN page shows that v.10 can be installed on XP: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20426[^].

There is such thing as "prerequisites". There is no such thing as a miracle. Somebody needs to install required thing it if is really require. If a user is interested in your software and if you inform the user about it, this person will upgrade the product.
