RealPlayer Enterprise

I know you guys like RealAtlernative better, but in a corporate environement it's not really an option. So I was toying around with RealPlayer and discover that they actually make an Enterprise version. Here's the link :

EntInst.exe -s Works for silent install. But most of the registry tweaks for the normal RealPlayer don't seem to work.

Did anyone worked with this version of RealPlayer and could post some tweaks.

BTW, Real also make a manager for its clients which builds clients based on a set of preferences but the registration fees are just outrageous! I assume all the stuff the manager does could be done by registry tweaks, then again, I may be wrong

I've never tried changing it through registry settings, but yes the tool to create the customized installations does allow you to set everything. We use it here at work, and basically, everything is locked down on it. You make your changes, and it builds it all into the single file .exe.

Yes, but you probably paid for the tool right? For my 800 PCs they want 4,000$ US. I doubt I'll get that approved for a program we hardly use.

And the license of the RealPlayer Enterprise Manager Demo version says that all clients created with it will expire after 14 days following the 30 days evaluation period. So no luck there either.

In other words, I'm trying to find out how to do what the Realplayer Enterprise Manager without the manager.

The last time I talked with a RealPlayer rep, you can use RealPlayer Enterprise for free. You must post the executable on an intranet site and employees install from that link. Otherwise, if you deploy or make part of your image, you must buy licenses. Weird, I know....don't know if it still applies. This was about 6 months ago.
