WMP9 contradiction?

[daddydave]

Per http://hfslip.org

HFSLIP is also capable of slipstreaming....

Windows Media Player 9 (Windows 2000)

but according to http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=57659

Windows 2000 specific features:....

* It slipstreams the WMP 9/10 codecs (not the player).

Well, which is it?

EDIT: I think I edit everything I post. I would take this to mean that the WMP10 player can of course not be installed on Windows 2000, but I just noticed I am running WMP 6.4, so I wanted to clarify.

EDIT 2: Tomcat, I just looked at your dynamic hotfix list and realized I forgot to slipstream MPSetup.exe.

2K doesn't support wmp10 ... yup you need to slipstream MPSetup.exe, as well as wmfdist.exe Edited January 12, 2007 by Kiki Burgh

Just updated the main sticky... Hope things are a little clearer now...

I recommend to include wmfdist.exe when slipstreaming WMP9 as Kiki pointed out, but it isn't a necessity. The codec files in wmfdist.exe are already part of the WMP9 package; they are just newer.
