            Bug ID: 35688
           Summary: iMesh 7.x reports 'You are using an older version of
                    Windows Media Player!' (needs WMP 10 version registry
                    key)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.13
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown

Hello folks,

as the summary says... and the popup seems to be harmless (app still works).

The requested version seems to be application version dependent: iMesh 7.x
wants at least WMP 10.x

There doesn't seem to exist a common WMP API to retrieve the version.
Applications use different ways to check for it.

For example bug 35677 where the installer checks the version resource of
'C:\\Program Files\\Windows Media Player\\wmplayer.exe'

This app reads WMP version key from registry.

I created the key in a fresh WINEPREFIX and it made the app happy.
