Adding the registry key for v10 makes the WMP version check happy - even if the
installer UI talks about 11.0.
You can also increment the major version but not go lower (9.x).

With that thing in place and bug 35688 fixed, neither installer nor the app
complains about old Windows media player versions.
Ideally all the Windows Media runtime version numbers (wmp.dll, wmplayer
version resources, wine.inf registry) should stay synchronized.
