https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35677

Bug ID: 35677
           Summary: BBC iPlayer Desktop installer reports 'You need
                    Windows Media Player (9 or above) to install this
                    software.'
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.13
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]

Hello folks,

the installer looks for 'C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe'

It might be useful to provide this executable as builtin (with version
resource) to fake the presence of Windows Media Player installation now that
Wine started implementing components.

I used the version from win7 (I don't have XP available), but that doesn't seem
to work.

since you added a new program, really make sure the configure script is up to
date (autoconf/autoreconf).

Thanks for the tip, I had run autoconf after committing, but maybe I didn't run
make at the top level. Worked on top of a clean tree.
