Install Element
[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Player SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer. MediaPlayer has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer instead of Windows Media Player SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
Note
This section describes functionality designed for use by online stores. Use of this functionality outside the context of an online store is not supported.
The Install element specifies values used by Windows Media Player to install an online store.
<Install
EULAURL = "URL"

If any of the required attributes are missing or not available, Windows Media Player setup will not attempt to download and install the online store provider code. Setup will configure the offline default values as specified in the ServiceInfo document. ServiceInfo can be used when not connected to the Internet by passing the default provider name and the ServiceInfo information as command-line parameters. See Redistributing Windows Media Player Software for details about command-line options.
