Hi All,

I would like to push out Media Player 10 to our end users using GPO, the
only issue is that it's in an executable format. Does anybody know of a way
I can change this?

I alreadly try the Wininstaler LE but that gave me issues. Why dont
Microsoft make all there updates in MSI's if they intend us to use them in
GPO's?

Microsoft provides a tool called 'Enterprise Deployment Tool (EDP)' which
can convert the exe file to msi based on options you choose.

But I am not sure whether it works for media player 10 or not.

Hi , If I didn't know any better I would swear that your making that up. I
can't find this tool anywhere. Do you have a link?
