Here's a simple trick to install the latest wmp9 (build 2848) on Win2k: rename the .exe to .zip, then unzip it in a new directory and run "setup_wm.exe" to launch the installation.

This will bypass the message "This version of Windows Media Player can be installed only on Windows XP and Windows .NET Server." that you get on a Win2000 box.

(apparently this procedure also works on 98 & ME.)

Thanks to Binks site (http://www.windowsxp.nu/) for the tip
