Today I tried to install the Asus Speaker Express Plugin under Vista and found out that the InstallShield-Setupscript does a version check which fails to detect Media Player 11. After searching the net i found the solution and would like to share it in case someone else has the same problem.
1. extract the self extracting setup.exe archive
2. Download sid (Sexy InstallShield Decompiler) from
http://sadjadbp.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!21F12BB61B822DFA!180.entry where you can also find a short instruction
3. open the setup.inx script in the folder you extracted the setup files
4. search for the "Windows Media Player 9" error message
5. change the condition in the line before the "if" statement by right clicking on the equals "=" sign and change it to not equals "!="
6. click on "file" - "patch"
7. replace the setup.inx scirpt by the temporary script created by sid (same directory)
8. execute the extracted setup.exe
If don't like to modify the setup.inx, I have attached a patched version to this message.
Best Regards
