Media Lite will allow you to play and stream Windows Media files without having
to install Windows Media Player from Microsoft. In all recent Windows versions
Windows Media Player is installed by default, but some tools (like nLite and
XPlite) allow you to remove Windows Media Player from your system or even
prevent it from ever being installed. The downside to this is that vital
components for Windows Media playback are also removed. As a result you won't be
able to play or stream Windows Media content. A solution for this problem is
Windows Media Lite, which restores those vital components. The very
user-friendly installation is fully customizable, which means that you can
install only those components that you want.
