? Install SP2 without WMP9/10

Hi,

I do NOT want WMP 9 or 10. Is there a way I can install SP2 but keep
WMP8.1?


Thanks.

Hi

SP2 will install WMP 9, there is no way to avoid that...

WMP 10 is a download you control.

I know, but it will obviously be included in SP3 and WMP9 is already
included in SP2. I need a way of installing SP2 and keeping WMP8.1.

Is it possible to uninstall WMP9 and install WMP8.1? Is it possible to
slipstream WMP8.1 back into a copy of SP2? There has to be some way.
