upgrading w/o internet

is it possible to upgrade wmp without being connected to the net? my child's
laptop is not connected, but I would like to upgrade from v.8 to v.10. I have
already upgraded on my machine but it required on line verification. Is there
an alternative?

WMP10 is available as a download from the Microsoft download site. Downloads
do not normally require a verification.

I am in a similar situation. My laptop is 2 yrs old. Never had it connected
to internet but would like to upgrade to Media 10 so I can view latest ebook.
How can I get this upgrade without connecting to the web?

Perhaps someone you know can download the installer and burn it to CD for you?
