Remarks

If any of the required attributes are missing or not available, Windows Media Player setup will not attempt to download and install the online store provider code. Setup will configure the offline default values as specified in the ServiceInfo document. ServiceInfo can be used when not connected to the Internet by passing the default provider name and the ServiceInfo information as command-line parameters. See Redistributing Windows Media Player Software for details about command-line options.

Note   Use of this element requires that you sign a redistribution agreement with Microsoft. Contact your business representative for details.
