Problem with Codecs for Windows Media Player etc

I have used WMP9 in my app to play MPEG4 movies in a borderless window OK.
The first time I played it, it found a codec on the web for me and installed it automatically.

My problem is when I want to redistribute my application with the codec without installing the whole WMP9 in the second machine and hooking the machine up to the internet.

How do I identufy (a spelling mistake - I'm not from New Zealand) where the codecs are in the original machine and how do I install them in the second machine?

The codecs can be downloded in ZIP files for W98/WME and W2000/WXP here:http://www.freenet.de/freenet/comput...e/rmp4/01.html

Unzip these, and they're install EXEs.
Add the EXEs to your distribution CD, and write a setup code to determine the OS, and shell to run the proper Codec install EXE.
