It invokes the Windows media player instead of the
default program specified in the registry.

    The "play midi" command also assumes that the program is
    installed in [c:\iabc], even if the installer is directed to
    install in a more appropriate location (I used
    [c:\progra~1\iabc]).

    In latest version it will use the specified media player but
    uses a default temporary file starting with ^ character
    which none of the players appear to like

    It looks like the problem is that iabc is using a forward
    slash rather than a backslash.

    It's trying to play:
    <midi directory>/<temp file name>

    But for windows, it should be:
    <midi directory>\&lt;temp file name>

    If I open my midi player and just do "file open" on the
    temp file, it plays fine. The problem comes when iabc
    tries to execute the incorrect command above.
