#2 Requires Windows Media, etc. to launch

[Christian Turner]

Streamers refuses to launch if any of the apps it handles, e.g.,
Windows Media Player or RealPlayer, are not installed. This makes
it impossible effectively to support the new and the old versions of
RealPlayer in one executable. And it is annoying for users who
would rather not install WMP or Real. We need to support apps
without requiring them to be installed.
