I just got a private email saying you were right and have solved the 
problem. Bravo, Trevor, you win today's prize (whatever it is.) :)

I'll Bugzilla this one. The poster was running a copy of XP-German and 
his program folder is named "programme". Thus, no match for the scripted 
file path, and no functional launch of Media Player. When he created a 
folder called "Program Files" and put Media Player into it, the videos 
launched correctly.
