Where can I get media player 8.0 ?

[jpday]

I am trying to play a video clip with media player 9.0. I read the postings in the user forum that 9.0 does not show the video when used from LabVIEW and that the corrective action is to downgrade to media player 8.0. Where can I get this player , and can it coexist with media player 9.0. I've searched all over the 8.0 and can't seem to find it anywhere - thanks

You are right... Seems like Media Player 8.0 is well hidden by MS.

Will version 7.1 do the trick?

If so follow this link:

The only reference to version 8.0 that I found was for a palm-PC.

The full download of Media Player at the MS website does not list version 8.0.
See link: link

According to some download websites... and I quote: "You won't see a link for Version 8.0 here. Windows Media Player 8.0 is NOT FREE. It's only available with Windows XP Home or Windows XP Professional."

I should ask this question. Which OS are you running? Is it Win-XP? If so, it should be part of your installation CD.
