I haven't; but I don't think it's relevant, as the same app on a PC running 'ordinary' windows XP works fine - if QT is installed, it uses QT; if QT is uninstalled, it uses Media Player. Can RunRev confirm the actual requirements, or give me a clue how to debug what's not working? (EG on OS X I now about using the console to get detailed info about what's failing to work when it tries to access some external component; is there some equivalent on Windows (XPe) that I can use to figure out what the problem is here?
