Windows Media Lite will allow you to play and stream Windows Media files without having to install Windows Media Player from Microsoft. In all recent Windows versions Windows Media Player is installed by default, but some tools (like nLite and XPlite) allow you to remove Windows Media Player from your system or even prevent it from ever being installed. The downside to this is that vital components for Windows Media playback are also removed. As a result you won't be able to play or stream Windows Media content. A solution for this problem is Windows Media Lite, which restores those vital components. The very user-friendly installation is fully customizable, which means that you can install only those components that you want.
