I get a "WMCreateReader... is not found in WMVCore.DLL" error message when I launch Orb

If right after installing Orb you get the error "The procedure entry point WMCreateReader could not be located in the dynamic link library WMVCore.DLL", you most likely have Windows Media player version 8.0 or earlier installed on your Orb PC, or you do not have the Windows Media player installed on your Orb PC at all.

Orb has a dependency on the Windows Media player component WMVCore.DLL, and needs this file to run on your PC. So to resolve this issue, install Media Player version 9.0 or above.

You can update your version of Windows Media Player from Tools > Windows Update in your Internet Explorer browser menu, or you can download the latest version of Windows Media Player from Microsoft's WMP Web site.
