Deployment of Media Player SDK .Net

To use SDK on PC without SDK installed you must deploy SDK components. For AnyCPU app you should deploy both, x86 and x64 redists.

​

NuGet redist packages (file copying, no admin rights required)

​

Add required packages to your application project. After project build you'll have redist packages files in your app folder.

Manual installation

With admin rights

1. Install VC++ 2010 SP1 redist x86 x64

2. Copy MFP DLL's from Redist\Filters to app folder

3. Copy .Net assemblies to app folder or install to GAC

4. Copy and COM-register (using regsvr32.exe or any other way) SDK DirectShow filters. Most of filters also have x64 version

5. Add folder with filters to system environment variable PATH if your application exe file in another folder

Without admin rights

1. Install VC++ 2010 SP1 redist x86 x64 or copy DLLs and manifest files to app folder

2. Copy MFP DLL's from Redist\Filters to app folder
