Hi there,

I am creating a new installation image CD to our school, but I have some very big security related issue here...

I thought that I just install FFDSHOW and thats it so people can watch whatever they need to watch on these machines. And because ffdshow has been installed for some machines during past years, I thought that it is not even a problem. However, now the big admins on head office has decided that ffdshow is illegal, dangerous and full of viriis and stuff, so it cannot be slipstreamed to that image.

So. On the first days of divx media, people installed support for those media files just by registering numerous dll files. Is that still possible? One DLL cannot harm anyone, but surely gives necessary media support for Media Player, right? Does anyone know how I can do this?

(Yes. VLC-Player is also dangerous, illegal and so on... *sigh*)

I don't know the answer to your question, but I can make a suggestion. Buy some rat poison, mix it into some brownie mix and bake some "special" Christmas goodies and take them to the head office and feed them to your big admins. They are a bunch of morons.

Probably the only reason they find the free, open source software "illegal, dangerous", is because they are getting paid if they buy and use some commercial crap software.

Yes. Guess what... Rat poison is also illegal ja very dangerous for them ;)

Seriously. That have pop in to my mind several times. When they explained to me why I cannot tell people to use firefox as their primary "lunch our surfboard" I felt like that buldozer driver on Hitchhigers guide. Somehow it all should make sence what they were saying but I just born on wrong planet or dimension...
