Author video streaming

Hello,
I'm new to Media Server, and I've several questions to ask:
1. Is it possible to install Windows Media Server on XP.
2. (If the above answer is - yes) I've installed the SDK, and couldn't find
the way to use it in C#. I keep getting runtime errors about classId not
registered, even thought I've registered "WMSServerTypeLib.dll"

My final goal is to create a simple video conference application in C#.
Any reference would be very appreciated

Thanks,
Mike M.

1. No. Windows Media Services is a component of Windows Server 2000 or
2003.
Final Goal. Be aware that the Windows Media Products (Encoder, streaming
and player) have inherent delays built in. I haven't achieved less than 10
seconds for live streaming. I am not sure it is a good choice for a two way
protocol.

HI Joe,

Windows Media Services ships with Windows 2003 Server and will not install
on the Windows XP operating system. To learn more about WMS System
Requirement please visit the following page:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsser...qs/default.mspx

To learn more about Windows Media broadcasting delays and how to minimize
them please refer to the following article:

If you wish to create a video conference application you may wish to use
the Netmeeting SDK instead of Windows Media Services, please refer to the
following page to download the SDK:
