[OPLINTECH] Windows Media Security Upgrade

[Chad Neeper]

  Just for kicks, I checked out the HTML source for the link you posted. 
Most of it is in jscript. If you're familiar enough, you might be able 
to hack it a bit or save it to a networked drive and distribute an icon 
via Group Policies, etc. That might save you a step or two.

For instance, at a glance, it appears that clicking the button calls the 
BeginIndiv() function...

It also looks like there are several links from there that take you 
directly to the correct URL to download the install.
