I need to detect the installation of Windows Media Player 6.4 or greater. Surprisingly, I have not been able to find information on this topic. Does anyone know how to detect the presence of this player? Registry? *ocx? I am up against a deadline and need HELP!!!!

You've got the right idea. I had to do the same recently with IE ( need 4 or greater ), and DirectX ( need 5+ ). I found the answer was to poke in the registry, best place is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft. Get onto some machines with earlier versions and make sure you've found a key that persists across versions & gives you the info you need, and you're away.
