You must be running Tiger. SOME might think this guy is crazy, but
it's true. I have verified it on several systems that I have installed
tiger on. Stuff-it expander is NO LONGER included in the OSX 10.4
"TIGER" distribution. If you install tiger 'fresh' you will not have
stuffit expander on your system anywhere. I think apple has "silently"
been on the path of removing STUFFIT and converting to ZIP.
And to answer the question, as far as I know, quicktime does not play
.wmv files, only Microsoft media player.

I'm trying to play a movie that has a .wmv suffix. I can't do that in
Quicktime (or can I?). I tried to download the Microsoft player (since
wmv seems to be a Microsoft format), but what I downloaded is a
package that has a .sitx suffix (Windows Media.sitx), and no
applications (apparently) in the mac can install that application.
When I double click on Windows Media.sitx (the package I downloaded),
it asks me what application I want to used to install it.
First, is there a way to play .wmv files on the Mac. Second, if not,
is there a third-party package that can process .wmv files and that
can be installed on the Mac as a normal app.
Thanks in advance,
