Hello Autodesk. I have been attempting to get information via telephone on obtaining a copy of the Windows player and Developers kit but have yet to talk to a human being because of your voice mail system. Can anyone out there help me on this? My goal is to incorporate a player into a Windows entertainment product I am developing. Thank you in advance for your help.

Fred – I'll get your request to someone able to fill your it. What's your phone number ?

In the intervening time I got ahold of a human at Autodesk and ordered the SDK. Thanks.

On more or less the same errand, I spent a long time with Autodesk today. I called their 707 number, was referred to their 800 number in WA, pressed 1 for the "Product Update Line", spoke to 7 people in succession and was finally cut off. A second try got me Tamsin (sorry if the spelling isn't right) who promised to find someone who knew about the upgrade AND delivered (thanks, Michelle). Initially frustrating but there are some very real people there . . .

Mabyn, Please call 415/491-8534 and if you don't get me directly, simply leave your shipping address and telephone number. I'll send the kit to you. John

Sorry, John, I meant to make clear that it all came out fine and sure enough I got the kit two days later. Please take it as a constructive anecdote, and thanks very much for the upgrade.

This toolkit is awesome. I've been able to throw a file browser together with Visual Basic in no time at all.
