Because it’s been problematic finding the installers from the start, it hadn’t even occurred to me till now that we can do it now like the Hofa player maker does it, and just copy the DDP Player installer folder in with every DDP. It’s only 44 MB, smaller than the apps that go in with every Hofa player maker DDP.
Since the DDP Player folder is definitely in the additional content folder in the 9.5.15 full installer now, and the DDP player install checks for updates, it would really be pretty much the same as the Hofa if we just copy that folder in with every DDP.
But I guess Steinberg has decided to do it differently, if they actually do make the downloads separately available as they say in the version history.
