I am a basic programmer. I need to know if is legal to make the following:

If I make a .exe ebook from html pages and one of this pages have inside the code that call the Window media Player plugin (as thousands of pages on Internet) for play a audio file inside the program (.exe book) as follow:

<PARAM NAME="SendPlayStateChangeEvents" VALUE="True">
<PARAM NAME="AutoStart" VALUE="True">
<PARAM NAME="stretchToFit" VALUE="True">
<PARAM name="uiMode" value="full">
<PARAM name="PlayCount" value="1">
<PARAM NAME="AutoRewind" VALUE="0"> ... etc etc

After calling the plugin of Window media Player from the program (.exe ebook) then begin to play the audio file but inside the own program window (.exe ebook) using window media player . If I distribute the program (.exe ebook) as freeware then there is any legal issue for calling the plugin of window media player and play with window media player plugin inside my program window (.exe ebook) ????????

I don't see any issue with this.

Wtf would be the problem? I know lots of CDs come bundled that launch the default media player, which happens to mostly be Windows Media.
