Cant you search for any player on the local machine, and use whatever you find. I would think a media player would need to be registered in regedit, but I dont know that for sure....

Because WPF uses mediaplayer and media players uses codecs. If you remove them you cannot play anything. Codecs can be huge in size as there are, literally, a lot of them. I think that's the reason WPF does not includes a player on its own.
