Good. That's covered and over.
We can procceed to the technical matter.
1st - are you aware of Java Web Start (JWS)?
This is relevant to your technical point
in that JWS is a *much* better way to laucnh
some types of applications 'from a web page'.
It is not 'embedded' in a web page as you
originally requested, but I think it is a
much beter way to launch media based projects
(free floating, in their onw resizable windows).
Here is a 'simple' example of launching a
(JMF based) movie shown in a free floating
JWS window..

Note that -
- this deployment could be made much smaller for
*your* project
- it could probably be 'sandboxed' as opposed to
asking the end user to accept code signed by
'some guy from usenet' (this is a huge advantage).
So, it comes down to "what do you (or your end user)
consider to be an 'install'"? The JWS launch is much
less 'Must REBOOT dialog' friendly, since it does not
ask the user to do any such thing, but it is still
(effectively) an installation. Is that acceptible
to your 'use case'?
