Load WMV2 in Avisynth

[AlanHK]

I have a WMV file that I would like to load in Avisynth.

DirectShowScource() usually works with WMVs, but with this it says "invalid media type".

I can play it in VLC.
According to MediaInfo its specs are:

File size            : 30.1 MiB
Format               : Windows Media
Overal BitRate       : 372 Kbps
PlayTime             : 11mn 19s
VBR Peak             : 730681
Buffer Average       : 47982

Video #0
Codec                : WMV2
Info                 : Windows Media Video 8
Bit rate             : 299 Kbps
Width                : 320
Height               : 240
Aspect ratio         : 4/3

Audio #0
Codec                : WMA2
Info                 : Windows Media Audio 2
Bit rate             : 64 Kbps
Channel(s)           : 2 channels
Sampling rate        : 44 KHz

So what do I need to use this in Avisynth? Presumably a WMV2 codec? What's a good source for that?

Option 1: Install WMP11. This will include the WMVDecoder DMO

Option 2: Install ffdshow, enable WMV1/7 ,2/8 , 3/9 in the video configuration, and audio configuration
