Wmv is a Windows media format so don't expect non Windows phones to support it natively.

Here's supported media fo android: http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html

Well perhaps you're asking in the wrong forum. Maybe you should be posting this in the Eris forum or ask your friend about it. Perhaps its rooted and running a modified ROM.
HTC does not support windows media formats natively.
Since my psychic abilities will not work until FroYo arrives that's all the information I can give and it doesn't look like many others have much more to offer.
