Re: Guide: How to install Windows Media Player 10 in Windows 7


Hi All!
Noob, jumping on this bandwagon

I am running Win7 Ultimate 64 bit.

Managed to unpack the WMP10 download from Microsoft with 7zip and installed all the inf files except wmp10.inf.
Didn't get any problems doing this.

I had already deleted the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ MediaPlayer \ Setup
and had done all the gpedit changes before hand.
I thought I had succeeded (had installed from the unpacked exe file instead of the inf file) as I ended up with the WMP install screen process, but when I restarted it is not installed.

I then did it with the wmp10.inf file and I get the message below.

Is the sequence of actions to do this really important? - Do I basically need to reinstall the whole operating system to reset the registry and all that and start again?

Am a bit lost now - any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks!
Jonny
