Re: Windows Media Player 11 Won't install properly

Hi Trixie,

You could try this worked for me:

1: Delete the following folder:

%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player


2: Locate and delete the follwing registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer

After completing these steps, launch WMP11. You'll probably see a screen
that resembles the installation screen and the EULA. Proceed through the
setup and the library database will be recreated. Also, the "Add to Library"
screen will actually retain the folders you've specified for monitoring
(what a concept!). You'll have to go back and re-add all of the files to the
library, but it's worth it.

If not succesfull red-ownload WMP 11 the file you have might be damaged and
follow above steps again.

Let us know if this solved your problem please?

Best regards,
Michel Denie
