WMP 12 Error

Whenever I try to start WMP 12 it says "Windows Media Player is not installed
properly and must be reinstalled. Do you want to install the Player from the
Microsoft Web Site?". When I choose yes, it takes me to a microsoft page with
nothing on it. I would prefer not to restore my computer to a previous point
because I've installed so many things. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium.
Thanks for the help!

A: If you use the Turn Windows Features On or Off control panel to uninstall
and then reinstall the player, does that fix this up?

B: If not, does running "Cmd.exe" *as administrator* and then running "sfc
/scannow" in that prompt fix you up?
