How do I uninstall Windows Media Player 11 (from Windows XP)

I tried to uninstall Windows Media Player 11 using the 2 methods in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934372/en-us
The 1st method rolled back Windows Media Player 11 , but I want to uninstall it.
The 2nd method gave me the following pop-window:
Run
C:\WINDOWS\$ntUninstallwmp11$\spuninst refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network,
and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location.
I am surprised that Microsoft supplies a product that one cannot uninstall.
I would very much like to uninstall Windows Media Player 11 -
If that is not possible, I could re-install it.
Thanks for any helo.
OK  

Is this a CM07 question?
Does the directory/ file exist?

  • Can't play videos on Windows Media Player from Xperia z3

    I have recorded som videos and while trying to load them onto my computer via USB some show up and others just play the sound without the video?
    Can anyone help with this problem?

    Hi Gearld, welcome to the community!
    I would advise transferring the files through PC Companion using the Media Go app like Phy has suggested & also playing the videos through VLC player rather than Windows Media Player as this VLC player can read a large number of formats and is most likely to play your videos smoothly.

  • Windows Media Player for Windows 7 corupted and will not open

    My Windows media player was working until just recently I got this Notice.
    The file wmploc.dll has version number of 12,0,7601.18150  where 12,0,7601,17514 was expected.
    Windows media player is not installed properly and must be reinstalled.
    Do you want to install the player from Microsoft web SIte?  I have gone to web site and it will not download.
    For Windows 7 Home Premium.  the download says that my computer in no combatable.

    Hi，
    Windows Media Player 12 is compatible with Windows 7, other editions will be not compatible, so where did you download this WMP?
    In addition to the solutions provided by Balaji Kundalam, you can also try this,
    If you have any other 3 rd party music player installed, I suggest you uninstall them first, cause some 3 badly code program can cause the corruption of WMP, then go to Control Panel\Programs and features\Turn Windows Feature on or off, scroll down
    to Media Feature, untick it, restart your PC, then go to the same place, re-tick this option, restart PC.
    If for some reason the re-installation of WMP is not clean, once uninstalled, try go to %ProgramFiles% (and %ProgramFiles(x86)% for 64-bit OS) folder, and delete the Windows Media Player folder.

  • Windows Media Player on Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter Edition

    I have a server with Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter edition installed. This server is being used as a terminal server and I needed to have Windows Media Player installed in order to use a certain feature of a program running on the terminal server. After
    researching online I found that all I should need to do is install the Desktop Experience feature and Windows Media Player was included in that. After installing the Desktop Experience feature and restarting the server, I was not able to find Windows
    Media Player anywhere. I tried the same process on another server running Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter with the same results.
    I was curious as to if this was a Datacenter thing where it was specifically not included with Datacenter edition. I was not able to find any documentation stating that WMP was not included in Datacenter, and everything that I found stated that the feature
    sets for Standard and Datacenter were the same, it was just the licensing for them was different.
    Curious to see if it would get installed with Desktop Experience on Standard, I spun up a Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard VM and installed Desktop Experience and sure enough WMP was installed as well. I then upgraded the Standard VM to Datacenter with a
    Datacenter product key and after a restart WMP was still present.
    I have also tried this exact same process with Windows Server 2012 (non R2) Datacenter edition and WMP was installed as expected, so it appears that this is only a problem with R2.
    My question is, I this "works as designed" and I was just not able to find the documentation to support it or is this a bug?
    Update: After doing some more playing around I noticed that if I did a clean install of Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter and then installed the Desktop Experience feature and WMP does get installed. Then I remembered that on the servers that I was trying to
    install WMP on and it wasn't working were upgraded from 2012 to 2012 R2. So I created a brand new VM and installed Server 2012 Datacenter (non R2), then upgraded to Server 2012 R2 Datacenter and installed Desktop Experience and sure enough, WMP did not
    install. So now I really think it is a bug and it is related to the 2012 to 2012 R2 upgrade process.

    Hi Caleb CSG,
    Thanks for your feedback.
    I'll feedback a report to Microsoft, and I also recommend you can post this bug in Microsoft connect.

  • Windows Media Player in Windows 8 Pro-64 Bit - Server Execution Failed

    I'm running Windows 8 Pro - 64bit.  I have also installed Windows Media Center add-on.
    Windows Media Player returns an error "Server Execution Failed" when attempting to load any non-music media file, such as .avi, .mp4, .wmv, etc.   These files open and play properly in the base Windows 8 "app" Video, and in Windows Media Center.
    WMP opens OK from a desktop shortcut and updates it's music libraries.  It plays all types of audio-only media files properly. 
    I have tried all the various "fixes" for various versions of Windows and WMP including removing WMP as a feature, rebooting and "re-installing" it as a feature... I've run regserv.dll, etc. all to no avail...
    I just want WMP to be the default "media" player for all standard file types...
    Anyone have any suggestions... ?
    Thanks... MTGB

    You can try the following suggestions.
    Method 1.
    1. Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services. Find the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service, stop it temporarily.
    2. Close Windows Media Player 12 if it is started.
    3. input %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player\ to Windows Explorer to find the folder.
    4. Move all files in the folder to another place as a backup. Move files in the specific folder will reset database.
    5. Restart service and Windows Media Player to check the result. 
    Method 2. 
    1. Open command prompt with Admin.
    2. In the command prompt type the following command
         net localgroup "Administrators" "NT Authority\Local Service" /add
    3. Restart the computer to check the result.

  • Windows Media Player in Windows 7 displays the same album art picture for nearly all songs!

    Hello,
    I have just installed Windows 7 Home Premium as a clean install on my PC.  I then imported all my music files back onto the PC and opened up Windows Media Player and found that probably 95% of the songs have the same album cover (Timbaland - Shock Value) against them, instead of how thety were before (either the correct album art, or no album art at all).  Does anybody have any ideas what is going on here as it is pretty annoying that nearly every song has the same album art cover.
    If anyone has any ideas I'd be very grateful.
    Thanks,
    Ian

    Hi Parkesian,
    I would like to suggest you reset the database for Windows Media Player 12 to check the issue.
    Clear the Windows Media Player database
    ========================================
    1. Close Windows Media Player.
    2. Press Win + R to open Run, copy "%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Media Player" (without the quotation marks) to the Open box and press Enter.
    3. In the Media Player folder, delete all of the files.
    Note that it is not necessary to remove the folders that are also in this folder.
    4. Restart Windows Media Player.
    At this point Windows Media Player will automatically rebuild the database.
    What’s the result?

  • Windows Media Player 12, Windows 7 does not play AVCHD (.mts) video in embedded mode, but does in normal mode

    I've run into a problem with WMP 12 on Windows 7 involved in playback of AVCHD files.  When run in 'normal' mode from Windows Explorer, WMP opens the video file and plays it back beautifully.  However, I'm building an application with
    WMP embedded.  When running WMP from within the application (c#), the same AVCHD plays audio but no video.
    I've seen this type of problem before with respect to audio playback of mp4 files in WMP from embedded-mode:  the MP4 license prohibited audio playback when run from embedded mode but played the audio fine when WMP was launched from explorer.
     I was able to solve this particular problem by using a 3rd party codec pack.
    In this case, I've tried a number of packs K-Lite, etc., but to no avail.  My problem persists.  I suspect perhaps I've encountered a similar licensing-type issue with a SONY CODEC and the state in which WMP is playing back files but I
    have not yet been able to track it down.
    Any ideas?

    Hello,
    It seems that you are using the Windows Media Player control in a window form forum, 
    as far as I know, the Windows Media Player control does not raise an exception when it encounters an error such as an invalid URL. Instead, it signals an event. Please try to set an event to try to catch the expcetion as described in the link below:

  • ActiveX: Opening a separate Windows Media Player 9 window and controlling playback

    Hey all,
    I am trying to open a video in WMP4 automatically in Labview and control it. There is an existing ActiveX container but it remains on the front panel. I can control its playback, but cannot pause and resume.
    I can also open the video on a WMP9 window outside of LabView through Labview, but I have not been able to control it. Merely start it, and then watch it till it finishes. This is the preferred operation I need to figure out.
    LabView Version: 8.6
    ActiveX application: Windows Media Player 4
    OS: Windows XP
    My questions are:
    a) How do you pause and resume a video file if using the ActiveX container for which LabView provides
    b) How could I access the playback controls of an externally opened WMP instance through LabView (because I want to automate the playback based on acquired signals)
    Note that the ActiveX refnum is WMP4  whereas the installed version on XP is WMP9.
    Thanks in advance for your help,
     Hasan
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I do not have the
    Vision Development Module in LabView. I think it would have been under
    `Vision and Motion', however that menu is empty.
    I have
    managed to do what I want in the ActiveX container that shows the video
    as a part of the front panel. I start the video, I pause it and the
    screen goes blank (I want this feature. I could also get it to show the
    frame at pause, but that does not suit my needs). When I resume the
    play, it seeks to the point at which I paused the video.
    To
    do this, I use the invoke property -> controls -> 
    methodforcontrols-> play / stop functions and the currentposition
    property as both read and write. I do not have the windows media
    software development kit.
    I have attached the VI which
    describes what I have managed to do. Changing the first property node
    to an invoke method -> openplayer node will open an external player,
    but still do the required control of video playback on the wmp
    container on the front panel, without affecting the video being run on
    the external window. It seems like I should be able to tweak it and get
    it to do the same thing on the external instance of WMP, yet I have not
    been able to figure it out.
    Thanks for looking at this,
    Hasan
    P.S. - I couldn't upload the video that I was using, hst_1.mpg because it is not a valid extension. Please substitute it with another file before running. Sorry for the inconvenience

  • Windows Media Player for Windows 7

    Ok here's the deal. I had downloaded a digital copy of a movie and now I cant delete it. The reason I am trying to delete it is because I think it has made my Windows Media Player screensaver stopped working properly. The WMP screensaver worked fine until that. If someone could tell me how to fix this issue it would be greatly appreciated.

    Nothing. But really my main concern is why the windows live screensaver has stopped working. I get a pop up saying that it has stopped working and windows is searching for a sollution. It worked when I got the computer.

  • Button in captivate to click wmv url to open in windows media player streaming windows xp

    Hello,
    I'm trying to insert a link to a button in one of the slides in captivate 7 (www.blahblahblah.com/filename.wmv). When user clicks on the button, the video opens as streaming video in windows media player.
    This works in Windows 7 and IE 8 or 9. It is not working for Windows XP and IE 8. when the user clicks on the button, instead of streaming, it downloads the video from url.
    Half of our company employees still are on windows xp and I am trying to troubleshoot it. Please let me know if you need more information.
    Please advise...Thanks, John

    Don't launch the WMV file directly from the link.
    You need to get your HTM file to point to a .WVX file that then launches the WMV file. 
    Google for information on the Microsoft website about launching WMV files correctly.

  • No such interface supported - Windows Media Player 12 Windows 7 Home 64bit

    I have Windows 7 Home 64 bit on my laptop...it's an original install.
    When I double click on .mp3 files, .avi files or .mpeg I get an error message that says "No such interface supported". All files are set default to open with Windows Media Player.
    If I open WMP I can play the files directly through there...however clicking on the file to open it will result in the error. 
    Anybody know how to fix this?

    Open the Start Menu, go to All Programs - Accessories , right-click
    Command Prompt , and select Run as administrator . In Command Prompt, type the following:
    sfc /scannow
    and press Enter. Let it run until it completes. Does it find any problems, and if so, is it able to fix them? Do you still get the messages afterwards?

    Hi,
    It seems that you want to disable that media player, the way shared by Pisteuon works for creating a blur for both window and controls.
    If you want to disable that media player, you could consider using the following way, in this case we need the class below.
    ImageCapture.
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Drawing;

    SelectObject(hdcDest, hOld);
    DeleteDC(hdcDest);
    ReleaseDC(hSrc, hdcSrc);
    Image img = Image.FromHbitmap(hBitmap);
    return img;
    Add a panel to bring to front, and draw what that media player looks as its background image.
    Panel myPanel; //add that panel to disable that media player
    private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    if (this.myPanel == null)
    myPanel = new Panel();

  • Installing Windows Media Player from the .bin format

    I am trying to download WMP. I just downloaded it through the apple site but when I downloaded it the file was in the .bin format, titled "WindowsMediaInstaller.bin". I then tried to open this file with stuffit, and this produced another file titled "Windows Media.sitx". I am unsure about how to open this file to complete the installation.
    Thanks!!!

  • How do i uninstall adobe flash player from linux?

    flash player is no longer supported for linux. nee to uninstall and install (please reccomend something) a player that will replace it. thanks

    Hi fuzzyface,
    Sorry for any confusion!
    There's no need to completely uninstall flash player; you just need to update to the latest version and everything should work.
    To update to the latest version:
    # On your keyboard, find the ''Ctrl'' and ''Alt'' keys. They should be near the bottom-left of your keyboard.
    # Hold ''Ctrl'' and ''Alt'' down. While holding them down, press ''T''. Then let go of ''Ctrl'' and ''Alt''.
    # A terminal window should appear.
    # In the terminal, type (or copy and paste) this command:
    * ''sudo apt-get update''
    # At this point, you'll be asked to type your password in. When you type, it might look like nothing is happening - but don't worry - your password is going in. If you make a mistake hold down the backspace key (the one above enter) for a couple of seconds to delete everything, and then type your password again.
    # After typing your password, press enter.
    # Your system should automatically check for updates. It will be finished when the text on the screen stops updating and you can see something like ''fuzzyface@fuzzyface-laptop:~$'' at the bottom of the screen.
    # After this, type in:
    * ''sudo apt-get upgrade''
    # Your system should then start installing the updates - and this will include an updated version of Flash. Pay close attention, as at one point it might ask you if you want to continue. When it does, type 'y' and press enter.
    # Once it finishes and you can see something like ''fuzzyface@fuzzyface-laptop:~$'' at the bottom of the screen, close the terminal window.
    # Close Firefox and then open it again, and Flash should be working again.
    Let us know how it goes!
