I removed windows media player from my winxp cd and burned the image into a new cd, but now that I installed windows without wmp I can't run some games because they ask for some dll files, I tried installing wmp again (version 9, 10 and 11) but the installer says the version is not compatible with my os (wtf?)

Is there any way to add wmp back again to the winxp cd with nlite?

unfortunatelly no...

there are too many files that u need to add and too complicated.....

u have to start all over......

as far as i know WMP11 can isntall with wmp removed... so idont know why it says you have the wrong os? (did u edit registery items regarding win ver?)

also it might be a codec problem.

as for to complicated this is not true. u can use a dependency walker to see what DLL's it needs and are missing.

Maybe, just MAYBE you could get it working ONLY if you didn't remove the whole thing (the 6.4 part too)

But Boooogy is the resident EXPERT on WMP and he knows what he is talking about...

WMP11 installs without WMP, WMP6.4 and compatibility patch

So the tell us how if you know this.

Please prove yourself.

try the add-on ver of wmp11

maybe its will work who knows good luck

try wmlite10 from here http://ksphere.free.fr/site/codecspackage.php

should install ok, then you might be able to install 11 on top

So the tell us how if you know this.

Please prove yourself.

try it yourselve and see

Alright smart a** you couldn't prove yourself so I did try and see:

Attached last session file you can see I removed all 3 components and just like we said WMP 11 DOES NOT INSTALL!

NOW quit giving false advice unless you can prove your self...

i can see your problem there. I have xp from 2002 and it works fine.

No such thing unless you mean without service packs.

okay now that i think about it..

i did not try an install with only wmp removed.

it might be possible that the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack is installing WMP codec so that WMP11 installs.

kell maybe u could try installing K-Lite Mega Codec Pack and than WMP11 see if it works.

if this not works than this is a windows xp version issue as i stated before.

no such thing? are u sure?

You still have proven nothing.
