alienboo Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 I see that there is a lot of interest in installing WMP 10 on Server 2003so heres a full explanation :extract all the files from the WMP 10 install package and find these filesCODECS10.INFDRM10.INFMPCD10.INFMPPRE10.INFMPSTUB10.INFWMDM10.INFWMFSDK10.INFWMP10.INFWMSET10.INFWPD10.INFWPDMTP.INFthese files contain the lineClassGUID = {F5776D81-AE53-4935-8E84-B0B283D8BCEF}just put a semicolon in front of that line or delete it from each file.now, select all INF's except WMP10.INF ( there are 15 INF's ) , right click and choose INSTALL.when windows complains about protected files and bla bla bla, ignore it.select WMP10.INF , right click and choose INSTALLto finish the saga, run SETUP_WM.EXE and have fun. Sorry duds, i forgot somthing, stupid meCreate new reg file and paste the following into it :Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Setup\Installed Versions]"wmp.dll"=hex:00,00,0a,00,3e,0e,00,00"wmploc.dll"=hex:00,00,0a,00,3e,0e,00,00"wmplayer.exe"=hex:00,00,0a,00,3e,0e,00,00run the file and thats really all to it.sorry again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what3v3r Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 first of all, thanks for this guide, but will this in any way cause stability problems? because i figure that MS must have had a reason not to allow the installation on w2k3 server...

what3v3r Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 is it possible to automate the installation of the inf files and setup_wm afterwards? so that the installation can be integrated in an unattended setup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
