Problem removing Windows Media Player on Windows XP 64-bit

[daiphoenix]

Hi. I've just installed an nLite'd Windows XP 64bit installation, with the Windows Media Player components removed (the "Windows Media Player" and "Windows Media Player 6.4" components), but with the option to "keep Windows Media Player compatiblity" enabled, so that I could install a future WMP version. So now I tried to download WMP 10 and WMP 11 beta, but those installers fail because they say they are for the 32-bit version only. So now I am left without the ability to play WMV files, much less to view WM streams on webpages. What's can I do? Should I reinstall windows with WMP enabled?

u can using wmlite to install the windows media codecs and plugins but i dont remember how well it works on windows x64. then just use media player classic or other media player.

if that doesnt work, youll have to re-nlite ur source and not remove WMP.

wmp10 on x64 is a special situation....if u remove it with nlite u can say bye bye to future installs of wmp....and as long as wmp is not made for x64 as a separate installer........
