I tried only fix from chris and it seems like nothing changed after I ran it as admin, double click on song would open it in wmp32 again. Then I saw two wmp’s to choose in mp3 defaults, choosing the second one opened song in wmp64, finally. I know it wasn’t there before, ’cause I tried to point to wmp64 folder, but with no luck.

For those who don’t know were to check which version of wmp is playing: right click on taskbar -> task manager -> processes.

I made a few fixes to the batch…

They restore the original permission in the registry after changing to x86 or x64.

I made another fix too, the file wmp-x86.reg was missing the parameters…

Fixed it all!

I am hoping to have you help:

I run Win7 64Bit. 8GB RAM I installed the OS fresh about 4 months ago and am having problems ever since using WMP 12. I tried a few times to reinstall it and Media Center 4(?)

I use Turn on Turn off Windows Feature to check Windows Media Player and Media Center, but the install puts up a warning box stating Some programs could not be installed, asks for an OS reboot, goes through update, fails, shows WMP 12 link in Menu, I double click to launch and Win7 says WMP not installed correctly, takes me to a WMP download site and I get nowhere.

Any clue how I may install these two programs via NORMAL SETUP files?
Regards, Donald

Thanks for your info Chris…
I need some help in loading the subtitle file(*.srt) in windows media player 12 in windows 7. the same file can be loaded in VLC player very easily, but I prefers to watch movie in WMP.
thanks in advance.
