Hi to all, i have install in a virtual machine(Microsoft Windows XP SP3) installAware and run installation of WMP10(windows media player 10) because i want use it on X64 operating system(windows 7 / windows 8 ) where i can't install it.



I have edit and test the package but now work correctly:



1.If i run it in a S.O microft where there is not install WMP11/12 package not run and i see an error.

2.If there is wmp11/12 installed packege run but:

-i can't select and play (in explorer) more song

-i can't insert the default player for all mp3 open with WMP10

-i can't insert it on a windows bar with command: Image(for do it i must register 2 dll ,

regsvr32.exe “%ProgramFiles%\Windows Media Player\wmpband.dll”
regsvr32.exe “%SystemRoot%\System32\wmp.dll” )



How i can create a complete package working on every X64 system?

Dear User,

Honestly, I believe that it is not possible to release what you are trying to do.

For what I know, Windows Media player requires specific OS components ... and you can't replace those available in WIN 7 with the ones that comes with with WIN XP.

I might suggest you to try with a different player ... probably there are some other that are not OS dependent as WMP.

Regards

... No,, it is not.

Those dlls are part of the OS ... you can't just include them. Because without that OS they will be not loaded at all.

Hope this help you.
