Wmp 11

roy66 · 2007/06/30

I have removed WMP 11 from Program files and from Add/Remove and deleted all shortcuts
I have run search and deleted all.
I have also unticked it in Windows Components.
When I go to install WMP 9 I get the mesage that a more recent version is installed therefore installation won't proceed.

Which version of WMP were you using before 11? May be best to reinstall 11 and follow these instructions from Microsoft ....

Rolling back to a previous version of the Player
Windows Media Player is a feature of the Windows operating system and cannot be removed entirely. However, in Windows XP, you can roll back to the version of the Player that was previously on your computer.

You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group to perform the following procedure.
Disconnect any portable music or video devices that might be attached to your computer.
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
In the Category View of Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs, and then click Remove a program.
Click Windows Media Player 11, and then click Remove.
If Windows Media Player 11 is not displayed in the list of currently installed programs, then try the following:
At the top of the list, select the Show updates check box.
In the Windows XP - Software Updates section, click Windows Media Player 11, and then click Change/Remove.
In each of the two confirmation dialog boxes that appear, click OK.
When the rollback process is complete (it might take several minutes), click Restart.
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
In the Category View of Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs, and then click Remove a program.
Click Windows Media Format 11 Runtime, and then click Remove.
If Windows Media Format 11 Runtime is not displayed in the list of currently installed programs, then try the following:
At the top of the list, select the Show updates check box.
In the Windows XP - Software Updates section, click Windows Media Format 11 Runtime, and then click Change/Remove.
If you installed a non-US English version of Windows Media Player 11, the instructions in the dialog boxes that are mentioned in steps 9, 10, and 11 might appear in English.
In the first confirmation dialog box that appears, click OK.
In the second confirmation dialog box that appears, select the Do you want to continue with the rollback? check box, and then click OK.
When the rollback process is complete (it might take several minutes to complete), click Restart.
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
In the Category View of Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs, and then click Remove a program.
Click Microsoft User-Mode Driver Framework Feature Pack 1.0.0, and then click Remove.
Follow the instructions that appear in the Software Update Removal Wizard.
If the Wudf01000 confirmation dialog box appears, click Yes to continue. When the software removal process is complete (it might take several minutes to complete), click Finish.

I had Media Player 11 on my computer. It had more problems than I could count. The procedure posted by PeteC sould work. I rolled mine back to Media Player 10 and I dont remember using most of those steps. I only remember going to Add and Remove Programs, clicked remove and it reverted back to Media Player 10.

roy66 · 2007/06/30

Yeh did that...didn't work.

OK...BUT
Where was WMP 10 located that it could roll back to?

Maybe try reinstalling it and then trying Petes suggestion?
