Try downloading Revo Uninstaller

to get rid of it

You might have to reinstall so it shows up in Programs and Features.

 

[raniero]

just tried thanks. not working at all. other suggestions?

 

[Gornot]

Whoa, this sounds like a very bad bug. If the battery ended and the PC turned off before the setup was finished, and now you can't do anything with it, then try booting into Safe Mode and use the "Turn Windows features on or off" again, it might work. But I'm not sure, though. If the setup itself is corrupted because the PC shut down in the middle of the operation some files might be lost and/or corrupted as well. But just in case, try the setup in Safe Mode.

 

[raniero]

already tried this too, dont work. other?

 

[raniero]

nobody have any suggestion?

 

[Tews]

have you thought about reinstalling your OS?

 

[raniero]

its just media player installation corrupted, of course i dont want to reinstall the os for that, just trying to find a way to fix it

 

[reghakr]

It seems as going through all tie posts, it in unfix able.

A 'clean' ind tall would solc=ve those errors.

BTW, get yoursef and diffferent player such as VLC or Kmplayer.

IMHO, WMP suc*s

Hi Raniero,
Do you get any error message when you try to open the WMP ??

 

[raniero]

no it just dont start, no error, if i click the setup file in wmp folder it start and than close, no error

and actually im using vlc and winamp, but i need wmp to play web embedded wma and wmv streaming, in addiction to this i would like to fix this as of course is should be fixable

No, it doesn't... **** off *****

This is a long shot, and it's probably something that shouldn't be done, but there's always the Media feature pack that's originally for N and KN versions of Windows 7 that don't include WMP12. Please consider that, in case that you can't fix this issue and you REALLY need WMP12, you will be forced to reinstall Win7, if you're willing to take a chance, try it. Backup first!

 

[Capt.Jack Sparrow]

Maybe you can check with Event Viewer
Right Click on Computer > Manage > Windows Logs > Application and check if you see any errors

ive already tried the media pack and its not working on not N win version

Right Click on Computer > Manage > Windows Logs > Application and check if you see any errors

actually the event viewer seems to show some error detail when i try to uninstall it (if can uninstall and reinstall i should reset and fix it)

I have a Tool called Fix WMP Utility i have attached it you might wanna try it

WMP Utility is freeware portable app to re-registers all the concerned Windows Media dll files required for the smooth functioning of Windows Media Player. It will re-register over 40 dll files required for for the smooth functioning of WMP.

View attachment FixWMP.zip

If that also didn't work then Remove WMP from Program Features then run the CCleaner

Then

1, Click on Start
2, Type CMD then right click Run as Administrator
3, Type in SFC /SCANNOW
4, Then Reboot the system reinstall WMP
5, Run the Fix WMP Utility then open WMP see that works


Hope that helps

I guess the the only options you could try would be to use Your Uninstaller it was recommended from one of my friend who works in Microsoft support or try a Repair install

Hi and welcome

We have thrown everything but the kitchen sink at this and may even be able to fix this problem but you will have so much junk in the system that we have no way of knowing what other effects will be.

On to the problem
Have you tried removing the WMV components in safe boot (F8)
If registration is the problem that should help

Has anyone asked you if you have a backup that we could restore from?
Anyone ask if you have a win 7 dvd to do a repair install from?

hello, thank you both but i dont want to make a repair install, cause i dont have enopugh space, i should delete a lot of data and modify my partition, in addiction to this im looking to fix the single problem withoout reverting the full system.

ive tried to restore using the system restore points, but the wmp installar should have been saved in the restore system, and anyway i dont have other backup or dvd backup.

to zigzag yes ive already tried in safe way, and about the junk, ive very few programs installed, just whats needed, i use a lot of portable software and just the lighter.

your uninstaller doesnt have the wmp in installed program list, i can just use the context menu option uninstall with your uninstaller rigth clicking the wmp file but it show a blank error dialog with the red cross and just the ok button. so i assume it doesnt work

im shure somebody can help me to fix it..

 

[raniero]

JUST FIXED!!!!

solution was removing the kb974431 update, he was causing the error!
than ive been able to uninstall and reinstall wmp and reinstall the update
