    Creating a workaround to the MS lockout of WMP11 installers on Win 7


    Has anyone found a way to install windows media player 11 onto windows 7?

    I do not like how heavy handed WMP12 is with libraries (as i went in to my registery and deleted any key referencing them) and while WMP 12 doesnt produce any errors or problems with my registery modifications. I find that i have to worm through a now disabled directory to actually get to my music.

WMP12 to WMP11

So, I've been reading a lot about how to turn WMP12 to WMP11 to get the taskbar player back. I've heard mixed results where if it does work, its sluggish or the player does not go away when WMP is closed, etc. Is it possible to uninstall WMP 12 and install WMP11? Windows website says WMP11 is...
As the title says, I tried downgrading to WMP 11 and everything went tits up, I guess I've got a mix of WMP 11 and WMP 12 files as well as a registry entry that I was told to edit. I've ran the SFC file checker thing and I'm still getting nothing. It's not a disaster as I am running Itunes but...
