Windows Media Player 12 Won't Install

Hi guys,

I've been having major problems with WMP. I just got this computer back from a repair (faulty motherboard) so it was a clean install.

First off WMP wouldn't import my music into the library even though the right folder was selected, so I tried various ways of getting round that and never solved it, so I thought I'd just uninstall and re-install it via Windows Features, and it seemed to uninstall OK but now it won't re-install.

Most of the time I just get the error, "An error has occurred. Not all of the features were successfully changed.", but a minute ago it actually got to the end and prompted me to restart where, just before logging in, it started configuring features before saying, "Failure configuring Windows features, Reverting changes".

SFC finds no problems. Restore didn't work.

I'm getting pretty sick of it to be honest. I just want WMP back. Can anyone help?

Thanks a lot.

No luck - "This update is not applicable to your computer."

Thanks for trying though.

Give the Fix WMP utility a whirl.

Also, try repeating the process of turning off then turning on WMP.

Tried rebooting and re-enabling, etc. several times. Doesn't seem to manage it because of the aforementioned errors. Also tried the Fix WMP Utility, which did initially work (brought back WMP), but it was gone again by the time I had restarted the computer...

Run a sfc scan.

SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

But i'm puzzled about fixwmp changes reverting on reboot.
