Cannot install Windows Media Player

For some reason I don't have a windows media player on my system and will have a hard time to get it.
I have windows 7 Home premium 64 bit on my machine.

an error message appears when I try to install. "The update is not applicable to your computer."

    You cannot install the Windows media player 12 on Windows XP because there is no standalone package out yet, and this is only available in the Windows 7 operating system.

  • Why windows media player is not reading my DVD, and how do I install windows media player decoder using my drive from windows XP Professional?

    Media player from Windows

    Why windows media player is not reading my DVD, and how do I install the windows media player decoder using my disk of windows XP Professional

    FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial
    DVD video... it requires a DVD decoder. And... He
    is not a DVD decoder on your Win XP Pro drive.

    If you could play before commercial video DVD...
    do a system restore to a time before this started
    may be your solution.

    Or you could buy a DVD decoder at the following link:

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Info about DVD decoders:
    Plug-ins for Windows Media Player
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Windows-Media-Player/plug-ins

    Or you can download and use one of the following freeware
    media players:

    VLC Media Player

    (works on XP/Vista/7)

    Media Player Classic Home Cinema
    http://MajorGeeks.com/Media_Player_Classic_Home_Cinema_d6213.html
    (works on XP/Vista/7)

    Or... you can try to download and install one of the
    Following codec packs.

    (FWIW... it is always preferable, if you create a system restore
    point before installing any software or updates).

    * Proceed at your own risk *.

    (1) K-Lite Codec Pack (full)

  • Error: "file 9xmigrat.dll on (unknown) is needed type the path where the file is located, and then click ok" when you try to install Windows Media Player 9.

    original title: WMP9 re-setup

    Hello. I use XP SP3 with all post-SP3 updates critical. Windows Media Player 9 does not work. When I try to reinstall, I'm stuck: the 9xmigrat.dll of file on (unknown) you need to type the path where the file is located and then click ok. I like WMP9 and do not want to use a newer version of WMP. I was not able to find 9xmigrat.dll

    This happens when I try installing to wmp.inf.

    If I try to install the MPSetupXP.exe, it does not either.

    Any ideas? TIA

    Thank you, David. It seems that the problem was caused by incorporating the updates for WMP9 using nLite. I made another CD of installation excluding these updates. A clean install of XP SP3 and WMP9 is working. Thank you for your response.
