We all know when installing windows media player 11 you need to validate your copy of windows xp. Or at least you will know when trying to :P. And if you for some reason fails that validating, you can’t install it. Now here is how to bypass that \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

1. Download WMP11 from FileHippo:<\/strong>
\nhttp:\/\/filehippo.com\/download_windows_media_player\/<\/p>\n

2. Extract the .exe file somewhere:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Left click on the wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe, and select Extract here, or someplace you want. Using WinRar or some other program.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

3. Run wmp11.exe:<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is actually the install of the wmp11 without validation \ud83d\ude1b
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Running this file will bring the installation window for wmp11 right up. And now it’s just to follow the steps from there.<\/p>\n

4. Reboot and finished!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, at the end of the installation in step 3 it tells you to reboot. So just do that, and when it’s back up again you got a fully working windows media player without having to hassle with the validation.<\/p>\n

EDIT: Might also add this, on some systems you need to run the other exe files in the setup package.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
