Lets see if it works. Download the windows genuine advantage diagnsotic tool here: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012
Run the tool, and click "Continue." After a brief moment you should see a page displaying the properties of your current Windows installation and it should say on there somewhere Validation Status: Genuine.
Now try to install WMP11.
I tried " windows genuine advantage diagnostic tool." When i ran it everything went like you said! I got "Validation Status: Genuine." but sadly i still got This When i tried to install wmp 11

"it was not possible to complete setup for more assistance click web help
It was not possible to complete; windows media player 11 was not installed. Restart windows and then rune WMP setup again"
"You've encountered error message C00D2AFB while using Windows Media Player. Additional information is not currently available for this error."
I went through the latest log file, very carefully from top to bottom more then once.
These are the errors i found, In order

Download the Windows Uninstaller cleanup utility.
Run it, and remove anything related to Wmp11 only
Run your favorite Temp file cleaner or use windows own cleaner.
Reboot.
Close down all your security programs, including 3rd party firewall if any (enable windows own for the time being)
Use CTRL - ALT - DEL(ete) to close the processes if needed, for the security programs. Usually closing them down
by the tray by clock is sufficient.
Try install WMP11 again with a off-line installer: http://www.filehippo.com/download_windows_media_player/
If still a no-go, please check the following location;
C:\windows\updspapi.log
Please post any Error 5, and corresponding regkeys if any.

Hello.
For some reason when i try to run " Windows Uninstaller cleanup utility." i get this error message:
http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/9228/111lin.jpg
Hi again
Please goto start > Run > Type: Regsvr32 vbscript.dll
Enter
This should re-register the VBscripting
Try run the windows uninstaller utility again.
If you still get a error, let it be for the time being.
The error 5's and access denied error's are related to the two regkeys I mentioned earlier.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMPlayer.OCX or HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMPlayer.OCX.7
So we are going to modify these, which involves rumaging a bit in the registry. For that reason, we need to make a backup of
the registry, just in case we need to revert any actions done.
So please download ERUNT and follow the instructions here for making a backup using ERUNT:
http://forums.whatthetech.com/How_backup_r…UNT_t99376.html
When done;
Goto Start > Run > Type: Regedit
This will open the registry editor.
Now locate either of these entries, if present;
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMPlayer.OCX
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMPlayer.OCX.7
Rightclick entry, properties, rename it by adding .old to it
Close registry editor.
Reboot and then try install Windows media player again, following the guidelines from my previous post.
If your in doubt of anything regarding the above instructions, please say so before going ahead.
Cheers
Sadly it gave me this message:

I renamed the keys but it still gave me the same thing after reboot! at the end of wmp11 installation it says "it could not complete installation," blah blah you know the story!
I looked at regedit again and it had to new "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMPlayer.OCX"
"HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMPlayer.OCX.7" When i try to rename those it won't let me it says there are already some with that name!
Here's what i'm talking about, LOOK
