setup_wm.exe is version 11.0.5721.5146

wmplayer.exe brings up the validate windows screen.

How are you trying to run WMP right now? You're evidently still running the
installer in some fashion. What happens if you run wmplayer.exe directly?

What file version is c:\program files\windows media player\setup_wm.exe ?

That's not the question it asks me. Is says it has to validate my version
of
windows, so the options are validate or cancel. When I cancel it closes.
When
I validate it, it installs 11 again. It never asks if I want to upgrade.

LB,

You're not doing anything wrong, answer No to the question that asks you
if
you want to upgrade.

You should still have WMP 10 installed. The question you're being asked
is
the "check for new version" sequence. You don't have to take the new
version.

Thanks!

I followed the directions... uninstalled 11, restarted, uninstalled 11
runtime, restarted, uninstalled the other thing... and each time it
says
that there's a new update to be installed and to restart... then when I
try
to open WMP, it tries to upgrade me back to 11.
What am I doing wrong?
I'm on regular XP.
