Re: How to uninstall WMP 11?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance


A: That's because you have to do that from an elevated cmd.exe prompt.
B: It's also a bad plan in isolation because it will corrupt the registry with XP-only entries, as wmp.dll's DllRegisterServer is for XP - the component install system normally handles wmp.dll's registration entries.

This KB:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947541
more or less shows how to reregister wmp.dll on Vista. It's not the best plan anyways, but if you really think it's super-critical, that's at least how to do it without breaking yourself further. =\

I get:

The module wmp.dll was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x8002801c.
