Re: Media Player 11 Install Problem

Upgrading in hopes of fixing an existing problem is seldom a good idea, Gary.

I suggest posting about your problems in the WMP-specific newsgroup: microsoft.public.windowsmedia.player

First, I am trying to upgrade to version 11 due to a problem with 10.
On v10, Windows Movie files load but, there is only audio, and no video.
Also, each time I launch MP 10, it goes through the steps as if it is being
launched for the first time after a new installation.

Anyway, I downloaded v11 and attempted to install it. I get almost to the
end of the installation and recieve the following error message: "Cannot
complete windows media player setup...". There is an option to launch "web
help". The error code is CODD2AFB. There is no technical help for this
specific error message.

This problem seemed to happen after applying the last set of critical
updates and attempting to do the Media Player 11 upgrade from Windows
Update.

Is there any method to do a clean uninstall of 10 and start over? I already
tried the Control Panel ADD/REMOVE programs but even with "Show Updates"
checked, there is no way to roll back to a previous version of Media Player
as none appear. Only some security updates. (Which I did remove and
reinstall to no avail).
