01/07/2009 — Owais Ahmed
Microsoft released its latest media player which provides many plug-ins and enhancements. It offers great new ways to store and enjoy all your music, video and pictures along with its new cool look. You must have Windows XP Service Pack-2 (SP2) in order to install Windows Media Player 11. But still you will face a problem while installing this new Windows Media Player if your copy of Windows XP is not a genuine one, since WMP 11 installation requires genuine windows validation!!!
But there are some tricky steps through which you can install WMP 11.0 even in your pirated copy of windows XP bypassing the genuine windows validation. You just have to follow the following steps one by one:
Download Windows Media Player 11.0 (make sure its the final and latest version, not beta) from the Microsoft Site. Alternatively, you can download the installer file directly from here. Remember you can’t install Windows Media Player 11.0 if service pack 2.0 is not installed in your operating system.
Extract the downloaded Windows Media Player setup file (wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe) using WinRAR to a directory (wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu). Now make sure you have a “LegitLibM.dll” file in the extracted “wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu” folder.
Download the patched LegitLibM.dll and then copy-paste it to the “wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu” folder and click yes when asked tooverwrite.
Now run “setup_wm.exe” file in the “wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu” folder.
Restart your PC, then run your Windows Media Player and you are done!!!. Sometimes it doesnt require a restart.
