| 278336 | 2004-10-05 02:22:00 | I just tried to install WMP10 and got a "failed to install" message. No help, no details, nothing (why am I surprised? X-( ) I can't find anything in the MS Knowledge Base about the issue - has anyone here got any clues? I tried the install in both normal and safe modes - no diff. Setup is WinXP Home with SP2 TIA Tony Bacon |

| 278337 | 2004-10-05 03:10:00 | something might be wrong with your install file. try getting the WMP10 install player from somewhere else. | Jams (1051) | ||
| 278338 | 2004-10-05 03:29:00 | Thanks for the idea Jams, but I don't think it is as simple as that. What happened was I tried to play a video and got told WMP was improperly installed, and did I want to download it? Said Yes, got a new download, installed it and got the failure message. So I think there is something else going on. TB |

| 278341 | 2004-10-25 23:14:00 | This fixed the problem for me: It's getting narrowed down! Currently it appears that wmploc.dll in C:\Windows\System32 is the file causing hell for some users while trying to WMP 10. The solution might be rather simple, navigate to C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386 and copy wmploc.dll to C:\Windows\System32. Now, run the WMP 10 installer again and see what you get. The above from Chris Lanier's blog (msmvps.com) Thanks to those who helped. Tony Bacon |
