Hi all,
Do not forget to change update.inf to:
[Version]
Signature="$Windows NT$"
InstallPlatform=0
CatalogFile=%SP_KB_TITLE%.cat
LanguageType=%LangTypeValue%
MaxNtMinorVersionToUpdate=3
MaxNtMajorVersionToUpdate=5
NtBuildToUpdate=2600
NtMinorVersionToUpdate=1
NtMajorVersionToUpdate=5
MaxNtBuildToUpdate=9999
MinNtServicePackVersion=0
MaxNtServicePackVersion=512
ThisServicePackVersion=512
What i like to know is:
If we install Windows media player 11 on windows server 2003 SP2,
then windows-update will not see this i think ?
So how about hotfixes ?
Or are *all* hotfixes in the latest windows media player 11 version (exe) ?
If not only way to manualy install the security / hotfix is downloading them from :
http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/home.aspx
Search for Windows Media Player 11 XP
Then selecting all XP updates and downloading them.
Then all extracting them and go to
/update/
making update.exe compatible for XP
and changing update.inf to :
[Version]
Signature="$Windows NT$"
InstallPlatform=0
CatalogFile=%SP_KB_TITLE%.cat
LanguageType=%LangTypeValue%
MaxNtMinorVersionToUpdate=3
MaxNtMajorVersionToUpdate=5
NtBuildToUpdate=2600
NtMinorVersionToUpdate=1
NtMajorVersionToUpdate=5
MaxNtBuildToUpdate=9999
MinNtServicePackVersion=0
MaxNtServicePackVersion=512
ThisServicePackVersion=512 <-- don't know about this.
Hope we do not need to do it manually cause you have to change all update.inf to the above.
Then make the update.exe comparible with xp and they should install after you have windows media player 11 on windows server 2003 SP2
Is this correct? or are ALL the KBxxxxx updates found by windows update ?
Very important i think ?
Thnx

I found a fairly easy way to install WMP11 on 2003 w/SP2. 1. Extract the download executable (e.g., wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe) with WinZip or the equivalent. 2. Open the extracted folder and extract wmfdist11.exe and wmp11.exe to separate folders. 3. Run the compatibility wizard (start/Help and Support, search for "compatibility", select "Getting older programs to run on the Windows Server 2003 family of products : Windows" 4. Click "Program Compatibility Wizard" 5. Choose locate the program manually 6. Browse to the update.exe in the extracted wmfdist11.exe folder (e.g., c:\wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu\wmfdist11\update\update.exe) 7. Choose XP compatibility and defaults for the rest of the screen. 8. Uncheck the restart now box. 9. Repeat steps 3 through 7 for the wmp11. This worked on a machine that I just installed 2003 SP2 on via Windows Update, which cause my WMP10 to be uninstalled. Good Luck Hello I tried to install WMP11 on my Windows 2003 SP2 with instructions above but I don't understand 8. I have no 'restart now' box in Program Compatibility Wizard |

The "restart now" option is not part of the compatability wizard process, it appears after the compatability wizard has launched the exes. It runs the normal setup as though you were on xp and its on the final page with the Finish button on it. I doubt a restart between each exe would cause a problem, its just so you can run them both one after the other.

Hi,
New here... I can't get past the first part of this, as I can't extract the .exe that I downloaded. I've tried both Winzip and WinRAR with no success. Does anyone have any ideas why I can't unzip the .EXE? Also, BTW, I'm running Win2K3 Enterprise SP2. Assuming that you all can help me extract the .EXE, will this work on my machine? Thanks, Jim |

jimcpl, I just used winrar and it unzipped fine (this was on an xp machine, then I copied it back to the server). I have MP11 running on 2K3 R2 x64 SP2, just standard but Enterprise will be no different. The annoying this is that 2k3 doesn't sllow media sharing, so for me the whole exercise was a bit pointless! Have fun!

How to install Windows Media Player 11 on Windows (Enterprise) Server 2003 SP2
I had to do this today on a newly installed machine, and couldn't remember exactly how I did it last time. When I read through this forum thread, I saw that no one post had a complete set of directions. As I detest experimenting to rediscover something I've forgotten How to install Windows Media Player 11 on Windows (Enterprise) Server 2003 SP2 The attached screen shot should help. 1. Download the program file "wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe" 2. Create a folder named "wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu" 3. Move the program file into the folder. 4. In the folder, use <Ctrl>+<Shift" to make a shortcut to the program file. 5. Open the properties of the shortcut and change the target, adding the switch /C AND QUOTES so it reads: "F:\Windows MP11\wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe" /C. Save it. 6. Launch the shortcut. When prompted for a location, browse to the same folder ie "X:\Windows MP11\wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu", where X: is your drive letter. Locate the two programs "wmfdist11.exe" and "wmp11.exe" among the extracted files. --- 7. Make a new folder "F:\wmfdist11". 8. Open the Explorer, and expand the view so you can see the top level folders on your drive. 9. Launch the program wmfdist11.exe. When you get an error message, stop! Look at the root of that drive. You will see a folder named with a unique random number, something like "bc2ba4075f9324e762eae8f7e5" 10. Copy all the files except the one named "$shtdwn$.req" from this folder into the wmp11 folder. --- 11. Make a new folder named "F:\wmp11". 12. Open the Explorer, and expand the view so you can see the top level folders on your drive. 13. Launch the program wmp11.exe. When you get an error message, Stop! Look at the root of that drive. You will see a folder named with a unique random number, something like "8a4cb3075f9324e762eae8f9f2" 14. Copy all the files except the one named "$shtdwn$.req" from this folder into the wmp11 folder. ------- 15. In each of the two folders, "wmfdist11" and "wmp11", you will see a subfolder named "Update", and within each of these a file named "Update.exe". Change the properties of each update.exe to run in compatibility mode for Windows XP. 16. Run "F:\wmfdist11\Update\update.exe". 17. Run "F:\wmp11\Update\update.exe".

Update: I went to the Xbox and tried to see the server as a media source and found it, tried to share and it said the console wasn't enabled from the machine. Back to the server and the xbox showed up. Yah this is right where I am, I see the media share on my xbox but then when I go to browse it says that the xbox has lost connection to the resource or something like that. I went into media player and its now an approved device but it still does it. I also dont see the shared media on any of my vista machines running wmp 11. The media is shared, however I find myself wondering if the permissions on the shares need to be adjusted? |

This is entirely too much work. Was looking for a solution to doing this and stumbled upon this forum but after reading through all of the ideas on how to do this I figured it would just be easier to use the compatibility tab in the exe properties and be done with it. So here's what I did:
1. Download wmp11 and extract contents to your folder of choice using winRAR or WinZip or whatever other method you'd like to use. 2. Right-click on each .exe file individually and select properties then click on the Compatibility tab, check the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select Windows XP from the drop-down, click OK, and run the sucker. THE ONLY ONE YOU SHOULD NOT RUN IS SETUP_WM.EXE. Also you'll be presented with the option to Restart. You can bypass this until you're done running all of the executables and THEN reboot. Not sure if there should be an order that the exe's should be run in but this got Windows Media Player installed and working on my Windows Server 2003 SP2 and required very little effort. |

Hi, the mentioned method didn't work for my 2k3sp2 but I did find a working method. http://www.msblog.org/index.php/2006/12/17...ws-server-2003/ Now if you can't find the extracted folder, just extract the original setup file with winrar or whatever you use and follow the guide. I had to run the files in compatibility mode(xp) but everything installed fine and is working great Deff the best I found...Thanks |
