I have updated the Windows Server 2003 fix. Now the playlist are properly installed.

I have included a batch file to make things easier and less likely to fail. Just extract the wmp10 exe file and the wins2k3.zip file into a folder and run setup.bat. More detailed instructoins are in the zip file. If you have tried using the first fix and it failed, leaving you with Wmp9 running this should fix it :)

It doesn't work :( Just before installing skins and PlayList, I've got a "installation failed" dialog box... And "File not found" when trying to copy skins and playlists...

And when I launch WMP, it says something like "3046 version expected, 2991 found"... So the new dlls weren't copied...

Any clues ?

The only thing I can think of is to make sure the following files are copied into the same folder you extracted Wmp10 into.

If your not prompted to overwrite the files you have copied them into the wrong folder and the fix will fail.

codecs10.inf

DRM10.inf

MPCD10.inf

MPPRE10.inf

MPSTUB10.inf

Setup.bat

wins2k3.reg

WMDM10.inf

WMFSDK10.inf

WMP10.inf

WMSET10.inf

WPD10.inf

This fix will also allow you to install Wmp10 in Longhorn (tested). Possibly even Windows 2000 but I ruined my Win2k disc so I can't check this.

Everything was overwritten... I tried to launch every inf separately. When trying to install mppre10, it shows "Installation Failed".

And with some of the other infs, some files are not copied. Some of them already exists (they come from wmp9), but they cannot be overwritten, nor can I delete them (the same ol' message "file in use by another process)... I dunno if I try in Safe mode... I should give a try. (Example of file : \windows\system32\wmploc.dll, after the installation process copies it, it is still version 9.0.0.2991)

Anyway, thanks a lot !

I would go ahead and try it in safe mode or just rebooting if you haven't already. I haven't recieved this error and I've installed this fix on five different machines.

If you still cannot get Wmp10 working run the sfc /scannow command. After that go into "%programfiles%\windows media player" and run setup_wm.exe. I haven't had to test this but it should get wmp9 up and running agian.

The little MSN Butterfly I had set for the store just disappeared (replaced with that red broken image X), and the drop menu doesn't say "Beta" for the MSN Store anymore.

Pondering what I'm pondering?

Welcome to the club.

I'm sure they'll sort out the issues eventually. It's still a kick ass player compared to where it was in player 7 ! :cry:

I tried to run setup in safe mode. Nothing changed, still "Installation failed" and wmploc.dll wrong version when launching WMP. So I manually deleted a copied wmploc.dll... And it works :)

:woot: I have now Windows Media Player 10 full working on Windows Server 2003 :woot:

Thanks !

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
