1.27.0 New installation of 1.27 fails because wmp11 fails (1 Viewer)

It stopped while I found a copy of wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe. Really guys? XP?

MSFT no help, found one on FileHippo, but it won't install on my Windows Server 2012 R2.

What now?

Yes, MP depends on WMP libraries. But I don't think there are any on the server.

So what will it install on? I might have an old banger running Windows 7, but I certainly don't have any XP. Something a bit newer would be nice.

Windows 7 is fine.

Last year I did a first-time install of MP1 on Windows 7, without a single problem.
Two weeks ago I did a first-time install of MP2 on Windows 7, again without a single problem.
(I installed MP2 merely as a test; I still use MP1.)

It is alleged that MP1 and MP2 will also work on that piece of malware that goes by the name of "Windows 10", but I have no personal experience of that.

It installs on Windows 10 home & Windows 10 Pro without issue.

W10 have WMP libraries out of the box (if I'm not mistaken) ...

Windows Server 2012 R2.

Try install Windows Media Services ...

I´m even on Windows 10 Insider Preview 21343 and everything works perfect here
