Be very careful with this!
users using WMP12 says there is an error which leads to corruption of your mp3 files on your computer (when played)…Microsoft is aware of this and has promised to fix this before the officiel beta release..and there will soon be a fix on windows update aswell..

WINDOWS 7 SUCKS! – How many fools will not even see that Microsoft only changed the look of functionality which is exactly the same as Vista, same functionality means you have the same OS. What a waste of a billion dollar company. What are they doing at Microsoft?, cutting their toe nails all day long? Microsoft always sucked and will always suck.

After following every instruction and restarted the pc, I proceed to launch wmp from my quick launch..
“C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe is not a valid Win32 application.”
I decided to go into Program Files to launch the setup.exe and the wmplayer.exe. Same prob.
What did I do wrong?

This is not for Vista this for Windows 7!This is from DeviantART from Mikasi2009 http://misaki2009.deviantart.com/art/Windows-Media-Player-12-0-7000-107532875 . Even he said this is for Windows 7.I intentionally tried it and this DOESN’T WORK ON VISTA.Taking ownership is easy and you can do it with TakeOwnership.reg which you can google on net.

Yah, way to post that THIS IS FOR 64 BIT SYSTEMS, not 32 bit! Talk about dropping the ball on the most important piece of info about this download. Good thing I made that backup, cuz otherwise I’d have a non-working player and a screwt-up PC. Thanks guy.

lol Mikasi2009 from DeviantART even describes in his comment that “It doesn’t work on Windows XP/Vista! Works only on Windows 7 so don’t ask anymore or give comments about that!” But it still has the possibility of working ONLY WINDOW VISTA 64-BITS, you may screw up your pc if you try it on VISTA 32-BIT.

Well, Mikasi2009 from DeviantART said it’s only for Window 7 so doesn’t Window 7 supposed to already have its WMP?

As I see this was a 64-bit version, I’ll try to do this with my 32-bit Windows 7 build.
Can’t promise anything, but I’ll post the results back here when I’m done.

No, the 32-bit WMP from Windows 7 build 7000 doesn’t run on Vista.

The reason that you are getting the error message about it not being a valid 32 bit app is because the files posted on here are from a 64 bit system, so this will only work if you are running 64 bit vista. the simple solution is :
1) find a freind who has 32 bit Win7
BACKUP ALL YOUR MEDIA FILES AND WMP SYSTEM FILES BEFORE GOING ANY FURTHER!!!
2) copy their Windows Media Player folder from C:\Program Files
3. Copy wmploc.dll from their C:\Windows\System32 folder
4. paste your friends windows media folder to C:\Program Files
5. Paste your friends wmploc.dll into your C:\Windows\System32 folder
now try running wmp, or just wait fro the Microsoft release

La razón que usted está consiguiendo el mensaje de error sobre él que no es 32 un pedacito válido app es porque los archivos fijados encendido aquí son de un sistema de 64 pedacitos, así que esto trabajará solamente si usted está funcionando vista de 64 pedacitos. la solución simple es: 1) encuentre a un amigo que tenga 32 pedacito Win7 ¡RESPALDO TODOS SUS ARCHIVOS DE MEDIOS Y FICHEROS DEL SISTEMA DE WMP ANTES DE IR MÁS LEJOS!!! 2) copie su carpeta de Windows Media Player de los archivos de C:\Program 3. Copie wmploc.dll de su carpeta de C:\Windows\System32 4. pegue su carpeta del Windows Media de los amigos a los archivos de C:\Program 5. Pegue a sus amigos wmploc.dll en su carpeta de C:\Windows\System32 ahora intente funcionar el wmp, o apenas espere el lanzamiento de Microsoft

People install dodgy, unofficial stuff ripped from another OS, they probably haven’t read all the warnings, then they ask “What did I do wrong – it doesn’t work?” or “Help, it screwed my Windows up!”
Then they have the cheek to blame it on Microsoft for making a cr*p operating system!
And the guy who said Microsoft is rubbish and Windows 7 is no better than Windows Vista – he should limit his opinions to what he knows about, ‘cos he couldn’t be more wrong!
