this will not work and it will screw up vista. you will have to reinstall vista if you end up doing this. and no, a system restore/backup will not fix the problem.

wait till wmp12 is released thru windows b4 you start hacking registry/system files or go and download windows 7

i tried this method and still not working=get…..is not a win32 valid app.
* If Windows Media Player is running, close it
* Take ownership of wmploc.dll. To do this, Go to X:\Windows\System32 where X is the drive letter for the partition where Windows Vista is installed
* Right-click wmploc.dll and choose Properties
* In the Properties window, select the Security tab and press Advanced
* Select the Owner tab and press on Edit. If an UAC prompt appears, choose Continue
* Select Administrators from the list and press OK on all remaining Properties windows
* Right click wmploc.dll again and select Properties
* In the Properties window, select the Security tab and press Advanced
* Press Edit. If an UAC prompt appears, choose Continue
* Select Administrators from the list and press Edit
* Check the box next to Full Control under Allow
* Press OK on all remaining Properties windows
* Rename wmploc.dll to wmploc.dll.bak and back it up in a safe location
* Copy the downloaded wmploc.dll from the zip archive to the X:\Windows\System32 folder
* Copy settings.reg and restore.reg files to any folder you want
* Run settings.reg and press OK. settings.reg can be deleted now
* Do not delete restore.reg as you will need it if you plan to uninstall. please need more help!

Translated text from Vince’s comment:
You only have 2 core files of Windows Media Player 12 12.0.7000.7000 for Windows 7 Build 7000 and copy it to your Windows Vista system folders. You have to do the following steps to install Windows Media Player 12 on Windows Vista.

* Copy wmploc.dll in C: \ Windows \ System32
* This copy of Windows Media Player folder C: \ Program Files <-?

You can view the files by downloading the rar package from here.

dette kan ikke lade sig gøre, da du skal lave en hel masse om, for at få lov til at udføre dette triks.

Salve a tutti, io ho provato il metodo da voi descritto su Vista Home Premium Originale però quando clicca su qualsiasi eseguibile mi dice che non è un applicazione win32 valida.

Non so non credo di avere problemi io, il media player v.11 funziona regolarmente.
