WMP11 WGA Workaround
Apparently, Microsoft performs a Windows Genuine Authentication check on your system before allowing you to install WMP 11. If you don’t have a genuine copy of Windows XP, no WMP 11. I don’t condone software piracy, but running a WGA check to allow the installation of a media player is just plain stupid in my book. Therefore, a work-around to bypass the WGA check, courtesy of daydream:
You need WinRAR to do everything perfect and easy.
1. Extract everything using WinRAR from wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe
2. Install wmp11.exe then restart Windows.
3. Install umdf.exe wmdbexport.exe wmfdist11.exe then restart Windows
4. Now extract everything from wmp11.exe
5. Go to update folder and run update.exe
6. Done!
