This didnt work for me. I did install the package, though I received several
errors but in the end it says it was successful. I just dont think it
installed every codec. I still can not play .WMV files in media player itself
or through a web page. This makes no sense, seeing how I could do this a week
ago and I have not installed anything new since then or made any changes to
my system. Any other ideas? How about uninstalling windows media player 11 or
repairing it which seems impossible in Vista?! Any way to do this and do you
think it would help?
