| | Windows Media Player not installed on Vista Business 64bit Now as amazing as that may sound it is true. Windows Business 64 somehow installed without installing Windows Media Player. I don't really know how its possible but it isn't installed. The last time I used this disk Windows Media player was installed when I installed the OS. Now this sounds good and all, but you can't just download and install Windows Media Player onto Vista. It doesn't work. Any ideas on how to get windows media player onto vista without it preinstalled? It is supposed to be built in but somehow I avoided installing it? |

| | RE: Windows Media Player not installed on Vista Business 64bit I actually solved it later. The problem was the version needed updates and didn't install windows media player by default? Anyway I just updated and that fixed it. Wierd problem "danthesk8er" wrote: Quote: > Now as amazing as that may sound it is true.
