In addition to being a media player, Windows Media Player includes the ability to rip music from and copy music to compact discs, burn recordable discs in Audio CD format or as data discs with playlists such as an MP3 CD, synchronize content with a digital audio player (MP3 player) or other mobile devices, and enable users to purchase or rent music from a number of online music stores. com /en-US /windows /products /windows-media-player Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows 11 (still available) ĪctiveMovie Control, CD Player, DVD Player (Win32 version).

It looks like Media Player 7.1 is the last version Win95 users CAN install with version 7.0 of the setup_wm.exe file. So MDGx, make note that these tips will NOT make Media Player 9 install under Win95 & NT4. I even used the older setup_wm.exe file from the SETUP_WM.ZIP file and the modified control.xml file (and EVEN galah's registry hacks to trick the setup_wm.exe program into thinking Win95 SR2 was Win98 SE) and still did not work.

WMP9 IS incompatible with Win95 as I've just tested using the modified control.xml file and setup_wm.exe (v9.0) told me I'm using an old OS and should upgrade and then setup_wm.exe crashed (and this is on a Win95 OSR2 PC w/out the IE desktop update). I hope that I'm wrong and 95 user can use this but, I really don't think so. I remember it is sort of a pain to remove this from your system and to get MP 7.1 working correctly. Also if I recall correctly I could run the setup, go through the whole thing, set file associations, and right when WMP should have started it would give an error message. If I recall correctly you had to modify something in control.xml to use that version of setup_wm.exe. I modified control.xml, put the entries in the registry for Win98 SE, and got SETUP_WM.ZIP, from this page: (even someone suggests this will work on 95 there)Īnd tried to get this running on Win95 and came close, but couldn't make it work. I read about a similar hack several years ago: The title of this post suggest that this will work on Win95. So my method of editing the control.xml file (and I tested it several times on different PCs) is more reliable, safer and barely no side effects.Īnd if you want to install WMP9 under Win95 edit the control.xml file and change to 4.00.950 and save changes to the control.xml file and run setup_wm.exe to install Media Player 9. so I figured that the control.xml file needed to be edited to make the setup_wm.exe file install the WMP files on certain versions of Windows listed according to the control.xml file. Realize that the setup_wm.exe file reads the contents of the control.xml file during install of WMP9. So I changed the reg values back to their original settings and I can install Win98fe specific patches again. Simply extract all the files from the WMP9 setup file onto a temp folder, edit the control.xml file in Wordpad, change ALL instances of to, save changes and then run the setup_wm.exe file from the temp folder and WMP9 will be installed and functional under Win98 FE.Ĭhanging the registry values to the following:Īnd I have found serious side effects as I can no longer install certain Win98fe specific hotfixes on a Win98fe computer.
