How to Install Windows Media Player 11 without validating XP?

Dear reader,
You might be interested in installing the latest windows media player 11.Microsoft has decided to add a WGA check to this installation setup. When you try to install, it asks for a WGA check and will not continue the installation until it is checked whether your Windows installation is legitimate or not. We know that the users had problems with these WGA checks and could not install the player. Many have tried to install the player before but it checks and kicks off saying I cannot install. Unfortunately it happens even for legit copies.

Here is how to install the windows media player 11 without WGA check or validation:


1. Download the copy here.
2. Before you install ensure you have WMP 10 atlease in the system and have the latest SP3 installed for XP
3. Go to windows media player folder in program files. There rename the file "legitLibM.dll" to "legitlib.dll".
4. Now go to the folder where you have downloaded the setup and double click it. The installation starts but it asks us to validate. Click validate and the next screen comes up showing the heads up and showing you the type of install.This worked for me as well. I have heard that this might work even for the error "Windows cannot validate etc.,"
5. Rest is history and you know how to install :)

Good luck and let me know if I can help!
