CrossOver Support - Community Forums

Hi. I'm trying out Crossover for Mac and I tried installing Windows Media Player 11. It didn't work and then I looked on this website and found out it's not compatible with Crossover.

So, I tried to install Windows Media Player 10, but I keep getting an error saying that a newer version of Windows Media Player is already installed.

I tried deleting Windows Media Player 11 files using the Manage Bottles... command. I got rid of all applications that said Windows Media 11 in it. However, when I try installing Windows Media Player 10, I still get the message saying that a newer version is already installed.

Does anyone know how I can get rid of Windows Media Player 11 entirely?

Thanks.

Not sure how you do that, but have you tried just creating a new bottle and installing WMP10 instead of trying to remove WMP11 from the current bottle?

I just tried installing it in a different bottle but, after it had almost finished installing, it displayed an "An internal application error has occurred" so maybe version 10 isn't compatible either.

Hi,

The only way I know to get wmp-10 installed, is to install IE7 into
the bottle first, then install wmp-10 (I use the wmp-10 installer from
http://www.oldversion.com/download-Windows%20Media%20Player-10.html )...

...I wouldn't say wmp-10 is all that stable, but it does work...

Cheers!
