    Windows Media Player 12


    In our environment, one of the engineers wrote a power shell script which removed media player (and other features) when an image was deployed to our computers. This image was deployed to a couple hundred computers. We have now redone our image to allow Media Player on the new computers being imaged --- however, we really don't want to reimage 200 computers in order to get Media Player back on them. I have tried extracting Media player from the ISO but it won't install -- I have searched the internet for an answer -- but it seems there are a lot of people out there with similar issues. Media player is nowhere to be found on these systems since it was taken out by the power shell script. I've even tried a power shell script to reinstall -- to no avail. Please help.

    :)

    New Windows Media Player Plugin for Firefox

    Anyone who uses Windows Vista and Mozilla Firefox may be pleased to hear that the Windows Media Player team has now released a plugin for Firefox that should allow the browser to play WMP content on websites. Here are the steps to get it working:
    • Installation of the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin may require administrative access to your PC. It is recommended that you close all other open browser windows before continuing with the installation.
    • Click the Install button to automatically download and install the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin.
    • Depending on your security settings, you may see a Security Warning dialog box. Click Install to install the plugin.
    There is a known issue if you are using Firefox version 2.0.0.3 on Windows Vista with the installer failing with error code -203. To work around this simply restart Firefox (you will get a notification that Windows Vista will be changing the Firefox compatibility settings) and then install again - the second time should succeed.

    The download is available here, and the new plugin works on all versions of Windows XP and Windows Vista (although it is mostly intended for Vista, as that currently has no WMP support in Firefox).
