How do you remove windows media player 11?

Question

I can not revert back to media player 10 or 9. I get that error like many people. Also I can't install media player 10 or 9 over media player 11, it get that media configuration message that tells me 11 is installed and will not allow it.

I tried to manually remove the files, but they are copied right back into the media player folder as soon as I delete the files.

I need to find a way to remove windows media player 11 and install 9 or 10.

Add remove programs does not remove WMP 11, because microsoft does not allow it. When you do that, it lets you revert back to 10, and thats when I get the error.

I need real answers people.

Answer 1

Stupid question, but did you go through your computer's control panel and select "add or remove programs"? This should have taken it out. If you've tried that, you might contact Microsoft's support page.

Answer 2

Open your control panel and click on add/remove programs.

When the winow opens, scroll down to Windows Media Player 11 and Windows Media Runtime 11 and uninstall them.

Answer 3

I had the same issue, then I uninstalled WMP11 (runtime first), went to the microsoft download site and downloaded 9. Installed it, and just didn't update it. Not sure how this worked, but it did.
