Windows Media Player on 64 bit architecture

Post by jotape1960 »

I use Ubuntu Studio 15.10, 64-bit, with WineHQ 1.9.1.

I want to download and install Windows Media Player 10 (to try to fix some issue about *.wma audio files), but winetricks tells me that "Installer doesn't support 64-bit architecture."

How can get it? ???

Greetings & Blessings from Chile!!!!!!!

WMP 10 doesn't have a 64 bit installer; you couldn't install it on 64 bit Windows, either. If you really need that version of WMP, install it to a 32 bit wineprefix.

Last time I tested, it was possible (with a lot of trouble) to install WMP 11 for 64 bit XP. There's a howto in the AppDB; if you really need this in a 64 bit wineprefix, try following that. https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager. ... ngId=90744
