Anyone able to install Windows Media Player plugin?

[Yuri]

When I run wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe downloaded from
wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe
I get the screen saying:
"You may be a victim of software counterfeiting"
"This copy of Windows is not genuine."

At the same time standard output gets the following messages:
err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {4590f811-1d3a-11d0-891f-00aa004b2e24}

fixme:msxml:DllCanUnloadNow

Is there any way to pass validation?

I hear it's possible to pass if you have a genuine copy of windows running on your local network.

I hear it's possible to pass if you have a genuine copy of windows running
on your local network.

*If* this is true then a (genuine) copy of Windows running in VMWare
(probably free VirtualBox also will work) with properly configured networking
and reduced memory (this isn't a requirement obviously - just a way to
preserve host memory) probably will work well. This is especially useful in
case if you havn't Windows machine in your local network 24/7. Please note
that I have no idea if this actually will help you to pass validation but if
you have genuine copy of Windows which you can install in virtual machine it
doesn't hurt to try (especially if you take advantage of Easy Install for
Windows in VMWare). In case you really try this don't forget to tell us about
results.
