Hi there I have windows server 2003 standard (newly installed) on my laptop, which i use purposely as I prefer the control i have over my web projects. A client has asked if i can embed windows media player content onto their web pages - but i can't get my media player 10 software to work. Apparently it was installed as part of the original installation of 2003, and i can see it in the program folder, however i get the error 'ONE THE LIBRARY FILES NEEDED TO RUN THIS APPLICATION CANNOT BE FOUND'. And bizzarely it doesn't exist in my uninstall software list. I have tried downloading and installing practically every version of Windows Media Player in existance but get a 'not compatible' error.

1. Windows 10 Media Server Setup
2. Install Media Player Windows 8

Windows 10 Media Server Setup

Install Media Player Windows 8

Does anyone know why i cant uninstall version 10 which exists on my machine, or install another version to fix the obviously broken one? I have searched the web high and low for weeks to no avail, and i am loathe to reinstall the OS unless it's absolutely necessary. Many thanks for any tips or guidence you might be able to offer me!:0) Stuart London, UK (sorry if i have rambled).
