Windows Media Player 11

Windows Media Player 11 is a version of Windows Media Player released in late 2006 for Windows XP Service Pack 2 and later, however, it originally required to have a genuine license of Windows in order to install it.

Installing either Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 replaces Windows Media Player 10 with this version. It was also not available for Windows Server 2003. That requirement was later removed. It was also included in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. It is the last version of Windows Media Player to support Windows XP versions SP2—SP3 and Windows XP Professional x64 Edition.

Installation
This version of Windows Media Player requires validation of the installation of Windows XP or Windows Server 2003. It will open Windows Product Activation where the user must activate the installation. The validation however can be bypassed by extracting the installer file and executing the included installer for the Windows Media Player, the Windows Media format runtime and the User-mode Driver Framework.
