Windows Media Player 11

Windows Media Player 11 is a version of Windows Media Player released in late 2006 for Windows XP with at least Service Pack 2, and subsequently included with Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 R2 and bundled with Windows Embedded Standard 2009 and Windows Embedded POSReady 2009. However, it originally required to have a genuine license of Windows in order to install it. It was also not available for Windows Server 2003. That requirement was later removed. It is the last version of Windows Media Player to support Windows XP Service Packs 2—3 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.
