I read that CCleaner may remove the ability for an complete un install of Windows Media Player
I am having a problem re installing WMP-11
The registry cleaner had removed WMP entries that disabled the player
Has there been any solutions to the registry entry removals for WMP ?

This might not be of any use. But no harm in saying. using m$ built in uninstaller does not fully uninstall software any way.
Have you tryed using something like your uninstaller? This will completely remove wmp and then maybe try reinstalling?
I am very concerned about the CCregistry cleaner as it has removed, on several occations, more than it should.
I have had problems with other programs as well as WMedia Player.
I thought that it was a better, safer way to clean the registry, but now I will have to examine each one before removing.
Thanks for the reply

Nothing is 100% safe when it comes to the registry. You should never just click clean up because ccleaner lists something.
You should ALWAYS check the entrys that are listed. CCleaner is most def the safest registry cleaner. but that does not mean you should not chek yourself
Ccleaner does offer the option to back up.
Also there is a program called ERUNT http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/
It's a very small bit of software that creates a backup of the registry on windows startup. Takes literaly no time. Something i suggest using.
hope this helps
Oh men! You are wrong.
This has nothing to do with the registry.
I'm sure you have "Hotfix Uninstallers" ticked.
When you install WMP Windows backs up the last version you had in case you uninstall.
If you deleted them, Windows will have nothing to replace WMP with.
Oh men!You guys are wrong.
care to explain which bit i was wrong on? I never attempted to try answer his question. Just gave my two pence worth on using m$ uninstaller and some advice on alwasy checking entrys listed for deletion in ccleaner.

First of you haven't said which operating system with service pack you are using.
Are you saying that something has removed the entry for Windows Media Player 11 and Windows Media Format 11 Runtime from the Control Panel - Add/Remove and CC Tools\Uninstall?
As already mensioned WinXP installs WMP 9.0 by default. I downloaded 10.0 and 11.0 just to try the upgrade. I installed 10.0 and ran a video but it was very choppy. I installed 11.0 to see it that was any better no it wasn't.
I uninstalled 11.0 which put 10.0 back in its place. I unistalled 10.0 which put 9.0 back in its place.
Does it through up any errors if you try to install 11.0 again?
The uninstall string for WMP 11 is
C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\Setup_wm.exe /Uninstall
Paste this in the Run: button.

You weren't wrong men.
Actually, you did what you had to do.
Nice work, by the way.
I just know by experience that this is not a registry issue.
I changed my last post.
I'm sorry, I shouldn't had used the plural.
I hope we are cool.
