Pocket PC Forum / End Users / Multimedia / April 2004Error: Cannot find 'player'
After batteries drained and programs lost on iPAQ 1910, reinstallation of Windows Media Player 8 For Pocket PC from original CD fails with the error message: "Cannot find 'player' (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and all the required libraries are available." Have reinstalled multiple times with the same result. This software worked fine before the power loss. Hi I "lost" Media Player on my 1910 too. Having searched Google I found a solution that worked for me - it is a bit involved but is not as bad as it looks. I'm including the text below. As I said it worked for me, but I give no warranty about it. You should do a full back-up before you try it. It involves WMP 7.1 (available from the MS download site) which PPC 2002 says you can't use -don't worry, be of good faith and do the following: - when you install WMP7.1 on the desktop, you'll get the error message saying version not compatible - don't close the error dialog - look for a file "wolf.arm.cab" in the temp folder of your desktop (you may need to change folder options to show hidden files/folders) - copy that file to your PPC's Start Menu - you may then close the error message on the desktop - on your PPC, go to Start Menu, tap on the cab file to install the program" HTH.

However, I followed your lead in searching Google and found the solution that worked for me: http://www.pocketpccity.com/boards/Ipaq/messages/21976.html |
