Mac Forum / Applications / Media Player / May 2006WMP 9 installer stops responding and never installs
I'm trying to install WMP 9 on a G4 PowerBook running OS 10.4.6. I had no trouble downloading the installer and unstuffing it. However, when I run it, it gets hung up in the "searching" stage and stops responding. The only thing I can do to get out of it is force quit. I've tried downloading it in two different formats, tried installing it at least half a dozen times, and the same thing happens every time. Help! Any ideas about why this is happening and how to prevent it? I'm replying to my own post in case anyone else is having this problem on a non-Intel Mac. I've given up on trying to install WMP 9. I downloaded Flip4Mac's WMV Player instead. It installed perfectly and plays Windows Media content just fine, at least on the one site I've tried it on so far. Here's the download link: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx > I'm trying to install WMP 9 on a G4 PowerBook running OS 10.4.6.

Most of these issues are described on the FAQ: WMP FAQ: http://www.cortig.net/wordpress/?page_id=30 Usually, trashing the pref and plist then repairing the Permissions gets the app running again, As long as you don;t have to deal with DRM, the Flip4Mac option is a much better solution anyway, Corentin  Signature--- Mac:MS MVP (Francophone) http://www.cortig.net/wordpress/ --- http://www.mvps.org - http://mvp.support.microsoft.com MVPs are not MS employees - Les MVP ne travaillent pas pour MS Remove "NoSpam" to e-mail me - Retirez "NoSpam" pour m'écrire |
