And you use the 圆4 bit version of the shark codec pack for configuring 64 bit players such as Media Center.īefore I continue, at this point I'd like to thank Shark for his help setting up my new 圆4 bit HTPC as I did get stuck in places and required his help, some of the below information was passed on to me from Shark and if you are using his codec pack and find it useful, please consider making a donation to him as I expect releasing these codec packs and supporting them is very time consuming indeed.

The Windows Media Center by default is 64 bit ! The x86 version of the shark codec pack is used to configure 32 bit players such as the default WMP12.

If you are using the Shark 007 codec pack on 圆4 you first need to install the x86 version of the codec pack as nornal, in addition to this you then need to install the 圆4 components.īy default on 64 bit Windows 7, the default WMP12 player is the 32 bit version, there is also a 64 bit version of WMP12, Shark recommends sticking with the 32bit version of WMP12 and not changing the default to be the 64 bit version.
In the past I'd mainly stayed away from 圆4 bit OS and always used 32bit, mainly because I was usually testing lots of different applications and utilities and also just because I felt more comfortable with 32 bit and codec setup.īut on this latest HTPC for my own living room I decided it was time to try 圆4 bit properly and make it stable.

To switch back to the 32-bit WMP 11, run "%windir%system32unregmp2.exe /SwapTo:32" from an elevated command prompt and reset the values of the Patch and Default subkeys.I recently built a 圆4 bit Windows 7 Ultimate HTPC. At the end of this process, you have successfully swapped x86 WMP 11 with 圆4 WMP 11 on your 64-bit Windows Vista. Make the first "%Programfiles(x86)%Windows Media Player" and the second "%ProgramFiles%Windows Media Playerwmplayer.exe."Īnd you're done. Here, you will have to modify the Patch and Default registry subkeys. Navigate your way to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionApp Pathswmplayer.exe" registry key. Following this initial step, you have to access the Registry Editor. "%Programfiles%Windows Media Playerwmplayer.exe" is the actual patch that will execute 圆4 WMP 11.Īdditionally, you can open an elevated command: prompt and enter "%Programfiles%Windows Media Playerwmplayer.exe." Running the command with administrator privileges is mandatory. In this context, launching the application from the right location, or creating a shortcut will enable you to use either of the Windows Media Player 11 versions on 圆4 Vista. With the support for the 64-bit platform gaining increased consistency and codecs being released with full compatibility with 圆4 WMP 11, you might want to set the 64-bit version of Windows Media Player 11 as the default application.įirst off, "%Programfiles(x86)%Windows Media Player" and "%Programfiles%Windows Media Player" are the two standard locations for the 32-bit WMP 11 x86 and the 圆4 WMP 11 respectively. This happens because codecs and DirectShow add-ons have been designed with the 32-bit edition of Windows Media Player 11. Due to compatibility issues, the 64-bit Windows Media Player 11 is left in the background. However, the default Windows Media Player 11 has been set to the 32-bit edition. In Windows Vista 64-bit, Microsoft, the integrated Windows Media Player 11 comes in both versions of 32-bit and 64-bit.
