Cannot uninstall / reinstall / repair WMP 11

I was lucky enough to get my first virus in 9 years and after I got
everything cleaned and put back together, the only victim is WMP 11, which
crashes as soon as I open it.

I downloaded the version on MS's website hoping to reinstall or repair, but
it says:
There is a more recent version of Windows Media Player (11.0.6001.7000)
already insatlled on your computer. It is not possible to use an older
installation package (11.0.5721.5146) to install files or to repair your
current version of the Player.

So, how do I fix this? Vista Business, btw.

Thanks.

What's the specific crash information?

Yeah, you absolutely cannot use the *XP* player to reinstall the *Vista*
player. That would be a bad plan. =)

If you look up "WMP11.AssocFile.WMA" on http://support.microsoft.com ,
you'll find probably the best currently publicly available solution in this
venue.

http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#reinstallvista
is probably a last interesting place to look.

zachd - actually going to give you what you've been looking for - an actual

Read'em and weep. Hauppage is to blame. I'd love to do a repair, but no
such animal. Bonus points - I have a DRM folder - it's completely empty.

Thanks!

Follow the steps here:

You have a corrupt DRM store, likely caused by a processor upgrade.

You can't see the files by default because either a) you're viewing the
wrong folder or b) you do not have Show System Hidden Files turned on. =)

I alsways show hidden folders and files, and the DRM folder still doesn't
show. I can type it in directly and it opens, but it won't show up in the
tree until I do that. As far as I can see it's empty too.

I verified the registry tree and there was no DataPath key, only an empty
(DEFAULT) key so I think that could be the issue. I tried reinstalling the
DRM components and I crash when clicking Update button on the site.

OK, then you should have a second location for DataPath in your Wow6432Node
and you likely have a second folder.

Regardless that file exists on your system since that's where you're
crashing: the next trick is to figure out where. What path is it at on your
system?
