unable to install WMP on windows 7, Error:"Windows Media Player is not installed properly."

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium x64. Some time ago my Windows Media Player went to one side of me and stops working. I ongoing to acquire a message box say "Windows Media Player is not installed properly and have to be reinstalled. Do you want to install the player from the Microsoft Web site?" Clicking the "Yes" button takes me to a MS website that gives the useless message apologizing profusely for his singular lack of help and cheerfully suggested I look for an update. Digging into several records with the Event Viewer do not show me anything. So now I'm screwed. So how do a repair installation of WMP 12, can anyone suggest on this and so that I can solve miner issue.
