Windows Media Feature Pack Windows 10 Pro N
Montana Strobl
What you want to do is open the start menu and search for "Turn Windows features on or off", in the window that opens look for media features, expand it, select Windows Media Player and click OK. With that done iCloud 5 will install. Why does iCloud 5 need WMP when iCloud 4 did not? No idea...
I agree wholeheartedly with you mwkeefer re Windows Media Player--I consider it "thug software", and won't use it. If you come up with a solution that does not require Media Player, I'd appreciate it if you post it.
I basically created a Virtual Box VM using the official microsoft IE Test Virtual Disk Images (Available from WinXP to Win10 with Edge) and run quite well in Oracle Virtual Box on my modest Lenovo S11 Yoga 2.5 (I call it a 2.5 because it's not quite a 2 nor an 11S, it's like they refurbed it but forgot to put a serial number in the BIOS which leads me to determine verison based on HW) which is as I can tell a Haswell Chipset with a 2.5 Core i5 Dual Core, Quad Thread atop 12GB of RAM and a 480GB SSD Drive internally.
2.) Took a clean snapshot of the VM Image to use as a "NEXT INTERATION TESTING", no I won't leave everyone cold without a file based solution (may require installing various bits from archive, SFC, etc - I will keep this legal only, may even need a DONER Install Disk or i386 directory to expand the ._files to useable once again.
My next interation I will determine which files iCloud 5 and then 5.1 actually require from the Windows Media Player install (since it's just enabled / diabled, it must be stock files) - if it merely fails because it doesn't detect the files at all, but we don't care about that aspect (playback of media as there is no iTunes on Windows) I suppose Step #1 will be trick it with fake executables to get it going and then Step #2 - Create a Win32/64 thunk layter
I'm experiencing the same problem every time I try to download iCloud; the exact same error message pops up. But when I open "Turn Windows features on or off", I don't have a "Media Features" option to expand in order to click Windows Media Player. ? Any suggestions on how to get the Media Features/WMP option to appear or another solution to my problem?
I've recently bough GTA5 for the computer, but through Game-stop. They gave me a code, and I got the install EXE file. I thought I could simply run it through steam, and I'd be done. However, when I try to install, it says: Unable to detect the Windows Media Feature Pack on your system. Please install the Windows Media feature Pack, then retry the installation. I can't find any way to install it! I think I've got the MSU file, but that can't be run with PlayOnLinux (Which is what I'm also using to run Steam, so It can run windows games) Please help! If necessary I can steal the pack from my old Windows XP computer, but that would be awful. Is there any way to install it?
I remember that there was such a package for Windows Media Player 10 (the last version for XP) which basically added playback functionality for newer formats, but I'm not sure if that will solve your problem. You are probably just misguided by the installers requirement for this platform and how the target OS or Wine interprets it to satisfy this dependency (play video similar H.264 with Windows Media, I assume).
Since you trick the installer with Wine, make sure that your Wine configuration is set to correctly mimic at least Windows Vista and try to install Windows Media Player 11. WMP10 is the latest version PlayOnLinux and Winetricks seem to support and WMP12 is available since Windows 7, but might be even trickier to install than WMP11.
This is the mess you get, when you don't use the actual target platform but another implementation that tries to mimic it with best effort. A solution to this problem would be implement the functionality that results in this dependency by using another software component like gstreamer (and probably replace the DirectX 10 dependency), that would make it more interoperable or even a good Linux port. However that was not the intention of the game designers or staff responsible for the "PC port". The intention obviously was to provide the best experience and performance on Windows without researching what the best cross-platform solution to video playback is, and I can't blame them.
MiniTool OEM program enable partners like hardware / software vendors and relative technical service providers to embed MiniTool software with their own products to add value to their products or services and expand their market.
For standard Windows 11 editions like Home, Pro, Education, Enterprise, etc., they come with a mass of pre-installed apps including Windows Media Player, Microsoft Teams, Skype, Voice Recorder, and more.
Although these apps are convenient to some users, some regions take issue against the integration of these media apps, saying it is a monopoly against vendors of similar third-party apps. The famous event is the European Union (EU) sued Microsoft for abuse of its dominant position in the market according to competition law.
As a result, Microsoft offers the special N edition of Windows 11 and 10 for the European market. For the Korean market, Windows 11 KN is available. Windows 11 N and KN have similar features to the main editions but they lack some media features.
For versions of Windows 1903 and below you could download the Media Feature Pack as an .msu file and install onto a PC without it being connected to the Internet. -us/software-download/mediafeaturepack
I thought the feature may have been included as part of the Feature On Demand (FOD) ISO, but the Media Feature Pack is not listed in the following article. -us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/features-on-demand-non-language-fod
I also tried setting "The Specify settings for optional component installation and component repair" policy on the client, and as described in the URL below configured the "Alternate source file path" to point to a Windows 10 (non-N) WIM file. -us/windows/deployment/update/fod-and-lang-packs
Windows Media Player (WMP, officially referred to as Windows Media Player Legacy to distinguish it from the new Windows Media Player introduced with Windows 11), is the first media player and media library application that Microsoft developed to play audio and video on personal computers. It has been a component of the Microsoft Windows operating system, including Windows 9x, Windows NT, Pocket PC, and Windows Mobile. Microsoft also released editions of Windows Media Player for classic Mac OS, Mac OS X, and Solaris, but has since discontinued them.
In addition to being a media player, the app can rip audio file from compact discs, burn Audio CDs or MP3 CDs, synchronize content with a digital audio player or mobile devices, and stream media over the local network. Originally, it could connect to a number of online music stores, allowing its users to purchase digital music. The default file formats are Windows Media Video (WMV), Windows Media Audio (WMA), and Advanced Systems Format (ASF), and its own XML based playlist format called Windows Playlist (WPL). The player is also able to utilize a digital rights management service in the form of Windows Media DRM.
Windows Media Player is a unique component, in that since 1999, each version of Windows came with two or more versions of it side-by-side. For example, Media Player versions 5.1, 6.4, and 8 were all included in Windows XP. Each versions of Windows may bundle several other media playback apps, namely ActiveMovie Control, CD Player, DVD Player, Windows Media Center, and Microsoft Movies & TV.
Windows Media Player 11 is the last out-of-band version of Media Player. It was made available for Windows XP and is included in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. Version 12 was released in 2009 along with Windows 7[b] and has not been made available for previous versions of Windows nor has it been updated ever since.[2][3] Windows 8 bundled Windows Media Player 12 along two other media player apps, namely Xbox Video and Xbox Music. The latter was renamed Groove Music in Windows 10, and then finally Media Player in Windows 11[4] which has also been backported to Windows 10.[5]
The first version of Windows Media Player appeared in 1991, when Windows 3.0 with Multimedia Extensions was released.[6] Originally called Media Player, this component was included with "Multimedia PC"-compatible machines but not available for retail sale. It was capable of playing .mmm animation files, and could be extended to support other formats.[7] It used MCI to handle media files. Being a component of Windows, Media Player shows the same version number as that of the version Windows with which it was included.
Microsoft continually produced new programs to play media files. In November of the following year, Video for Windows was introduced with the ability to play digital video files in an AVI container format,[8] with codec support for RLE and Video1, and support for playing uncompressed files. Indeo 3.2 was added in a later release. Video for Windows was first available as a free add-on to Windows 3.1, and later integrated into Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0. In 1995, Microsoft released ActiveMovie with DirectX Media SDK. ActiveMovie incorporates a new way of dealing with media files, and adds support for streaming media (which the original Media Player could not handle). In 1996, ActiveMovie was renamed DirectShow.[9] However, Media Player continued to come with Windows until Windows XP, in which it was officially renamed Windows Media Player v5.1.[10] ("v5.1" is the version number of Windows XP).
In 1999, Windows Media Player's versioning broke away from that of Windows itself. Windows Media Player 6.4 came as an out-of-band update for Windows 95-98 and Windows NT 4.0 that co-existed with Media Player and became a built-in component of Windows 2000, Windows ME, and Windows XP with an mplayer2.exe stub allowing to use this built-in instead of newer versions.[11] Windows Media Player 7.0 and its successors also came in the same fashion, replacing each other but leaving Media Player and Windows Media Player 6.4 intact. Windows XP is the only operating system to have three different versions of Windows Media Player (v5.1, v6.4, and v8) side by side. All versions branded Windows Media Player (instead of simply Media Player) support DirectShow codecs. Windows Media Player version 7 was a large revamp, with a new user interface, visualizations and increased functionality. Windows Vista, however, dropped older versions of Windows Media Player in favor of v11, which included the removal of the Windows Media Source Filter (DirectShow codec).
