Additional Comments

It does not install. You have to extract the files from the installer (using a cab archiver like winrar) and overwrite the ones from a wmp9 installation. (So you need to install wmp9 first) Then you have to fix some hex registry values (all values in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Setup\Installed Versions have to be set to 00 00 0A 00 3E 0E 00 00) Finally you need a native gdiplus.dll Works only with wine version set to win98 or winme

HowTo / Notes

HOWTO (With/Without winetricks)

Tested with Wine 0.9.48. Open a terminal type in:

winetricks wmp10

This doesn't override quartz or devenum; you might still want to do that.

Alternately, you can try a manual procedure:

Place jscript.dll in Wine's windows/system32 directory (usually ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32)
Run regsvr32 jscript.dll
In the system32 directory, delete urlmon.dll and replace it with this one
Run winecfg and set the Windows version to XP. Add an application wmplayer.exe and set it to use Windows XP as well. Go to the libraries tab and add an override for urlmon
Run the installer. Once it is complete you should run winecfg and set the default windows version back to 2000, keeping the override for wmplayer
To get the visualization/progress bar working, place devenum.dll and quartz.dll in Wine's windows/system32 directory, and add dll overrides for them under 'wmplayer.exe'

WMP 10 Installation Procedure

You NEED to install through winetricks unless you are ABSOLUTELY sure you know what you are doing. Otherwise it does not run. Once installed, you need to install some sort of codec pack so you can listen to music and watch videos. The winetricks install already provides an installer for the 7+ codec package.
