Trying to Download Windows Media Player! Not working...:o(

[Keldud7]

Hi there. Yes, I am going to the other side, to download Windows Media player, so I can watch wmv files. Anyway, I went to macdownloads and downloaded it. It's a sitx file. I tried opening it with Stuffit Expander. Should I try a different app? When I try using Stuffit, it gives me a message saying there was an error and it couldn't be opened. Is there something wrong with the file or what? Thanks for any suggestions! Have a gr8 day!

you didn't mention which version you're trying to dload nor OS you run. note you need 10.1.5 for version 9.0

otherwise look for Mplayer great free app check macupdate here

Hi there. Sorry bout that. I am trying to download version 9.0 of media player and I'm running 10.4.2

WMP 9 runs on MacOS X. The most recent version for MacOS 9 is WMP 7.

[Keldud7]

Right. I'm running OSX. So I should be able to download version 9, right?

You're going to need the latest version of Stuffit Expander from http://www.stuffit.com. You're going to need that version since WMP for OS X is compressed in .sitx format, which is only supported by the version provided by the link I just gave you.

thanks a bunch, I'll try that. )

The version of WMP on the site Gig linked to is in .bin format, not .sitx. You'll still need StuffIt to handle it, but if you can't get the sitx working, you should give the bin a shot.
