Windows Media Player Plugin not working =-(
Hi there =-) Just a little background:
I'm running Mozilla Firefox 3 Beta 5, I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate Edition with SP1 and Windows Media Player 11.
I have tried and tried to install the plugin, following the instructions both here and on the official firefox 3 beta 5 release notes page. However it just will not install. I have removed it, reinstalled it, but it is still not showing up in firefox >.< Can anyone advise why this will not install, or any workaround to make it install?

Windows Media Player 11 Plugin
I too, on first try, found that it would not appear in the list of plugins. So, having made sure it was not installed, I rebooted, went through the install procedure, rebooted and voila, there it was.

I run WMP11 on Vista HP just fine, but I too went thru some issues till I found that the plugin went into a folder: C:\pfiles\plugins - once I moved the .dll to the correct location all was good.

Re: Windows Media Player Plugin not working =-(
With Fx4 WMP plugin is not working at all (it says: missing plugin)
It works fine in 3.6.x
Is there any way to make it work in Fx4?

Re: Windows Media Player Plugin not working =-(
copy np-mswmp.dll in plugins folder (in 3.6.* program directory) to Minefield/4.0 program directory.
you have to create plugins folder in Minefield/4.0 program directory.

Thank you, pal-moz!
Whose task is this to fix? Mozilla's or MS'?

plugin is installed into only standard install directory, like c:\program files\Mozilla Firefox.
maybe MS's fault.

did you read the below site on Littlemutt post ?
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Windows_Media ... new_plugin
it says
""The plugin installer adds the file "np-mswmp.dll" to the Firefox installation directory plugins folder, typically "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins". If Firefox is not installed or if the Firefox installation directory cannot be located, the plugin will be placed in another location such as C:\PFiles\Plugins [4] [5]. To install the plugin in SeaMonkey or in a custom Firefox installation, you will need to copy the "np-mswmp.dll" file to your browser's plugins folder, for example, to the "C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\SeaMonkey\plugins" folder for SeaMonkey. ""

No. But it doesnt change much.
Average users install firefox to the deafult directory.
Anyway, it's not good, and need to be fixed.

it's "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
so no problem there.

Re: Windows Media Player Plugin not working =-(
I dont you what are you talking about.
I asked about WMP plugin bug.
You said to copy into Minefield/plugins. Solved.
Then you said it's working well on default directory. "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
Then me said it's okay, because Fx4 final will use that. Minefield or beta are not using that.
Then you start complaining IDK what for. :S
