Media Player problems

Hi All,

I have installed a legit copy of Vista Business Edition and was under the
impression that it would ship with Media Player 11 but it isnt there.

If i try to play an mp3......it does not know what application to use and i
cant find any link or reference to an installed media player.

I tried to d/l MP11 from microsofts site and ran the install but it just
disappears half way through the install.

Any ideas or advice appreciated.

Regards
Andy

Two questions:

1. how is your copy of Vista Business Edition legit?

2. Is it the N version from EU that doesn't include WMP?

1. It was installed on a raft of computers that our business bought in prep
for a project......supplied with disks and licenses from a major manufacturer

2. This was the answer thanks.......could have done without that ^
