Is it possible to install Windows Media Player on Server 2008 when the add feature is broken?
'
I tried to download from the web, but the installer just says there is no available update for my system.



I don't really use Windows Media Player, or I wouldn't have broken the add feature thing with vLite, but it seems like lots of websites requires WMP as webplayer.. Is there any solution to my problem? Any way to install WMP? Or perhaps some other application or way for me to stream online?

What is the command to install wireless? Also, will ocsetup work even with add features broken?
