Install all Vista upgrade packs, then test WMP12 with Dependency Walker. Report the problems found.

try copy this from win 7

API-MS-WIN-DOWNLEVEL-ADVAPI32-L1-1-0.DLL

API-MS-WIN-DOWNLEVEL-OLE32-L1-1-0.DLL

API-MS-WIN-DOWNLEVEL-SHLWAPI-L1-1-0.DLL 

downlevel api dll contain forward to real dll like ole32 , some may not exists in vista you may need wrapper .

with cff explorer try to change following dll in import 

API-MS-WIN-DOWNLEVEL-ADVAPI32-L1-1-0.DLL => ADVAPI32.DLL

API-MS-WIN-DOWNLEVEL-OLE32-L1-1-0.DLL => OLE32.DLL

These files are delay-loaded so the warnings about them missing can be ignored for now. Remove them if added. They complicate things for now.

In DW, scroll to the right. What is the Subsystem Ver. listed for Wmplayer.exe and ieshims.dll? This needs to be 6.0 or less for all files.

The ieshims.dll file you add needs to be Vista-compatible. Use the one from IE9 for Vista (you might need to install all of IE9 for Vista). Edited by jumper

BTW, just wondering, but why do you want to make WMP 12 work on Vista :dubbio:? AFAIK it doesn't have that many functionality updates... Also, I don't know if it would have mp4 support, seeing that it comes from the improved Media Foundation API found in 7.

i just feel it would be cool if it would work in vista,i know there are many other players like vlc that can be used even then i think it would be fun to get wmp12 working,also there are many posts regarding this and it seems wmp 12 from windows 7 build 7000 was working in vista
