WMPDXM.DLL

Often frustrated Windows Media Player users contact me to ask about this type of error:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

When I install Windows Media Player 9/10, I get a message at the end that says:

"Cannot Complete Windows Media Player 9/10 Series Setup."

It goes on to say:

 "It was not possible to complete Setup. Windows Media Player 9 Series was not installed. To update Windows, run Media Player 9 Series Setup again."

On running setup again you may have problems when running Internet Explorer!

You may get the message:

"Explorer has caused an error in WMPDXM.DLL."

---------------------------------------------------------------------

To rectify the simply go to the Start Menu and select Run...

In the small box that opens up type in the following:

regsvr32 msdxm.ocx

Now hit OK and repeat typing in:

regsvr32 dxmasf.dll

Now hit OK.

If Internet Explorer STILL crashes go to the Start Menu and select Run, then type:

regsvr32 wmp.dll

Now hit OK and repeat typing in:

regsvr32 wmpdxm.dll
 

This should now clear up your problem....

Another not so common WMPDXM.DLL issues...

Another less common WMPDXM.DLL error message I have come across is:

---------------------------------------------------

Every time I start my machine, a message comes up:
"Explorer has caused a problem in WMPDXM.DLL"

---------------------------------------------------

To rectify this issue you can re-register the WMPDXM.DLL file on your computer. To do this go to the Start Menu and select Run.

In the small box that opens up type in the following:

regsvr32 wmpdxm.dll

WMPDXM.DLL error on install of Windows Media Player 9

When getting errors on installing WMP9 onto your computer it is excellent advice to FIRST check the setup file:

C:\windows\wmsetup.log

Then look for ANY lines that contain the entry:

ERROR:

An example may be:

ERROR: Dll Registration: Failed for file 'C:\WINDOWS\System32\wmpdxm.dll'

Only then can you begin to isolate the problem.... Once you have the information you can post a request for help in the Windows Media Player newsgroups or type the error code into Google and see if that can provide you with a solution.
