I know the last answer was like about 6 month ago but I know the solution to
install media player 11. You need to extract all the contents and patch as told
in this blog:

http://fmshaon.blogspot.com/2006/11/how-to-install-windows-media-player.html

I've done it in windows though I think it should work ok in wine as this bypass
the validation step to do a correct install.

Any news on this or even better on the centrafuse auto progress will be
appreciated.

BTW: Hi to every, first post on the forum, willing to help.
