--- Comment #14 from Anastasius Focht <focht at gmx.net> ---
Hello folks,

since the WGA check involves actual product registration data which Wine can't
provide by design this is a WONTFIX.

There exist an easy workaround with 'winetricks -q wmp11' recipe though.

$ sha1sum wmp11-final.exe 
f084f3311889fe8ecbe7de1c408e704a01853d80  wmp11-final.exe

$ du -sh wmp11-final.exe 
25M    wmp11-final.exe

$ wine --version
wine-1.7.24-150-gcf4404c

Regards
