Hello all !

 

I'm using windows media player component in my app.

When I try to build a deployment version of my app, I get the following error message:

 

ERROR: 'wmp.dll' should be excluded because its source file 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\wmp.dll' is under Windows System File Protection.

 

By the way, I use windows XP pro SP2 and VB.Net 2003.

Please... does anyone know this problem and what can be done to solve it??

 

Thanks in advanced!

Tom.

Within your delpoyment project look under the list of dependencies, right click on the wmp.dll and there should be a menu option to exclude it.

The error simply means this file is part of windows and if you attempt to install a different version from what windows is expecting it will put the original one back. If people need your version of the dll then they would need to install the correct version of Media Player.
