Install Windows Media Player WMP 11 and Bypass Windows Genuine Advantage WGA Validation

Windows Media Player (WMP) 11 for XP has been released which is available for direct full download from Windows Media Player Download page (no validation required), or Microsoft Download Center (WGA validation required), and Microsoft decided to add a WGA check to the installation routine.
If you managed to download Windows Media Player 11 and double-click the executable, there is a built-in WGA that check whether your Windows is genuine or not when trying to install as WMP 11 is designated by Microsoft for users running genuine Microsoft products or genuine Windows. If you failed to pass the WGA, you will get this message:
============================================================
Setup cannot continue
One or more of the following problem has occurred during Setup.

Windows Genuine Advantage Validation

Setup was unable to validate that your copy of Windows is genuine. Click Finish to close setup and navigate your web browser to the Windows Genuine Advantage Website for additional information.
============================================================

I found a trick to working for both the Media Player 11 installation and the Internet Explorer 7 installation.
After you download that Windows Media Player 11 from Microsoft website, use any compression utility, such as Winrar, to extract the WMP11 installer to a temporary directory. You can right click on the setup file and choose any Extract option or launch the extraction utility and choose the WMP11 setup file to extract it.
Then download legitlib.rar and extract it. Copy that extracted legitlib.dll and paste legitlib.dll into the extracted directory of WMP11 installer. Overwrite any existing file.
Run setup_wm.exe. and done. You can install Windows Media Player wmp 11 Beta accordingly.

Alternatively, you can download this registry file, executed it and start the windows media player 11 for xp installation and it should go through passing the WGA check without problems. Suspicious users should check the registry file before they double-click it and make a backup of their registry.
