You're trying to installl a 6 year old program for XP.

It's simply not going to work on Windows 7.

Even if you were running XP Mode, you cannot install an add-on when the original program (Windows Media Player) is open and running.

Click to expand...

a) well then perhaps Media player 12 should not be directing you to a website to download themes wich are not in fact compatible?
b) perhaps the error message could be a little more helpful, and not so obscure?
c) Sorry I should have mentioned that I tried it with WMP not running, I just took the screenshot with it open ... neither worked.

opplevelse,

I clicked on all the download links in WMP, but could not locate the themes.

Could you tell me what you clicked on to be directed to the Winter Fun pack?
