After upgrading to latest windows player, player exe missing, even after reboot

Hi

I will try this later on, however I’ve found some similarities to other posts on this forum, previously after several uninstall/reinstalls I’m getting an “ended prematurely” message:- so will try the workaround listed in the thread below.

(https://ended prematurely)

That links to here --> https://www.thewindowsclub.com/installation-fails-installation-ended-prematurely-because-of-an-error

Also there is one in this thread
Windows Player installation failure - which then takes me to a workaround associated with powershell, but then ultimately it says that this has been incorporated into advanced installer version 17.1 updated last May, I’m guessing this is already in the install I’m using or i’m not using the “advanced” version.

Anyway I’ll try both your suggestion and the “ended prematurely” fix later this evening if that doesn’t work, when the screen isn’t in use and get back to you.

Thanks
