BUG: Windows Media Player 32-Bit Not Removed

Perhaps it is related to yesterdays out-of-band update, but WMP 32-bit is not being removed, at least according to the component options available to me. I already ran my xml on this iso and it still shows up. (Notice the 32-bit codec is gone, but not the player.)

Works fine for me.
Maybe missing the Post Setup cmd direct WMP to 64 bit player?
If so can ad Command to Post Setup: unregmp2 with parameter: SwapTo:64

Could you explain please? I haven't seen or heard of this before. I can't find any info about unregmp2 online.

In reg windows still open WMP 32 bit even if removed (why maybe it isn't?). You've to tell it to use 64 bit.
In PostSetup of preset.xml it will look like this:
<Item type="Command">
<Path>unregmp2</Path>
<Params>SwapTo:64</Params>

Just to clarify, if I did this directly on the command line it would simply be this?

Code:
unregmp2 SwapTo:64

I'm asking because when I enter that, or just unregmp2, nothing *appears* to happen -- there is no output.
 
Try this this one from cmd prompt with admin rights:
unregmp2 /SwapTo:64
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\wmplayer.exe" /ve /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe" /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\wmplayer.exe" /v path /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Media Player" /f
exit
 
In NTL Post-Setup:
Command: unregmp2
Parameter: SwapTo:64

and in NTL Registry add reg file with:

I have those already. I just wanted to report that for some reason (see pic below), WMP 32-bit player is still showing in the components section for me even after I stripped it. Here I am doing a live strip. Notice, nothing is removed because it was already removed:

Much better to test a preset - i've seen language removals too, but after a second run NTL still find langauge files that don't get removed in first place, even they are set to!?!? But with WMP 32 i havn't seen any problems with removal in first run. So feel free share your preset - in PM ok i test one of the comming days and can get back on that.
