Unable to download Real Player

Hello! I've been unable to download Real Player on my computer because(this
is the message which I keep getting at the end of the failed download): I do
not have administrative access to windows registry, and therefore need to
contact my system administrator, whom in this case is obviously Microsoft!. I
have purchased my computor at a flee market last year and therefore I have no
clue who the original seller is! I've been on this since last night and as a
result I have slept about three hours!; I absolutely need to download real
player in order to have access to an ammazing internet radio station site
which I listened to at a friend's house yesterday!; And I cannot affore the
$45.00 plus tax which is the regular fee when one seeks from Microsoft
technical support as I've been out of a job for a while due to my heart
surgery. Any help on this will be highly appreciated!; Thank you all in
advance!.

Hello.
Is this a 64-bit specific issue? You may have stumbled into the wrong
newsgroup.

You could try downloading it with something different, for example
Firefox (www.mozilla.com) which is a free web browser. Somehow I think
that getting it downloaded is only going to be the start of your
problems as it sounds like you don't have an Administrator id.

The standard (free) version attempts to install but will not run on the
64bit platform. Don't know about the payware version?

The OP said he was having problems downloading it, and that the problem
was "not have administrative access to windows registry". I'm not sure
what that's got to do with downloading it, but the symptom of RealPlayer
not installing on x64 is that it says quite clearly that it won't
install on x64. I suspect this is what led Aaron to suspect this is not
an x64 issue at all as the symptoms don't match.

Real Player does not support x64. You cannot install it or run it.

Correct! I suspect this is not a 64-bit issue.

Also... For reference, the lesser-known RealPlayer 10 Enterprise installs
and runs fine on x64. I prefer using it anyway, it contains less of the
RealPlayer annoyances.

Which verison of it do you have? Older ones worked, but newer ones block
installation on x64. A stupid trick Apple then copied with iTunes.

6.0.12.1483, which is, I believe, the latest possible (it says there's no
more updates.)

I'm at my wit's end trying to figure out how I managed it, Graham. And Wife
won't let me uninstall and experiment. It's possible that I used a
stand-alone EXE installer that I had previously cached,
RealPlayer10-5GOLD_bb.exe , and then used the Update functions. I just can't
remember. Those two days of drivers and software installation are all a blur
to me now, even though it was only ten days ago!

Heck, for all I know, I found the Enterprise version and installed that.
Without being able to experimant, I can't tell. Don't know what Enterprise
version looks like, for sure.

You make life easier, Carlos. I have been searching for this occasionally
but always find myself in a maze of links that leads no-where but the next
maze. I am wary of such things ending up in Viral 'Cul de Sac'. Now it is up
and running, thank YOU!

By the way, I am looking for something that can play *.Vcr files, it's a
file format that was invented for Video Conferencing, I think - Microsoft
has used those in some games, and ATI use them to, but I don't know if they
are all mutually compatible. I found a 'ZoomPlayer' that was said to handle
those, but no luck! Ever heard of any of this?

Ah - and the zoomplayer looks interesting all the same!

Yeah, that's why I kept my older version of the Real Player and QuickTime
installers - I looked where the download installers cache the real installer
files too and copied them to my Software updates folder for safe keeping.
I've also noticed the the newer Adobe 7.08 reader IE plugin crashes with the
32-bit version of IE, but unintalling and reverting to the 7.05 reader IE
plugin works just fine, as much as the Flash 9, crashed continuesly in the
32-bit of IE, but reverting toe Flash 8 works fine. It seems so stupid that
the software manufacturers have a 32-bit product that works fine in 32-bit
mode on x64 OS's, but they are blocking them not letting them work - oh but
I know, corporate America and their greed - if they block the 32-bit
versions that work, and create 64-bit versions that work has @$$, then they
can charge more money and swindle us out of that money - how stupid of me to
forget capitalism????

The older version of it and a lot of other 32-bit applications do - the
software manufacturers are blocking it on purpose so they can release 64-bit
versions and charge for them - I know, I've spoken with insiders at several
companies that know this is what is happening. See my post above on some of
them that do - i.e. older versions of QuickTime, Adobe Acrobat Reader, Real
Play and Adobe aka MacroMedia Flash and Shockwave - all are confirmed as
they currently are installed and running fine on both Win2k3 x64 and WinXP
x64 servers/workstations.
Just like I just found out the latest patch for Roxio Creator v8, disables
it working on x64, but if you don't apply the patch it works fine - that's
because as GPPower posted above, Roxio just released a fully x64 version 9
at $99.99 US, so of course the motive is GREED, but version 8 worked fine
for me the past year on both...

I don't know if they want to charge for the x64 version or if there are
issues that they can't support at the moment. I have the Free Enterprise
version running on my x64. I only use it at all because I have some
subscriptions.

My 6.0.12.1235 refuses to update any more, or at least it finds no
updates. I assume Real's got updates blocked too.

I've now got *five* different downloads of 6.0.12.1483 (according to the
installer file anyway), and every one of them is a different size! I've
not experienced a bad download of anything for years apart from a
truncated huge ISO or two (and it was pretty obvious they were broken),
so I tend to discount that as a reason.

Two of them I downloaded this evening from different links on [un]Real's
web site; one is 12 366 KB, the other is 13 210 KB. Previous efforts
were 13 206 KB, 12 366 KB and 12 374 KB. Every one of them refuses to
install on x64, simply because it is x64. I've tried the Windows XP
compatibilty trick and that doesn't work (actually, I've not found
anything that does make work).

I don't want to use the enterprise version because I sure as heck aren't
going to give them the name of the company I really work for, and I
don't like lying even to overcome what I regard as rampant stupidity.

Companies which does this can behave as though they have their heads
stuck where the sun doesn't shine, but I *will* remember these stupid
tricks in future. And if anyone is wondering, no it won't make me *more*
likely to use their products and services!
