    If I run this it will wipe out my current Windows - not update it

    Did you install it?

    This package is complete, with all dependencies. It's supposed to work on Windows 11.

    Post a screenshot of what happens...

    Please provide more information about your installed version, since "11" doesn't seem to be enough to try to help you.
    Is it an "N" version by any chance?
    Furtermore, what exactly does "got deleted" mean?

    I just read this thread and looked on my install I am currently using, and I too do not have the option for media player legacy. However, my solution was solved when I figured out that during the install iso I created, I disabled windows media player legacy in the settings using schneegans.de autounattend script. If you are using that like myself, just remove the check mark by media player legacy.

    I never caught it until now and in the process of making a new iso. Hope this helps anyone.

    Ahh... Then you can change Edition to Pro without "N" edition? that might work, if you use Massgrave tools that let you change the edition?
