[Request] Windows Media Player 6.4 (16-bit) for Windows 3.x
For some reason when I install Windows Media Player 5.2 Beta on my VirtualBox 6.1 Windows 3.11 VM, I get a PROGMAN page fault error if a Sound Blaster 1,1.5, or SB16 driver is present.
According to this forum post, Microsoft may have released a 16 bit version of WMP 6.4.

I can only find the 32 bit versions of WMP so I am asking if anyone here knows where to get any other 16 bit version.

according to https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!msg/microsoft.public.win3x_wfw_dos/ijdh3PAX4qQ/HXzsHEeNCp8J , the archived page points to 5.2 beta.
After reviewing your page I fear that the 6.4 version on the Win 3.X Microsoft Windows Update page may have been a typo. Good news is installing Win32s updates WMP so I may try this route. Either way, I wouldn't mind an earlier version before the 5.2b just to see if it causes the same page fault.
Also,I am not sure what "You'll need a mmtask.tsk update" refers to.

These are Media Player Classic exe files, not WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER.
Furthermore it's easy to find Windows Media Player 6.4, but none of the ones I have found are for Windows 3.1
