                How to install Windows Media Player 11 to a Proton prefix
              
          
        
      
        
  
      
    Download Windows Media Player 11, 64 bit (wmp11-windowsxp-x64-enu.exe):
$ cd /tmp/
$ curl -O https://web.archive.org/web/20190512112704/https://download.microsoft.com/download/3/0/8/3080C52C-2517-43DE-BDB4-B7EAFD88F084/wmp11-windowsxp-x64-enu.exe
Extract the archive:
$ cabextract wmp11-windowsxp-x64-enu.exe -d wmp11
Run and close the game through Steam. A Proton prefix is created on the first run.
Go to the game's folder inside Steam's compatdata folder:
$ cd $HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/287290
Set prefix to Windows XP:
$ WINEPREFIX=$PWD/pfx wine winecfg
