I cannot install YouCam and get the error message "YouCam requires a component of Microsoft Windows Media Player to function properly." What should I do?

Reason:

Error Message

The message "YouCam requires a component of Microsoft Windows Media Player to function properly. Please install Microsoft Windows Media Player (version 11.0 or above) first." pops up when:

  1. Windows Media Player (version 11.0 or above) is not installed.
