Perhaps the OP, somehow, installed an N version of Windows...
I just checked my WMP and the executable file is in "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Windows Media Player". The % symbols indicate wild card as the actual Folder location will change depending upon the partition Windows is installed on. The 64-bit/x64 Notebook I'm on has it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Media Player as it is a 32-bit program.
Hi folks
Not an answer to the post but why these days would anybody even THINK of using Windows media player?
There's so many better options with more codecs and free -- why not VLC or KODI as two free ones for starters. There are loads of others such as PLEX, Media monkey etc.

Hi there
nothing wrong with simple apps like notepad or even wordpad as a semi passable word processor but when the basic app won't handle a load of typical codecs used in today's multi-media stuff then it's a really easy matter to install VLC etc. In any case Windows media player is so riddled with DRM that playing anything other than most basic music is a pain.

Hi,
First thought of wmp is simple interface is preferred.
vlc is pretty much a train wreck last I used.
