How to install windows media player (WMP11) plug-in for opera

Windows media player plug-in has recently become a headache for many users specially those using vista. With the new buzz of WMP firefox plug-in, there is more confusion than ever before. That installer should install in c:\PFiles> and should be either auto-detected by opera or copy files to opera plug-in folder. Sometimes, nothing happens.There are discussion in the forum to extract np-mswmp.dll file from C:\PFiles\Plugins\np-mswmp.dll to opera plug-in folder. You can also get the np-mswmp.dll file by extracting(using uniextract program) the installer itself.
Method 1 For your conenience, you can download this zip file with latest wmp plug-ins and extract the files to opera's plug-in folder(c>programfiles>opera>program>plug-in).
Alternate Method: I use WMP 11 plug-in files without any problem on windowx xp and vista(don't know about 64-bit).For me old horse still runs good! So I would rather recommend use this simple steps to make windows media player plug-in working with opera.

You will need the following files: npds.zip, npdsplay.dll, and npwmsdrm.dll in Opera's plugins directory for WMP plug-in to work with opera. Get these plug-in files from this zip file, unzip and copy/paste those to opera's plug-in folder (c:\program files>opera>program>plug-in ). Start opera and enjoy. Tools>advanced>plug-ins should show you detected plug-in for WMP.

I couldnt view videos on BBC news website, and simply downloading the zip file and placing the 3 files in the plugin folder made the file play (after restarting the browser).
I'm using Opera 9.26 on Windows Vista 64bit.
