A lot of people has been asking for the cracked version of Legitlib.dll to enable them to install the new Windows Media Player 11 Beta without having the original Microsoft Windows installed.
Crackers put them up on free hosting such as RapidShare and MyTempdir but the file will be removed within few days time due to complains. In fact, no one dares to put the cracked legitlib.dll file on their own domain because they can get into real serious legal problems with the multi million dollar Microsoft company.
Instead of using the cracked version of legitlib.dll, you can also searched for patch that is able to automatically crack the legitlib.dll file or if you’re good in bytes and bits, you can use a hexeditor to edit the bytes.
Whiterat, a member of the cracker group TeamICU has released a patch that is able to crack the legitlib.dll file automatically.
The legitlib.dll patch by Whiterat can be obtained at any TeamICU official distro which is mostly FTP.
You can use Web2FTP to connect to any TeamICU distro FTP and download the legitlib.dll patch. If you don’t know how to do it or missed the article that I wrote on how to use Web2FTP, you can view the article here.
Just enter the Server name or IP, Port, Username and Password at the Web2FTP. When you’re connected, navigate to /2006/05.may/ and search for the file microsoft.windows.media.player.11.patch-icu.zip. Click on the filename and make sure that it’s highlighted, then click on the 
image to start the download.
For your information, most of your browser does support FTP. Meaning you can use your browser such as Internet Explorer to download, upload, delete and perform some other actions on FTP server.
This is the syntax of FTP URLS on your browser.
ftp://user:password@host:port/path
The instruction to patch the legitlib.dll is nearly the same as replacing the cracked legitlib.dll except it requires 1 extra step that is to run the patch and click on the patch button.
1. Download the official Windows Media Player 11 Beta
2. Extract wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe using PowerArchiver or WinRAR and you will see a new folder named mpsetup.
3. Extract and copy the Patch.exe from the microsoft.windows.media.player.11.patch-icu.zip to mpsetup folder.
4. Run Patch.exe and click on the Patch button.
5. Run setup_wm.exe from the mpsetup folder.
Another way is to crack it yourself by hex editing legitlib.dll file.
1. Use any hexeditor such as WinHex.
2. Load legitlib.dll file into WinHex.
3. Search for the Offset 000198EC. The current value is EB.
4. Change the value EB to 7C by typing over the current value.
5. Press CTRL+S to save the cracked legitlib.dll
Note: Cracking the legitlib.dll is definitely against Microsoft law. This information is only for your knowledge and you use it at your own risk.

i have already installed WMP11 as a MP update.When i start MP it asks for validation. will i still be able to crack it?
kooooooooooool It Works
thanks
The above method is tedious
Heres a simpler one
go to rapidshare.de/files/27190502/crack_for_windows_media_player_11.rar.html
It contains crack and steps to install WMP11beta
Sieg heil!
You have the hex editing info backwards. It’s 7C -> EB. EB is an “always jmp” command.
I need patch LegitCheckControl.dll and patch legitlib.dll and genuine windows validation crack.
Brilliant :)
Look out for my universal WGA patcher coming soon :P
It will patch LegitCheckControl.dll, WgaTray.exe and WgaLogon.dll
Whiterat, thanks for dropping by ;)
I’ve removed the direct link to the file as per your request.
Nice to see my stretch is far on the internet, however please remove the direct link to the file.
People can find it for themselves.
Man, thx, nice work :D
Hi,
I dont seem to have the legitlib.dll file because i didnt install the genuine validation crap. Is there any way i can crack it?
cool than ice
can you send me a link to download all dancer of dancer le
There is another way, of course.. Hex edit setup_wm.exe and change the section displaying the genuine XP error to all zeros. worked like a charm.. This is the way i had done this myself before looking..heh looks like i should have looked first.
Thank you my friend.
While no fan of M$ software, I have to understand it to help other unfortunate souls, which means tolerating their crap on my machine… Thanx for helping me run my crap…!
Nice Thx For This
nicely done…
