SOL/SOL PRO: Error: Missing Windows Media Pack/Media Player

If you do not have the Windows Media Feature Pack installed, the SOL or SOL PRO software will not be able to install or run. You will have to install the Media Feature Package before you try to reinstall or run the SOL or SOL PRO software.

The Media Feature Pack can be missing from your system if you uninstalled it or uninstalled the Windows Media Player, or if you are running the special N or KN versions of Windows that do not feature the Windows Media Player / Feature pack by default. In both cases, you will have to install the Media Feature Pack in the same manor.

The Media Feature Pack is needed on the system to access the RGB camera in the SOL or SOL PRO scanner.
