Windows Media Player is not properly installed and must be reinstalled

My daughter is trying to play an audio CD for her science course. We are getting this message:

The file wmploc.dll has a version 1100.6000.6349 where 11.0.6000.6344 was expected. Windows media player is not properly installed and must be reinstalled. Do you want to reinstall from Microsoft website?

So, I said yes. I went through the whole thing and at the end it says something like, you can install an older version of Windows media player.

I have no clue how to fix this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
