Do you know why it went?

I believe it's classed as an OS component, so the installation procedure is a little different from a regular program (just a Windows quirk, not something you'd find in a sane OS).

On XP, in the "add/remove programs" window look for "Add/remove Windows Components" on the left hand side. Click on that, scroll down and tick the box labelled "windows media player", click next and follow through the dialogues.
