I have never been able to get Windows Media Player to play MP4 files. Ever. No matter what I tried. So I stopped trying.
VLC Media Player is a free and open-source media player that plays just about every format known to humankind, including MP4 files. I use it (almost) exclusively.

Nothing happens? You mean VLC won't run?

Yah. . .
after very very very quick installation, nothing happened. No desktop icon, no start menu item, no program ran. . .
Is it possible that I got the wrong link?

I got where i committed the error. I got the correct link but my means of installation is improper. installing it using the Administrator Account is necessary. How silly am I to overlook it.
Thanks for the help everyone. . .
