Re: windows media player setup

I can't wait to see a solution to this problem. I had the same problem
and tried everything to fix it. I deleted all my backed up licenses, I
uninstalled version 9 completely after finding some hints online, I
deleted anything I could think of that were associated with licenses
and drm (digital rights management) and nothing. I was forced to
backup my data, reformat my system, install Windows XP Professional
from scratch and then install Windows Media Player 10. Everything now
works. I would really like to see though a different solution to this
problem. I think you would have to be real smart to find a solution.
This is a VERY FRUSTRATING problem. I pity anyone who has it. If
anyone would like more info about this problem in order to maybe
attempt to offer a solution, go ahead and post your questions here.
The main problems are that it prevented me from upgrading to Windows
Media Player 10, from repairing Windows Media Player, since my version
9 got messed up, and from playing any kind of content (when I was able
to get Media Player truly installed by right clicking on the .wmp10.inf
file and selecting install, because by running the setup file it would
not install, even though part of the contradictory statement says that
it was installed--"Cannot complete windows media player 10 setup. It
was not possible to complete setup. Windows media player was installed
successfully.") that required a license because instead of asking to
download the license and presenting me with a window for me to enter my
username and password, I would instead get an unexpected error has
occured message.
