RE: installation for WMP10

Hi Mike
I noticed this help was for WMP11 - but I tried it anyway.
Still no luck
I hope we can get this fixed. I appreciate all your help.
Thanks

Okay, from the error 80070005 we have these instructions on Zach's website:

=========================================
If your wmsetup.log contains error "0x80070005": This is "Error: Access
Denied."

That means that the registry permissions on HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMPlayer.OCX
or HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMPlayer.OCX.7 are probably set wrong.

I believe this is due to overzealous 3rd party anti-malware programs. You
can fix this by deleting or renaming those registry keys.

The WMP11 installer should be able to handle this without you having to
worry about it. If it cannot, then you would need to look at the bottom of
c:\windows\updspapi.log .

That should tell you what registry key modification resulted in "Access is
denied".

You would need then to give access to that registry key... or at least
rename it for the duration of WMP's install. Look for "Error 5" in the
updspapi.log.

Thank you Mike for the reply, I followed the steps, and Yes I am running
administrator.
But the Player still will not install. I got the same error again. I hope
there is a way to get this installed.

Are you running as an administrator level account?

If you are, can you please go to this website:

http://www.zachd.com/pss/pss.html

And then do a search (Cntl -F) for this string:

"How do I trouble-shoot a v10 or earlier player install error?"

Please don't include the quotes. This will provide you enough information
to provide us with the information needed to troubleshoot your issue.

After re running media player more than once. The same error is displayed
each time.
