I recently upgraded my Windows XP Pro machine's Media
Player to vs10. I also installed another software program
because I could not get Media Player to play an AVI file.
The program I tried did not work either, so I removed it I
then tried Player again and it would not work at all. I
tried to do a Windows Update again and it looked like it
is going to finish the install, but I get an error
message. Windows Media Player is incompatible with this
version for more details view this web page.
http:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkID=28004. When I try
this link I get an error no matching entry. After I close
all the dialog boxes it says the update was successful.
However it is not done an install.

I even downloaded version 10 and tried to just do a
straight install and it does the same thing. It is
incompaitible with this version. I tried going to Control
Panel where you can add windows components. I tried this
from the Control Panel, this did not work it is grayed out
showing 0 Bytes. I also tried putting the Windows
installation CD. It shows 0 bytes where should show the
size.

Since I could not get any version of Media player to
install, I tried a System restore to date when everything
worked. This did not work either. Is there anything I
can do to install older version of Media Player? If I can
get so version of media player working I can then upgrade.
