windows media player 9 series installation.

[Guest]

whenever i try to install windows media player 9 series on
my system it goes through the installation, then at the
very end it tells me it was impossible to finish
installation.
no error code - just says it couldnt finish and to try
again.
everytime i try i get the exact same results. it has
absolutley screwed me in the video category, because i
cant properly install any codecs until this is resolved.

i thought it might be a codec issue, so i uninstalled
every codec i had installed - but it still does it.

so now i have 0 video programs or codecs and i cant
install any because i cant get this WMP 9 thing fixed.

i dont want to do anything drastic like wiping out my HD
to re-install xp to fix this - i have way too much stuff
for that.

any ideas? suggestions?
