I have an up-to-date XP machine.
I have been using Windows Media Player 9 for years with no problem.
I downloaded the WM Player 10 setup several times. At the end of the
attempted installation the message says.

Cannot complete Windows Media Player Setup
It was not possible to complete the Setup
Windows Media Player 10 was not installed.
To update Windows, run Windows Media Player 10 Setup again.

I tried over 5 times with the same message repeated again and again.

Thanks for your feedback

AK

In the file %windir%\wmsetup.log , what lines contain "ERROR: "?

Dear zachd,
You certainly have a great cite about WMP. http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html

I uploaded my %windir%\wmsetup.log and I will appreciate if you can look at
last ones.
http://dream.212917.com/Test/wmPlayerLog.htm

I have been attempting to update the player for quite a while without grat
success.
I searched and cannot find an usable wmplayer.exe When I click on my wmv
files are working fine through a player 10.

It is weard. I dont' get it. I dont have a clickable player at all.
Thanks for your suggestions
AK

WMP's working fine on your system. Run wmplayer.exe and you're good to go.

You were unable to create the directory:
c:\documents and settings\all users\Documents\My Music\Sample Playlists
and
c:\documents and settings\all users\Documents\My Music\Sync Playlists
and thus are going to not have the autoplaylists available. This should be
due to a permissions issue on your system. This is a machine configuration
issue (error) with your system that I know we're tracking for v.next.

You can either fix this security/permissions issue on your system and
reinstall setup and it should work, or you can run wmplayer.exe and be good
to go.

If you end up not being able to fix your system, save my email address (
zachd at microsoft dot com ). I'll be tweaking the installer for WMP v.next
to both attempt to fix cases like yours as well as to not report install
failure if only the playlist component fails install. HOWEVER, if you still
have problems installing with v.next: make sure to yell at me. =)

Cheers,
-Zach
