Windows Media Player 10

I'm running Windows XP, SP1 on a Dell OptiPlex 170L...1GB Ram on 75GB HD...I
uninstalled my Windows Media Player 9 and installed Windows Media Player 10.
It stops mid-way through the install and this window message pops up: "Error
creating process <C:\DOCUME~1\athompson\Local
Settings\Temp\IXP001.TMP\setup_wm.exe
/P:\\itserver\downloads\Microsoft\Windows Media Player\Version
10\MP10Setup.exe>. Reason: C:\WINDOWS\System32\advpack.dll" Itserver is our
inhouse server we're downloading the file from. I've downloaded the WMP10
installer from the web and directly onto my desktop as well. But running the
install directly from my desktop produces the same error message but the
target is my desktop. I've restarted repeatedly as well as ran Windows
Updates to help the install but to no avail. What can I do that will install
this Media Player? I prefer WMP over RealPlayer or QuickTime.

WMP10 must be installed overtop of your older version, it is designed
that way. DO NOT uninstall WMP9, for there are files in the Registry
that are needed to install version 10, that's why you are experiencing
the problems. If you can, reinstall version 9, make sure it works, and
then install version 10 overtop of it.

Doubleclick the My Computer icon on your desktop. Rightclick your
CD-Rom drive and click Properties. Now click the AutoPlay tab, and
that's where you make you selection and settings. When finished
click Apply and OK.
