Windows Media Player 9 Won't Install

I just updated from Windows 98 to Windows 98 SE. I specifically did it in order to be able to buy downloadable music online. Some of the sites require Media Player series 9, which requires at least 98 SE. I downloaded the version for use with Windows 98 SE. When I try to install it, the files extract fine and then I get the screen where you have to accept the license agreement. I accept it and it looks like it is going to install and then one of two things happens. I either get a little error window that says an internal application error occured and then the install process stops. Or, after I accept the license agreement, the old Windows Media Player 7.1 opens up.

I wouldn't think I have to uninstall 7.1 first, do I? Please, any help is appreciated. Also when I did the SE upgrade there were many files that I had to "Skip" during installation. The computer seems to boot up ok and applications seem to work ok.

Where are you getting Windows Media Player 9 to install? Get it from he

Version 10 is only for XP. I have Windows 98SE. There is a version 9
series that is supposed to work with that OS.

I use that version too and it works fine.
Be sure to turn of your antivirus and whatever else when you install it.
