Windows Media Players 9Series

AAH,

WMP9 does not provide any mechanism to remove it which is why it will only
install after checking that the system restore 290700 patch for system
restore is present and correct. Using system restore or a backup image
are the only supported mechanisms for removing WMP9. Using Google you
will however find a couple of "hack" methods for removing WMP9. If
reinstalling Win Me over itself all that is necessary is to first
delete/rename the file wmploc.dll.
