I had trouble installing WMC 10 on my Windows XP system. Reading through the forums this seems like a common issue. I never tried the "Clean Install" as my system hard drive was formatted in the last 36hrs and I was on my way to rebuilding things. I figured my computer was as clean as I was going to get it. Anyway, I tried the unistall Direct X 9 as mentioned on this board, I turned off McAffee...all to no avail.
In the end, as suggested by another person on this board, I logged out and logged into my kids Login and tried installing from there. It worked?! I have EMC10 installed now.
So log out, and try creating/logging in under another account and maybe it will work. I hope it's that easy for all of you.
