Hi all,
I wonder if anyone has installed the windows media player installer for 
OSX.
I have acquired the SIT from 2 sources (APC Magazine, and Microsoft 
website) and the installer always fails with a numeric code saying it 
could not find a file.

This is similar to a problem I had with the ICQ Installer, and in that 
case I found out that if I installed onto an HFS+ filesystem the 
installer completed successfully, but it would not install on my UFS 
root FS.

This trick however doesn't seem to work with the Windows Media 
installer. I am guessing that it tries to install at least some files 
into the /System directory which in my case is UFS.

I don't understand why the host FS should make a difference (Pretty bad 
programming of the installer if it does).

If anyone has had similar experiences, I would find it reassuring (even 
if disappointing) to find out.
