I've been trying to install Windows Media Player 9 on my machine running 10.3 and the installer just sits there during the "Searching" process and never goes anywhere. I've let it go as long as 10 minutes and it always requires a force quit. Anyone else have the same issue and maybe a fix for it?

It took over an hour for me to do the "searching", but it eventually worked. Be more patient.

Try disconnecting all but your boot volume; it could be taking a long time to work its way through external HDs and/or network volumes.
