Windows Media PLayer 11 DRM Migrate EXE Errror (FIXED!)

[Briguy]

I'm trying to install windows media player 11 on an xp home machine sp3. And in the installation I get a "DRM Migrate EXE has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

What do I do?

I have done all of these and it still won't work. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/webhelp/default.aspx?ID=C00D2751&originalid=xxxxxxxx&mpver=11.0.0.0000


When you go to the microsoft website for Security component upgrade the upgrade button does not allow you to click on it.  And I don't find IndivBox.key, I don't know if that's for windows ME, I have xp home.

Maybe this will fix it?

Does anyone else have any suggestions other then the ones I proposed?

Fixed it! 

 I had to remove the drm folder and delete the registry keys associated with it and then uninstall windows media player. And then reinstall the media player and update the video card driver. Works great no errors!
