Windows Media Player 10 won't install...

I recently encountered a problem which made my wmp10 stop functioning properly.
I uninstalled, went to the website and got install file, saved to desktop.
When I attempt to install, I get almost through the install, then it stops,
with the following message:
It was not possible to complete Setup
Windows Media Player 10 was not installed. To update Windows, run Windows
Media Player 10 Setup again.

After numerous reboots, and re-try attempts, the same result occurs. I want
my wmp10 back.
Thank you for any and all assistance.
