Soon-to-be-FAQ: Does WMP 10 work on your Windows 2003 machine?

No.

I'd be interested in knowing what feature was added that is preventing me from upgrading from WMP 9, which works just fine on Win2k3, thankyouverymuch.

Same problem here. It goes through the motions of starting to install and then it ends up launching WMP 9. Apparently doesn't like 2k3 at all.

But that's OK because it doesn't know what system I'm running anyway.

I wonder if it's related to DirectX. Perhaps the new UI relies on DX, which by default (IIRC) isn't installed on Server 2003.
