I must have missed the other posts regarding this. Luckily I installed the WMP9 tonight and was able to remove it with the system restore. Wasn't much of a headache since I removed it right away. However anyone who has had it installed for a while is looking at a big mess. 
I'm off to bed now. I've sent out a few emails trying to find a solution to this. I'll post any info I find out in the morning
