This information appears incorrect. I found the key under HKLM, not HKCU. Is this correct? The fix did not work for me. Trying to uninstall IE9 next. Firefox is better anyway!
I WAS having issues installing Netflix in Windows Media Center. Here is how I fixed it.
First of all I am running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and I belong to my own domain here at home with a roaming profile. (Don't ask why). I had to re install Microsoft Silver-light and delete my old roaming profile and start with a new one. After that i stopped getting the 'There was a problem during installation. Please try again later'.
If you don't belong to a Domain and you\or have a local profile (you will have a local profile if you don't belong to a domain) then you will need to remove that profile before it will work. Simply delete your username in the C:\Users\<your username here> and re create your profile.
If you do belong to a domain like in my case, I deleted my roaming profile on my server and allowed a new one to be created. I also deleted my username from Active Directory and created a new one with the same name with the same location of my old roaming profile. Obviously the new profile was empty and I had to redo all of my settings and library's. Was kind of a pain in the neck but it worked and I can now watch Netflix from Windows Media Center. I no longer get the 'There was a problem during installation. Please try again later'.
I just went into IE9 and deleted my temporary internet files and everything worked fine.
