Error trying to install Unity Web Player in IE9
Anytime I try any of the Unity3D.com gallery demos in IE9 (WinVista), I am alerted that I need to setup before I can run.
So when trying to install the Unity Web Player, I receive this "Cannot Start Application" error dialog box: "Application cannot be started. Contact the application vendor."
Two buttons in the dialog box are "OK" and "Details ..."
If I press Details ... I get the following:

(I have already uninstalled Unity and the Unity Web Player, but I continue to get this same error.)
Unity Web Player installs fine and runs the demos fine on Firefox, but not IE9.

Make sure that you have fully uninstalled any previous versions of it and restart your computer. It is erroring because of a previous version already on your system.
I have already uninstalled Unity and the Unity Web Player, but I continue to get this same error. I also deleted any appearances of unity in the Windows registry.
