Trying to update windows media player?

I have been trying to up date my windows media player to version 9 I saw you answer on how to update to version 7. I tried that with 9 but it did not give me the choice to uninstall the CD burner like on 7. Can this be done?

The next time that Windows Media Player tries to play Windows Media Video 9 content, it will download the new Windows Media Video 9 codec.
