Question about Windows media player

[Corey07]

I have a Mac OSX, yet when I try to download the most recent version of Windows Media Player for Mac, which is Windows Media Player 9, it downloads on my desktop and then asks me what program I want ot use to open it. The Installation windows do not appear, and its not in a Zip file or anything like that its already extracted. Why can't I install a program for my Mac?

Try VLC, it can open all windows media player files, and more. Try it.

I have VLC, I really don't want Windows Media Player I just don't understand why I can't install some software thats for Mac. I have had problems installing other programs that were for the Mac. Everytime it downloads, it asks what program I want to open for the installation. Its like it doesn't recognize the program. Windows Media player was just a recent example that didn't work.
