You want to use Flip4Mac for Quicktime for Windows Media, also Perian is well worth a download.
It is probably also worth getting VLC as well.
(Google them and the first link should be relevant).

The Microsoft version of Windows Media Player for Mac gave way to Flip4Mac a while back. Flip4Mac is the "official" WMV player for OS X now.
Just hasn't been updated in a long time, I suppose? Who knows. I would say it's an oversight, however. If there's a place to report that sort of thing, I recommend you do that.
Who knows. Just forget about Windows Media Player. It is really old, PowerPC-only, and evil.
Download Flip4Mac and Perian.
Are you still trying to download that .bin file? Use Flip4Mac. It's a .dmg that'll open no problem.
Microsoft is no longer directly supporting WMP for Mac. If you go directly to Microsoft and look for windows media player, it links to Flip4Mac.
We all just told you; don't download Windows Media for Mac. It is not meant for Intel Macs. It also is so old, it probably wouldn't play whatever it is you're trying to play anyway.
Visit Microsoft's official site about it. It will reveal all.

Dude, stop trying to download Windows Media Player. We all answered your question. You do not want Windows Media Player for Mac.
Go to Microsoft's official Mac Windows Media site here: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/otherproducts/otherproducts.aspx?pid=windowsmedia
Windows Media Player for Mac has been discontinued. It is not Intel native, very old, and has officially been replaced by Flip4Mac as per Microsoft's web page.

No, that's WMP for Windows.
If you really don't want to go directly to the Flip4Mac page, take a look at this page:

You can download Flip4Mac there.
It's outdated. Noboy changed it.
Because in the olden days there was a Windows Media Player for Mac. Those days are long gone. So go get Flip4Mac.
Legacy? Just haven't cleaned it up yet? Could be a million reasons - just download Flip4Mac, enjoy your WMV files, and don't worry about it
<deep breath ... ok, relax>
That's WMP 9. Microsoft stopped development of WMP for the Mac after version 9.
