Rhapsody installation freezes at 99%?

I tried to install Rhapsody, but it stopped. When I looked, it said it was 99% complete. Why?

The Rhapsody installation may freeze at 99% and never complete the installation. This can occur if Rhapsody access to the Internet is blocked, or there is a problem installing the Digital Rights Management (DRM) components.

To resolve, try the following solutions, attempting the installation again after each one. You don't have to do all of these! If the first doesn't work, try the next, until you find your solution.

Solution 1: Reset your Internet Explorer settings and configure your firewall to allow Rhapsody Internet access.

Follow the steps in Trouble installing, signing in, or connecting? Check this software, then try installing Rhapsody again.
