I had posted my query because I had a similar experience -- even worse, though -- upon installing Mathematica Player on a Windows 32-bit system where Mathematica 5.2 was already installed, but not 6.0: Not only did Mathematica Player itself immediately exit with an Assertion error, but the same thing happened then with Mathematica 5.2. From the Assertion error message in Mathematica 5.2, it was pretty clear to me that this was an issue involving fonts (the message included "winFonts"). Moreover, that machine uses Adobe Type Manager Deluxe for managing fonts. I had had the same issue when installing earlier versions of Mathematica, but this had been fixed as of Mathematica 5.2 (or maybe a bit earlier); evidently it persists in Mathematica Player. With Tech Support's help, I did the fix that I had used on previous occasions with those earlier versions of Mathematica: deleted all the Mathematica fonts, rebooted, and then copied the fonts into the Windows Fonts folder from the SystemFiles\Fonts\TrueType of Mathematica Player.
