oioldman Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Have you upgraded to the latest WindowsInstaller, which I think is v3.1If not try that in case your installer files are corrupt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregv1506 Posted August 15, 2005 Author Share Posted August 15, 2005 Yes I am using version 2.0. It starts, and then it hangs. I tried to re-install it, but it says "The specified service already exists"...How can I uninstall this..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oioldman Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 sorry not sure how to un-install unless it's listed in add/remove prgrams.can only think to stop service and try to re-install on top so it will replace corrupt files and reg keys, which is could be problem, though with yourself having tried that, i'm not sure.http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=enis the link to download.
