I am receiving this error message in Windows 98SE:
"The Windows Installer failed to install the program associated with this
file. Please contact your system administrator."
I recently installed LaunchKaos (http://www.pocketkaos.com/lkspecs.htm). One
of the known "bugs" with the program, as stated here
(http://www.pocketkaos.com/lksupport.htm), is that the windows installer may
get corrupted. They posted a solution to this problem, by downloading the
Windows Installer Cleanup Utility for Win9x, ME
(http://www.pocketkaos.com/files/9x-msicu.exe). However, I am not having any
success in getting it to run.
When I double-click on it, the cursor turns to an hourglass, then it returns
to a normal cursor - as if the program tried to run then was "stopped".
Something similar happens when I try to uninstall any of the microsoft
office programs. I've also tried re-installing Office 2000, but when I
insert the CD, the autoplay sound comes on, but the menu never appears.
I'd like to solve this problem without having to do a clean install...
TIA!
