I dont want to give it up...

Hi again,

although it seems that I am nearly alone with my problem I would like to keep the discussion open & propose to create something like a "clean-up tool" that really removes everything that has to do with MP.

I uninstalled & reinstalled EVERYTHING again, but could again reproduce the failure that "moving" between MP 0.1.3 & MP 0.2.0 something happens that corrupts the installer information with the result of "error code 2908". This even has an effect on .NET itself, i. e. .NET update installation returned the same code 2908 when trying to install. I also used programs like regcleaner, reg. mechanic, several Microsoft SDK tools without real success...

Digging a bit deeper in the .NET installation & structure shows that this failure usually happens when a previous installation using Windows Installer failed. But I did not get a failure notice on the first install - only when trying to up-/downgrade. Whatever, bz clicking "OK" around 300 times when the installation failure message occurs, the install stops with a "exceptional failure". Then the icons are not linked onto the desktop but - funny - MP is installed and even seems to work OK when starting directly out of the installation folder.

So: After some trying the program works, but the installation seems still to be corrupt. And I don't know yet what will happen when the next release comes & I try to install it. I hope I don't have to again spend hours to get it work somehow...

Any hint or tool that cleans up the registry & delete all files & folders is really appreciated!!! (I would do it myself but skill & time dont allow it).
A merry christmas to all of you!!!!
