I have a similar problem. When I click on the desktop icons for either
Cakewalk Pyro Plus or Registry Mechanic, the Windows Installer "preparing..."
dialog box pops up momentarily and then quickly disappears.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the two apps, without any luck.
I've searched the Registry for any relevant Installer entries, without any
luck.
Any help, please?
