Error 101

[smurphy00]

I seem to keep getting an error 101 message. I have to
remove and re-download several times before installation
completes correctly. The error notice continues to pop up
at random from time to time. Any ideas?

I am also getting the same error. After months of no
problems. This is totally annoying.
What is the solution? Hello Microsoft????
