Dennis,

Try going to MSAS in Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel.
Click the Change button, then put a mark next to Update MSAS, then click
Next. Please let us know if this resolves the issue.

I have the same problem on my W2k computer and MSAS
doesn't appear when i hit the change button or even in the
list of prgrams on my computer.

What to try next?.

John,

Then it did not install properly. Is the latest
Windows Installer 2.0 Redistributable for Windows NT 4.0 and 2000
installed ?
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...f9-2d36-4977-8fa1-6f8a0f5dca8f&DisplayLang=en

Did you download and install it or run the installation while online ?
Try downloading it, saving to disk, closing IE, and then installing it.

I had the same problem of Error 101 when I originally
tried installing to drive K:. But all worked fine when I
installed accepting the default location of C:/Program
Files/...

Needs to be on boot drive perhaps???

My machine has Windows XP installed on Drive E, and Microsoft Antispyware
installed on drive D, FWIW.

I had the same problem on XP Pro.
Go to the directory where you installed the MSPW
(default C:/Program Files/Microsoft AntiSpyware/)
click on gcasDtServ (aka run the program).
It solved my problem. This has been suggested
in another thread on this newsgroup.

gcasDtServ.exe is the Microsoft AntiSpyware Data Service . To run the
program one would run GIANTAntiSpywareMain.exe .

Just speculating here ... perhaps running the Data Service registers
the program in Add/Remove Programs ?
