Yes... the problem exists I had no trials installed at the time.
But this same problem occurs even without trials...
I have encountered it on another computer also with no trials.
This does not happen always on the first install...
It may happen when you try to repair an install.. it keeps asking for the
installation cd... but in fact its asking to find the location of the files
you first installed it from...
I tried moving the installer files to various locations trying to remember
where I had installed from.. and after some time I got it..
however this trial and error process took time because you have to engage in
the install for it to fail so you can see that the location is wrong....
Basically its as crappy as vista is... how could such big errors slip
through to a final product?
Yeah I know as an MVP you worship vista..... the mvps that dislike vista
are not talking publicly.
Good for them to hide..... but I am not an MVP (thank god) and I can tell
people how crappy vista is all day.
