Removing failed Install artifacts

[BobAchgill]

I had a setup install fail on me for some reason which is
not clear. I had to kill the install because it got
stuck... I killed it using Windows Task Manager.

So now I can not make another setup install file that
will run because the system thinks there is already a
install in process.

How can I clean out the artifacts of the previously
failed install from my computer?

I tried to work around the blockade by making a wholly
new set up project with a different msi name but i could
not fool the Windows program install system. He still
thinks I am trying to install the same program... which I
am!

Thanks!

Bob
