UNABLE TO UNINSTALL OLD BETA

[Tom C.]

Situation: On July 31st I inadvertently blocked a
necessary directory via MS-SPYWARE; this was discovered on
Aug 1st.

Now when I try to uninstall the old BETA, I get a 1606
error message saying access to this directory is required
to uninstall.

As the software expired on the 31st, how can I remedy the
situation to install the latest BETA ??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Tom C.

Re-install access........or if you don't know how to do that.......run a
search and delete all files and folders related to MSAS. Then do a reg clean
using a good registry cleaner. Then delete all related DLLs. Then run a reg
finder and clean all that's left that's related to MSAS from the registry.
Then install the latest build.

I just installed the new version over the old version.

Hi

For some users this is working but for others not.

It is no meaning to defend this "junkyard" within Registry and
all temporarily files. A standard volume for a standard PC
is 500 > 1 GB of junk nowadays.

It MUST be cleaned out, and MS have nothing so test CCleaner yourself
and see ! www.ccleaner.com

I can also see in IE7 that MS changed the biggest challenge, IEs cache
to a smaller number. But the stupid file index.dat remains ;(

MVPs can also recommend 3rd party tools !

It "cleans" things I don't want cleaned and I don't trust any program to
clean the Registry.

Well, thats sad ! :')

Every user I know says "Yiipie !" after a CCleaner removal.

"My PC is like it was when it was new!", but we live in a free world !

I don't want my history, cookies or AutoComplete "cleaned" and I don't want
any program "cleaning" my Registry.

Well, I uncheck what I want to be left.

And about registry it is amazing how much junk you can find.
I always runs it with a backup if something goes wrong.
And CCleaner is conservative and only a basic cleaner for registry
but thats enough for me.
