Windows Installer failure??

[johnm]

Running XP SP2:

I installed Streets and Trips 2005 a month or so ago without incident (full
install).
The program ran and performed well, that is until today.

Now, for whatever reason, everytime I try to launch it, it comes up with a
dialog that says:

"The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disk
that is not available.
Insert the 'Microsoft Streets and Trips 2005' disk and click OK."

Once I do this, I see another dialog that looks as though it's installing
the program, it says:
"Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Streets and Trips." A few
progress bars come and go, and the program will eventually load.

Once I go through all this, the program seems to run fine, but what's up
with this?
Didn't the original installation take?

I uninstalled and reinstalled the program twice to no avail.
Also, I downloaded and ran the MS Windows Installer Cleanup Utility.
No good....

Ideas?

Did you remove it using Add/Remove Programs before reinstalling it?

Have you recently installed SP2?
I have read of problems with Streets and Trips after the service pack 2
install.

 

[johnm]

yes, SP2 is installed, which is right around the time the problem started
