Unable to Install
« on: March 23, 2004, 05:27:18 pm »

 have a fairly complicated problem to deal with.  I had Media Center version 9.1.  After I had a computer hard disk problem and had to reinstall.  I downloaded the program  again, but when I tried to install it, it just quits and won't install.  I updated the registration codes with Media Center, but even using that I can't get the program to install.  I want to purchase version 10 Beta, but that has to be done from the program which I can't install.  I even tried version 7.2, which I was able to install, but it didn't work right.  So I uninstalled it.  

I love the program and want to purchase, download, and install it, but I can't do it.  I wonder if there is a way to manually uninstall the previous trial and paid versions, and maybe that will help.  I would appreciate any help you can give me, because I don't want to give up.  It has taken about the last two days of my time trying to find a way to purchase version 10.

I am using a Dell Pentium 4 computer.

Go to add remove in windows, and uninstall them from there.

you can also make sure the "program files\J River\ folder is gone.

I have done this.  I also did a search and deleted everything that said media jukebox or media center.  Then I ran my window washer to clean out everything that was deleted, including the temp files.  I then downloaded media center 9.1, but when I tried to install it, it still wouldn't install.  The cursor goes across saying it is preparing to install and then just quits. :'( :'(

Try cleaning out your temp files.  Run IE and do Tools/Internet Options/Temporary Internet Files/Delete Files.  It can take several minutes.

I have tried every suggestion received to no avail.  However, I was looking on my Go Back program, where it showed those files being created somewhere.  However, because of the abbreviations used I couldn't find out just where.  It did say to a temp file somewhere that I can't find.  Any suggestions?  I wish I could get a trial version again just for an hour or so, so that I could purchase the Beta Ver10.  I know that that can not be done - just wishful thinking.  I appreciate the help that I'm getting.  Maybe something will work eventually.
