Windows Installer Errors?
Date: 03/13/09 (Computer Help) Keywords: no keywords
For the last little while, I've been having issues installing programs. I've been battling a few nasty variants of the Brontok worm and I think I got it/them (at least I'm fairly confident I killed them all) and I think I'm either still dealing with the aftermath or this or I somewhere messed up my registry. I'm running Windows XP Service Pack 3 and do I have all the CD-ROMS which came with my Dell laptop purchase last summer, if it helps any.
On start up, I get this window all the time, for starters. Have had it for a while, thought it'd go away once I got rid of Brontok.
Then, whenever I try to install a program, this or a similar installation error windows pop up.
Recently, I downloaded a trial version of TuneUp Utilities 2009, which could definitely be playing around with the registry (if that's really my problem), but this stuff started before I installed the program. I should add that a few programs do install but most of them don't.
Anyone know if Brontok could do this at all or if I'm completely wrong?
