Installation Problem Dana B. 03.08.2006 01:21:01 I recently had to change hard drives due to a h/w failure. I installed Windows XP, and Office 2003. I am an administrator on the machine. Office seems to be working fine. But tonight I tried to install Publisher Wizard, and going to the Add / Remove and Installing new feature I get an error. It starts to install, then rollsback, and gives an error: Installation ended prematurly. Unable to install due to a fatal error. I also notice last week I couldn't install Adobe Reader, but I initially thought it was just that app. What could be the cause?

Re: Installation Problem Dana B. 07.08.2006 19:21:01 Resolved -- we found a "Rollback" registry key related to .net framework that once deleted, allowed everything to work just fine. Looks like a failed app installation left it behind. "JoAnn Paules [MVP]" wrote: [Quoted Text] > What was the exact error message?
