Re: can't install or delete some programs icoczar 6/14/2007 10:08:00 PM I have tried it both ways, but still no luck. I have 2 PCs so I know the apps run under Vista. But on this PC it looks like anything that uses the Windows Installer has the problem. Examples are google toolbar and VLC media player. Any ideas?

Re: can't install or delete some programs "Rick Rogers" <rick[ at ]mvps.org> 6/15/2007 10:25:19 AM Hi, Adobe's product is one that can cause issues if one tries to install/uninstall without UAC running, so may be the source of your problems.
