    Dear all,

    I have a trouble on my CRM 4.0 which is partly installed on my SBS2003 R2 server.
    I was running the installation process of the CRM 4.0, to uninstall my CRM in order to re install it properly.
    What as happen is that during that time tehre as a windows update occuring in teh background and stop my uninstall during it process informing that an installer is already running. Then my CRM get aborted badly, I mean non rollbaclk occurs.

    Now du to that I am not able to either install or unintall or repare my installation becasue during the previous phase it has already clean som directory and path refernce which installtion needs, but coould not find them anymore...

    I am in a deep mess caus I have nw a partial install that cannot eent remove or repair.Even after restarting my server.

    how can clean manually entries in order that I could reinstall it properly ?

    thnaks for help

    Hi Serge,

    I once had this happen to me and while it wasn't too hard clearing out the program files and reg keys, the install still would not run. The trick were a bunch of temporary install files, from memory, off the c-drive's root path. Once these are deleted, the install program runs again.

    Maybe to a search on all files on the drive by create date and this might reveal the ones I'm talking about.

    It should be obvious from the path. They're in a temp directory or an 'install files' directory, something like this.
