The problem was in fact the windows installer. For some reason it didn't
know where the original install for the remote was, so would not update it;
or allow me to uninstall it. I use win98se which comes with windows
installer version 1.1. I remember installing a program that wanted windows
installer v2.0, which I installed. That's probably the root of the problem,
trying to update programs with win installer 2.0 that were installed with
win installer 1.1.
Anyway, I located and deleted the remotes installer (ATI Remote Wonder
1.2.msi) and ripped out all references to the remote wonder installation in
the registry under these keys for the installer:
HKEY_USERS\DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Installer
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Installer
I didn't find the ATI Remote Wonder 1.2.msi file until after I ripped
everything out of the registry. So perhaps all you have to do is delete
this file and leave the registry alone. Try deleting (or moving) this file
before you touch the registry, it just may work.
