ATI customer service told me to close down all other programs, which did not help in the least. The installation program hunts and checks drive A just before halting and giving the error notice. Have you solved the problem yet? Any further advice would be appreciated. Mel Silver On Friday, October 11, 2002 at 3:41 pm, Dave Hurry wrote: >I am currently having the same trouble.

Did anyone find a solution? Thanks in advance. On Wednesday, October 30, 2002 at 11:06 am, Mel Silver wrote: >Dear Dave, > >I am having the same error 1612 problem with my Remote Wonder install.

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.

I ended up removing all the installer references from the old install from the registry and this solved the problem, and then I reinstalled the program and it works fine now. It was quite the "catch 22". On Sunday, March 16, 2003 at 9:06 am, Eric wrote: >The problem was in fact the windows installer.
