Hi all,
I wonder (and hope!) someone will be able to tell me how to get past this error.

A few days ago i was trying a few CAs to get my application to launch whenever the installation was finished. (it was a  CA that launches the application, installed with the product and then a commit execution and i also tried a deferred execution.)

I placed the CA in the seqence after Installfinalize, and the one with the deferred execution gave me a nasty error.

Now i have a real problem as no matter what I do, I cant get any installation to go on or off cleanly.
I tried a RegClean, I tried deleting all the components manually, I tried installing over it, everything i could think of.
However whenever i put a new installation on top, it gives me the same error 2743 CA_Name, even though that CAis not in that  installation at all.

Is an installation stored somewhere that it trys to execute a CA from another installation?

Does anyone have any idea how i would get around this  - i do not want to reinstall the Operating System as our techie guy will kill me !!!
anybody any ideas???
Thanks
Berni

You could try using MsiZap to clean out all windows installer references to your project.  It is a tool written by Microsoft.

For Windows 95/98/Me go to:
