RC2 5744 did upgrade (!) of XP can't uninstall WOC 1.0
I had installed Vista in a dual-boot configuration many times but was
anxious to see how a real upgrade would go with RC2 5744 from XP Home. For the most part, it went very well (takes quite a while when you're used to clean install dual-boot testing). One glitch, however, is that I didn't uninstall WOC 1.0 (have a subscription) prior to this upgrade. Vista didn't advise this to be a 'red x' type of problem, I figured I'd remove 1.0 after the upgrade and install the beta. Oops. Attempts to remove 1.0 result in "unknown error" in uninstall 0x2, and that's that. WOC announces that it is quitting shortly after boot, and Security Center reports the Vista firewall is working, and it is, I did some testing. Am I doomed to nuking this massive Vista install and starting from scratch? I'm lazy and would like to get the retail version and install on top of 5744 but since MS is saying this might not be possible, perhaps I should stop right now and get back to a fresh install of XP. Thanks for any help - Bill from KC

I had the same thing; I didn't uninstall it and apparently the new Beta 1.5
of WLOC won't install because of it; have you tried installing the WLOC 1.5 beta? "none" wrote in message ...
