Windows 7 - "The wizard was interrupted before [application] could be completely installed"
HiI'm running the 90 day trial of the Enterprise version of Windows 7. So far I've updated the graphics and sound card drivers, run Windows Update and downloaded a couple of updates and installed Flash player.I just tried to install iTunes, and after installing as normal, a dialog pops up at the end with the aforementioned error message, and it also says thatinstallation could not be completed. I've had the same thing happen with a game demo too.I've dug about online a bit, and two possible fixes are:- Make sure you're an Administrator- Download, install and use the Windows Installer Clean Up program: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/290301I've made sure I'm an Administrator and I've used the Clean Up program to clear installations that were not resolved.Any other suggestions? I'd like to regain the ability to install apps very much - other than this Windows 7 is running very nicely and I can't wait to start doing some coding, once I'm sure all is stable and well.My specs: 80GB Hard Drive, 2.4GHz Pentium 4, 1 GB RAM.
