Click Start, click Run, type'MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER' without quotes, and then click OK. Even if you do this correctly, it may look like nothing occurs, or you may briefly see an hourglass.b. Click Start, click Run, type'MSIEXEC /REGSERVER' without quotes, and then click OK. After you run this command, the operation is complete.c.
