MS has an MSI cleanup tool. I'd get that and see if you can figure out what app may be causing it. Also may want to D/L the newest windows installer executable and try and install it on the servers. ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Berny Stapleton Sent: Thursday, December 22, 2005 11:09 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: installer stopping/starting The installer also runs for the configuration of HKEY_CURRENT_USER (if my memory serves me correctly) for first run as well.

So this may be a symptom. Used to see that all the time with Office 95/2000/XP - but haven't really seen it on 2003 (but maybe I'm lucky). tim ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jeff Pitsch Sent: Thursday, December 22, 2005 10:24 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] installer stopping/starting Ok, maybe this is the cause of all my problems BUT the Installer service is constantly starting and stopping on certain servers. Installer was sent a start control and then a bit later shuts down. Anyone else think this is the cause of my problems????????
