Progress Installation

[millint]

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to Progress and know nothing about it, but here is my problem. I was installing Progress 9.1 and at 99% installation - the system froze. So, I rebooted and tried reinstalling. I got a message stating Progress was already installed and that I would need to uninstall it before I tried installing it again. When I go to Add/Remove Programs to uninstall Progress I get another message that says that it cannot uninstall because it cannot find Progress to uninstall. When I go to the C: drive I see nothing to do with Progress. Yet, when I run a vendor program that runs on Progress - it runs, but with some reports having issues.

I'm told that Progress CAN be tricky to install if you run into install errors. How can I fix this? System is a PIII 256 MB running on Windows 98 Second Edition (up to date on service packs), and Office 97 2nd Edition.

Thanks!

I would try uninstalling by doing a registry hack and reinstall it. Just look for any keys labeled Progress 9.1. Also delete the dlc directory and it's sub directories. Hope this helps.

Thanks kosj, I'll give it a try.

Thanks kosj, the registry hack worked on my issue as well. I had low disk space on the C drive and the installation failed. I could not reinstall until I did the registry hack.


Thanks.
