Re: AS 4.5 Error When Reinstalling

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Worked - thanks much for the info. I ended up just modifying the registry
and changing the reference from setup[1].msi to setup.msi.

That is an MSI problem and I also had that. Somehow the registry got
screwed up. I don't exactly remember how I resolved this but I can see 2
solutions:
1.) use regedit to search registry and fix string to point to
...\setup.msi. You should find it under key "PackageName" in
HKCR\Installer\Products\xxxxxxxxxx\SourceList and
HKLM\Software\Classes\Installer\Products\xxxxxxxx\SourceList
("xxxxxxxxxxx" is variable)
2.) rename file setup.msi to setup[1].msi (but I don't think that is such
a good idea)

Obviously, it's a good idea to backup your registry or at least the
relevant branches !

I am trying to do a repair (reinstall) of Activesync 4.5 on my windows xp
sp2 machine. I constantly get an error:

"A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file
C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\setup[1].msi"

The setup file is not even right as the file I downloaded is setup.msi,
without the [1] in the file name. Any ideas??
