Re: DCOM Process Launcher hung

If you do a google search on daemon tools you'll find some information.

It doesn't uninstall completely or cleanly, you'll need to search out some
files and manually delete them.

Hi,

Uninstall of Daemon Tools fails with the error:

"Setup is unable to validate installation"

I can't find any other way to uninstall or deactivate it.

I will check with Microsoft.Public.WindowsXP newsgroup for the XP PS2
problem.

Thanks for your help.

| Hi,
|
| (Maybe this update is a duplicate, my previous attempt doesn't seem to
be
| accepted.)
|
| I have tried to start the services manually:
| - DCOM: no success (remains "starting")
| - Security Centre: same error as during startup
| - WIA: is started (automatically, a few minutes after it first failed)
| - Fltmgr: is not a service, don't know how to start it manually
|
| Then I ran msconfig, unchecked ALL non-MS services and restarted. This
went
| much quicker but gave same errors in event viewer.
| To be honest, I have one error before all the others (I thought it was
| irrelevant, as it relates to Daemon Tools, a DVD Simulator)

| After startup, I get the following error on screen:

| This program requires at least Windows 2000 with SPTD 1.21 or higher.

|
| By the way, I have Windows XP SP1. But I recently installed SP2
(triggered

off my
