Can someone please help me? For the sake of full disclosure – I screwed up. There is a problem with my registry that I cannot resolve. While trying to repair a program that was already installed(QuickBooks) the re-installation failed. I couldn’t uninstall or repair the program. I ran Windows Registry Repair Pro and the problem got worse. I think I may have corrupted other areas of my registry. Now I can’t install or uninstall any programs (everthing else seems fine). I have restored backup registries, used windows system restore, unregistered/regserver msiexec, installed MSI 4.5, manually entered path info in the MSIServer registry values, accessed dozens of support sites and tried all their solutions — and noting works. I have been down since last week. I am a tax preparer and I must install my tax software. I am desperate. Call me all the names you like, have a laugh on me, but can anyone help me? Mea Culpa.
