Reinstall EMC 7 /7.5

[magjoe]

I bought it from a retail store, EMC operated OK. I then uninstalled then tried to reinstall. EMC would not open, then I tried to uninstall, but had to resort to using regedit to remove program. I have used disk cleanup and defraged, have plenty of disk space. Windows XP.

When I try to install it I get this error messager. "The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exist and that you can access it."

Same error when trying to install, re-install.

I am ready to toss EMC unless someone can help

Have to ask, did you allow MS to update you to IE7? If so, you will have to rollback to IE6 for EMC 7 to work.

 

 

Thanks for the reply. I am using IE6.0.2.

 

Another question that I guess doesn't help with your exact problem, but if you had the program installed and it was running great, why did you un-install it ? Or did you start having problems with the program or one of it's parts ? If you DID start having problems with one of the programs in the suite, what was it ?

I did not have problems, but I could not locate a project. Made some errors, then decided to uninstall.

I hate to say this but many times an OP will do something to his/her computer that has caused problems with Roxio's EMC program or other programs they have installed, and usually end up blaming EMC or the other programs. Many times what an OP does with the computer will cause problems like that. So, to me why not start out by removing the thing that caused the software problem, rather than assume the problem software was the culpert.

 

Compatability problems between hardware and software are getting to be more prominent each day now. MS is in a huge change with their updates and UPGRADES and it's really hard for hardware manufacturers to keep up with these changes as well as the software manufacturers.

Have you ever noticed when you install a new software program that many of the "regular" dll files that were being used by several other software programs, and working well, have now been changed just so the new software will run correctly ? Just changing some dll files required to run a software will really make other programs suffer.

 

Food for thought---
