Hi,

I hope someone can help me with this. I recently restarted my computer which I often have to do because it freezes a lot ... anyway one time recently I had to restore my registry ... there were some changes- which I expected re: shortcuts, etc. Anyway, my Adaware shortcut was gone and I could not find the program except for the file containing the logfiles. I recently downloaded the latest adaware personal (which is compatible with win98) but when I tried to install it I go this message right away:

"Error1721. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."

Could someone please help me get around this so I can install adaware again?

Thank you in advance to anyone who can aid me in thie.

Hmm, error 1721 and Windows 98 is pretty much undocumented.

This might help, download this and give it a run, restart the computer and try install Adware again.

Thanks for the response, but it did not work. I got a message saying "the specified service already exists" when I tried to run it. Any more ideas?

Thanks!

(update)

I guess that these programs are a sort of zipped set that unzips itself ... when i used winrar to extract the files it worked fine and i just added a shortcut to the new file. Works fine now ... not sure what the problem was before but it is fixed now.

Thanks for your help!
