Various apps not working
« on: December 30, 2004, 08:11:59 PM »
Hey, I was running out of drive space so I uninstalled lots of old applications. I didn't THINK I did anything harmful, but now when I try to run Visual Basic or various other EXE's, 2 windows pop up.

"Windows Installer"
Preparing to install...

"This MSI must be launched through setup."
Setup.

Then nothing happens.
Please help, I think I deleted something!
If I need like a dll or ocx file, or whatever, and you are willing to send it to me, my AIM is "glomitri" and my email is "[email protected]"

Thank you for your help!

PS, sorry I didnt notice this before, it says that MSCOMCTL.OCX is missing or invalid. (It says that after I click "OK" on the install box a few times.

    It sounds like you've uninstalled some files needed. I would reinstall Visual Basic and hope it reinstalls the missing files.
