Hi,
can you help?
I have tried numerous times to install Media Connect and the installation
keeps failing.
It goes through the motions of installing and then at the last bit just when
you think its loaded the message I get is:-
"The installation failed, and the rollback has been performed. -->The
specified service already exists"
No it doesn't.
I did have an issue with .Net Framework but that has been resolved.
I am inclined to think that there is probably something in the registry
causing an issue where it believes it is loaded but I am not sure hence this
request for assistance.

Any help would surely be appreciated.
Regards
Gaz

I've seen a number of installation problems around atl.dll.  I don't have
enough infomration from your original message to confirm that this is the
problem in your case, but it couldn't hurt to check.

Do you have atl.dll in your SYSTEM32 directory?  If so, could you try a
regsvr32 on it and retry the install?

Let me know how that goes.

Hi Alan,
Yes, atl.dll does exist in system32.
I have run at cmd "regsvr32 atl.dll" which then registered.  Tried
installing windows media connect and again same problem!

Any other ideas

That has worked for a number of people.  I don't have any other ideas.  Do
you have any more specific information about the error?

No I don't sorry.

Would you have any idea what is installed during the setup so I could
possibly try removing these items manually?
