Removing Corrupted program
I installed publisher 2000 on WinXP and it worked fine. I just tried to run
it and got a message, "Can't run because Win can't find MHPutilU.dll. I reinstalled and get the same message. I copied the file into the folder I installed the program. Still no run. I tried to uninstall using Add/Remove Programs. Can't do that because Win can't find the Works Services File. I can't install it in another folder because the registery keeps sending setup to the current folder. I deleted execute files I could find on the computer and then tried to delete all the keys and values that were obviously associated with this program but that changed nothing. I'm sure I didn't get them all. My problem is compounded by mistakingly installing the program into a folder without creating a specific folder for Publisher so the files are mixed with a host of other files. Pathetic I know, but would appreciate any ideas about how I can remove the corrupted program (or at least enough of it) so I can reinstall it into the programs folder. -- Tony |

Removing Corrupted program
-- Tony The program is Microsoft Home Publishing Suite 2000. I didn't have a problem with it installed in Win2000 or XP. After not using it for a while, it responded as I indicated. I don't have Norton Crashguard or Dr Watson installed on this computer but I do have Norton Internet Security. I only deleted registry items after I couldn't remove or install the program, and only then removed those keys and values obivously associatied with Home Publishing. The symtoms remained the same. Windows installer only gives the option of reinstalling to the same directory and even after reinstalling, the same symptoms remain. I'll certainly study the knowledge articles to see I can install and run this program again. "John Inzer" wrote: Tony wrote: I installed publisher 2000 on WinXP and it worked fine.

Removing Corrupted program
Appreciate the help.
Since I have previously manually deleted many of the registery and program files, the windows installer utility doesn't detect the Home Publsher installation. The other suggested solutions haven't changed my remaining problem. When I insert the setup disk, windows installer only gives me the option if installing the program in the same folder and not a folder of my choice, like "Programs" the default location, if I remenber correctly. Even if I install it in the same folder, the program shows the error messages previously described when run. Is there a registery key that keeps sending installer to the original folder and if so, can anyone tell me where in the registry I might find it?
