Cal,
Thanks for that suggestion. Unfortunately, MSN Money Deluxe is not
accessible from the link in the article.

I did follow everything in the first article you cited.

Do you think the Microsoft paid support would have an answer? I would pay
if I knew they could resolve it.

I am wondering where the installer popups are getting the info if I have
supposedly wiped all "significant" signs of Money from the computer. (there
are soem registry entries I saw when perusing the registry that I did not
remove since the article did not ask me to do so.)

thoughts? Here is the event error I see most.

Detection of product '{E7298FD5-1386-11D5-8D6C-0050DAD32D95}', feature
'feat.Program' failed during request for component
'{F384A307-E20F-11D4-8CC5-0050DAD32D95}'

ALso am seeing this one sometimes:

Detection of product '{CF5193F7-6B37-11D5-B7D2-00AA00A204F1}', feature
'feat.SystemPerm' failed during request for component
'{C50ED491-8358-4351-89DA-33E1EF15BE2A}'

seems to take a different approach in its method 2. Seems worth a
shot, if the other did not help.

Please help.

EXTENSIVE BACKGROUND
I used to have Money 2002 and it worked just fine. After installing SP2
over one year ago, I kept getting mysterious popups about inserting the Money
CD. After a while, I thought if I purchased Money 2006, it would fix the
problem, so that's what I did in August.

BUT, my computer would not allow me to install 2006 because 20202 could not
be uninstalled through normal means. I have been advised in orther posts to
manually remove Money 2002 foloowing several kb articles. I have done this.
There is no trace of Money as far as I can tell, except some registry
entries. (but not the ones I was told to remove)

STILL, I continue to get annoyoing windows installer popups (though less
frequent)and I still cannot install Money 2006 or even reinstall Money 2002
as both generate an error "setup bootstrapper has encountered a problem" and
demand to be closed.

I have already tried the Windows INstall Cleanup Utility. Money is not one
of the choices on the list.

I have also done a chkdsk and even purchased & run Registry mechanic.

Please tell me what is the next step to resolve this? I desperately need to
put SOME version of Money back on my PC.

Thank you for your time.
