RE: windows installer trying to find a program

[JAB]

I have spent the whole day trying to fix the same problem. I am unable to
access my HP Image Zone and I cannot get the durn thing to go away! I too
tried to find a file named Photo Gallery to delete it without having any
success finding the file. I had purchased and installed a new program
called Reg Cure this morning. It scanned my computer files and found more
than 1000 errors on my computer After I hit fix errors this monster (Photo
Gallery) showed up on my screen. I have written to be reimbursed for that
program as I removed it from my computer. It is really working on my last
nerve. Have you found a way to fix this? JAB

Reg Cure HMmmmm. Do not use any reg tools. It can create many problems (you are seeing one of them) and by trying to clean the Registry you will not gain anything at all.

Meanwhile see the following.

I'm glad i check this posting before purchasing Reg Cure. i got the error
1772 when installing a sample test from the AICPA website I was just about
to purchase Reg Cure, but instead i decided to check the microsoft website
and found this postings. I downloaded the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility
like you recommended, removed the problem, reinstalled my sample test files,
and i saved $30.
Thanks!!
