Un-installed Program Remembers Previous Obsolete Installation Path ?

Hello,

I am having great difficulty re-installing Net Fusion Objects (NOF).
Upon re-installation under an administration account it operates
correctly. However in a Power User account it gives the known
"Incorrect version of FSI.dll detected, please re-install" error and
halts, and it recreates the first installation path and sets up a user
profile there. The Power User account has full control permissions for
the NOF folder.

Re-installing does not work, and I have tried regsvr32 for the
fsi.dll and related DLLs which returns error messages, installed SP3
in case any DLL updates were required, run sfc.exe ("scans all
protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct
Microsoft versions"), deleted remaining register entries for *netobj*
(but not *msnetobj*), and deleted any documents and settings files/
folders related to *netobj*.

How does NOF remember its first installation path and does anyone
have ideas other than those mentioned on how to solve the fsi.dll
problem ?

Thank you,

DH

Perhaps the uninstall program does not clear out all of the registry entries
for the program. That is where an installer would add default locations
etc.

Hello Jim,

that was my thought too so I searched the registry for netobj and
fusion entries and removed them if they appeared to be for NetObjects.
I also looked for entries with a unique keyword that was used in the
original installation path however I was unable to find such an entry,
nor in documents and settings folders. NOF still created the original
folder after each un-install/re-install. It is quite a mystery how
this information is stored and yet cannot be found even under a search
for a unique keyword.
