While trying uninstall and re-install Microsoft antispyware, I am getting
"Internal Error 2753 ".
When searched, there is no GcasInstallHelper.exe file on my hard drives. I
am disappointed to see the MS released such a buggy program.
Recommendation on how to fix would be appreciated. Craig

Craig:

It's a beta!!! You have to be prepared for buggy programs when you run beta
programs on a production machine!

I understand that. I hope that MS releases a patch or hotpick to tackle
this embarrassing problem.

"gcasInstallHelper.exe" is a process belonging to the Microsoft AntiSpyware product.
Apparently, your download is corrupt. Please download the program again!

| What a shame on Microsoft!

I have already downloaded the file a month ago. That worked when installed
for the first time. That files caused Error 27537 now when I tried
uninstall or re-install.

So I downloaded again ("run") yesterday directly from Microsoft site. I got
the same the error 2753.
It appears that I must clean-install WinXP pro again because of this damn
file.
What a waste of my time for this.

Hey friend, don't install beta software if you're not prepared to deal with
the possible consequences. Microsoft makes it very clear that its
antispyware program is (for now) an unfinished product.
 
No, apparently you do not understand about betas.

Good luck!

Craig beta software is software that is 'still under development' and, as
such, isn't stable enough for general use. From time to time Microsoft
release beta software to the general public so they can get the 'feel' of
what the product will be like. They also receive valuable feedback, via the
newsgroups, from these general public releases.
Unfortunately, beta software can work like a dream on one machine and not
work at all on another. For that reason beta software should only be used on
a 'test' machine. By test machine i mean a machine that isn't used for
general use or contains data that you cannot afford to loose.
There have been many beta instances where i and many other beta testers have
had to completely reinstall windows xp because of problems with certain beta
builds.
Beta's are tempremental and bugs can occur that may take months to correct.
It is only when everything is running as near perfect as it can be that
Microsoft release the beta to manufacturer for mass production/distribution.
If you don't have a test machine or can't afford to have your pc go down or
act up because of buggy software then it is best, for the time being, to
stick to the standard, tried and tested anti spyware software Ad-Aware and
Spybot.
Think of betas as a prototype car. You wouldn't drive one until you knew it
was safe for you and your family to travel from A to B without it breaking
down. Beta software does break down, very unexpectedly and for no apparent
reason.
Like the protoype car, eventually everything will be fixed and you will have
more confidence in the product. Until then if it's not working how you think
it should be remove it from your system.
