Hello,
I tried to install formsplayer version 1.6.1028-dev (http://www.formsplayer.com/install/formsplayer?latestrelease=1,6,1028) , but nothing happened, except the message "formsPlayer is being downloaded and installed. Please wait.".
Formsplayer version number was blank.
mscomctl.ocx and mscomct2.ocx are on Vindows/system32 directory and registered successfully via regsvr32.
No new files on my PC's directories.
On Administrative Tools->Event Viewer->Application there was a msiInstaller message "Product: MSXML 6.0 Parser -- Configuration failed.".
Any idea what could be wrong?
BR, Tapio
An existing thread may help you
Hi, have you seen the comments #12 and #13 in this thread? They describe upgrading/downgrading formsPlayer.
Installation still hanging
Hello,
thanks for supposing an existing thread, but I have already checked the issues there :
- NO files or directories found with (wildcarded) names *formsplay* ,*sidewind* or *x-port* on my PC
- NO items with these names found within registry (used regedit/find)
- NO formsplayer visible in Windows Add/Remove programs list
- following is a slice of apache access_log after I tried my formsplayer-powered HTML, no formsplayer id visible in GET request:
nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn - - [12/May/2008:10:48:24 +0300] "GET /xx/xxxxxx_update.html HTTP/1.1" 304 - "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; InfoPath.1; MS-RTC LM 8)"
My installation still won't succeed, always the same quiet (wait...) results, the installation wizard will not start, booting will not help.
My colleague, who had never used formsplayer, downloaded and installed it for the first time on XP/IE6 without problems.
I have used fp older versions until now, so it still seems that some older version has left something hidden in my PC,
but I have no idea where to look... any more ideas ?

Going back to your original
Going back to your original post, maybe it's MSXML that's the problem? If after uninstalling formsPlayer, there's still an entry for MSXML in your add/remove programs, you could try uninstalling that too. Then try a clean install of formsPlayer.
formsPlayer install problem solved
Thanks, alexsansom !
You suggested the right route to solve this - but, as too often with MS products, it wasn't quite easy.
Here's what I did:
I had 2 entries of MSXML6 on my PC, 1 "normal" and 1 update item (KB933579), I assume it had come with some MS security patch.
Using Add/Remove programs, I first removed the update item, no problems with that.
Then I tried to remove the original MSXML6, but remove failed with reply "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed.". Dead end there.
After some googling I found some issues like this on MSDN Forum.

was a suggestion to use program called "Windows Installer Cleanup Utility ", downloadable from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301.
I downloaded it, used it to remove MSXML6, and it worked.
After that, formsPlayer installed without problems.
Thanks again
