  1. Windows really wants to install old version of program. How do I make it stop?


    The server an IIS is running Windows Server 2019. After rebooting on 12/10, it decided that it wanted to reinstall a package, but couldn't probably because it required Windows Installer 3.1, which is probably no longer on the machine. It's an ASP.Net application, written in Visual Studio 2010. We fired up one of our last copies of 2010, updated the installer, and generated a new MSI file. The old version of the application was uninstalled, and we installed the new one. Now we get errors that the old version can't be installed because there's a new one. While this is good, we're still getting

    Clean Install Workaround for Vista

    You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:
    • Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
    • When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
    • Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
    • When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
    • This time enter your product key
    • When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
    • Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it
    Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.
