Hello, I've a problem to (re)install Apache http-Server on Windows XP professional. Because I want to try the release 2.x I installed it. After installation I wasn't satisfied with the installation path and I've uninstalled the Apache Server with the Windows Tools (Start > System > Software etc.). Trying to reinstall the Apache Server ending always with the message "Installation interrupted...". It seems that something from msi hanging in the registry or at another point. I've cleaned the registry complete from all entries like "apache". I've deleted also all tempory files in the windows directory and also in the users directory. I've deleted all paths from apache. Also the experiment to reinstall Apache 1.3.33 ending at the point "Installation interrupted...". Perhaps anyone have an idea from which point msi got the information, that an installtion of apache was done. Searching in the internet shows me, that not only a view people have the problem with this error message but I didn't found a good solution. Thanks in advance for any help.
