Default Cannot Install or Uninstall Applications

I have Windows XP Professional service pack 2 installed. I cannot install
some applications or uninstall some applications. I can't put my finger on
why some and not others. The install or uninstall process starts but never
finishes. What could be causing this?

Default RE: Cannot Install or Uninstall Applications

Hi

Maybe some applications cannot install because they are not compatible with
Windows XP Professional. Check for programs that are compatible with Windows
XP Professional. Most applications require an uninstaller program to
uninstall while some other programs need a CD to use to uninstall properly.
If the uninstaller of a program stops in the middle of the process maybe it
could be that it is partially corrupted or missing some files needed to
uninstall.

Hope this helps you.
