i uninstalled version 2.04 and when i try to install version 2.05.0000.1082
i get this message "This version of MSN Search Toolbar is already installed
on your computer. CLick OK to cancel this installation."

i tried removing all entries from the registry that point to c:\Program
Files\MSN Toolbar Suite\... but still get the message.

can anybody share how to completely uninstall? or something. the
installation doesnt even run now.

i think if you go in the registry, in the HITKEY_LOCAL_Machine\Software
and try deleteing all registry keys, also if you do a search for MSN Search
to delete all keys related to MSN might work too. Becareful remember when you
delete something in the registry it can not be undone.

Thank you Eric.
i went thru deleting the keys in the registry but forgot the ones you
mention. i was searching for the directory name where the program is
installed
"\Program files\MSN toolbar suite\".
thank you for the hint. i will attempt it again.

i solved it:
as Eric (below) suggested, in the registry, deleted all references to:
MSN Toolbar Suite
MSN Search
RSSearch

rebooted the machine like three times and waited until the system stopped
accesing the hard disk - to make sure it was done loading

Unpluged machine from internet
turned off Antivirus and Firewall

then run install - this time it worked. i think it was the antivirus that
prevented access to the registry.
