I am getting the "The wizard was interrupted before Microsoft
ActiveSync 4.2 could be completely installed" error that other people
have written about in the past. I've tried the fixmapi idea but that
hasn't worked. I also tried v 4.5 and same thing.

Even though I get this error, it is still listed in Add/Remove
Programs. I tried to Remove it so I could try a clean reinstall but it
won't...it goes through the motions (it says it's removing v 4.5) but
then simply ends with a small "Fatal error during installation" box.

So I can't install it enough to use it, and I can't uninstall it. What
can I do?

Thanks.

I don't log in and I am the only user (there are no user accounts or
anything). So I guess, yes.
