Hi,


I installed apache_2.0.61-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi  successfully.


Then I deleted (removed) apache_2.0.61-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi  .


Now I try to install apache_2.0.61-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi   again


and get the error message above.


Any idea? Thank you!



My system,

XP SP2                 Professional version 2002

Pentium 4    3.00 GHz

please copy the .mdi file maually back in place.
never delete the .msi file of an installed software part
it then can't be removed, nor "over-installed" because of registry settings telling windaube that an .msi file is REQUIRED oer that software.

Dear Mentor


Would you kindly elaborate more?



When I go to C:\Documents and Settings\User\desktop,



I have apache_2.0.61-win32-x86-no_ssl(3).




Where do I get .mdi file?




In  which folder do I place .mdi file?




Thanks!

hello,

You wrote "I deleted (removed) apache_2.0.61-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi" so I assumed you knew where to put that file back in place.

If not, then I'm sorry but it depends on your OS version, platform, language, and user settings ;-)
the correct answer is "where you had put it at the time you installed the software"

in my case, I have .msi files in c:\winnt\installer
in %winnt%\ServicePackFiles\i386 - that's probably not for you
also in "downloaded installations", again under %WINNT%
and finally, of course, in c:\documents and settings\<profilename>\local settings\Temp - it's probabyl not a bad idea to start there -
I also have some in %WINNT%\system32

have fun ;-)

Dear Mentor,

Please bear with me.


I am a bit retard as far as windoz is concerned.


I started with

http://www.expertsrt.com/tutorials/Matt/install-apache.html



I went to

http://ftp.mirror.tw/pub/apache/httpd/binaries/win32/

I downloaded apache_2.0.61-win32-x86-no_ssl(4)

And apache_2.0.61-win32-x86-no_ssl(4) was saved under

C:\Documents and Settings\User\desktop

And there was no .mdi file under C:\Documents and Settings\User\desktop

So I am stuck. Please be kind enough to take me by the hand.


My system XP SP2                 Professional version 2002

???

the file you downloaded is apache_2.0.59-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi and it's an "MSI Installer Package"
this is the .msi file i'm writing about repeatedly ;-)
you've a ***slight chance*** of being able to uninstall Apache by copying/saving the downloaded file back in the same place (ie, the place you deleted it from)

do you get it ?

there's no guarantee that this'll work though.

an other solution is just to reinstall, and then uninstall. Or you can use a "registry cleaner" program (one able to remove settings pertaining to unistalled programs, ie "left overs") ; there are some available on the Web.

good luck

I tried and did not work.



I tried registry cleaner and was presented with many registry issues (failures).


I decided not to mess with the registry and went ahead to download


.exe file.



And it is working.



Thank you for your help!
