Note:

If an earlier HotFix has been installed on a Vista workstation, you may see one of the following messages when attempting to apply HotFix4 or uninstall the product. 


"This action is only valid for products that are currently installed"

"The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation"

"This setup will perform an upgrade of 'Imaging for Windows R 4.0'. Do you want to continue?"


This is due to corruption of the MSI database caused by a flaw (since corrected) in the installer development system.

To correct this, take the following steps logged on as an administrator_

-Download the 'Windows Installer CleanUp Utility' from 'http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301'. Choose to Save.

-Run the downloaded utility installer by right clicking the downloaded file and choosing 'Run as administrator'.

-Choose 'Windows Install Clean Up' from the 'All Programs' menu and 'Allow' to trust the program.

-Select 'Imaging for Windows' from the list of MSI installs, click 'Remove' and then 'OK' to proceed. When control returns, exit the utility.

-Launch Windows Explorer and navigate to 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Global 360'. Select the 'Imaging' subfolder and delete.

-Run regedit.exe and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDLLs.


If the Run command is unavailable on the Start Menu, right click the Start button and choose Properties; On the Start Menu tab, choose Customize, find the 'Run command' entry in the list and check to enable. Exit with OK, OK.


-Delete every Value in the 'SharedDLLs' key that begins 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Global 360\Imaging'. Exit Regedit.

-You should now be able to reinstall Imaging and go on to apply HotFix4.


You may see a dialog entitled "Evaluation Period" while re-installing Imaging on a machine where it was properly registered. Leave the Serial Number field blank and click Install to continue. The registration will remain valid.
