Re: CA Express V5R1 to V5R2 upgrade messed up

Philipp,

Thanks.  I went searching.  This page (search on MS main page for
"Regclean") says it's no longer available:
http://search.microsoft.com/default.asp?boolean=ALL&nq=NEW&so=RECCNT&ig=01&ig=02&ig=03&ig=04&ig=05&ig=06&ig=07&ig=08&ig=09&ig=10&i=00&i=01&i=02&i=03&i=04&i=05&i=06&i=07&i=08&i=09&qu=Regclean&siteid=us

and the only one I found was to clean up entries for Outlook:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q256219

I'll take a look at this:

Hello Neil,

you could also try to "clean" the registry of "old" keys by using the tool
Regclean from Microsoft. Latest version I have is 4.1 and is usually my
first try,
if an "uninstall" did not clean up everything properly.
You'll have to run it more than once until it doesn't find any more
"errors to fix",
then do a restart.
