Can't install 2.5, dagnabit.

I am running sp3 and can not update to 2.5. I removed the previous version of Hog 3 PC using the MS uninstall tool, as described in the technote. When I try to install 2.5 it goes through all the motions until the end of the process when it says it is "rolling back action" and then does not "alter my system."

I tried taking my system back to sp2, reinstalling and then uninstalling hog 3 pc (version 2.4). And then reinstalling sp3. And then reinstalling hog 3 pc 2.5 with the same bitter results. What a huge waste of time.

At the moment the only versions of hog 3 pc I can run on this machine are very old and from the disks I got with my system.....version 1.4.

Can anyone think of something else to try, short of reinstalling windows altogether ?

thanks for your thoughts,

    After reading a post from someone who had the same problem, but with version 2.4.0, I tried their solution - installing without the FPS loopback adapter - and it worked. So my issue was not SP3 related as I had thought. I spent my initial troubleshooting time in that direction because of the technote and all the related posts.

    Too bad the installer couldn't give me an error message indicating the cause of the failure. Or proceeded with the install and simply informed me that it was not necessary to install the loopback adapter. It would have saved me a bunch of time. Perhaps in the next incarnation.

    thank you again for your helpful post, Quinn.
