Install problem sonicstage 3.4

[el0gic]

I downloaded the full ss3.4 from this website. On installing, I got some error messages:

from Execute: "c:\windows\temp\ss34\instmsia\msiinst.exe",

the error message - "The specified service already exists"

from WMP: 9.0.0.2980, 1,

the error message - "Please update Windows Media Player to version 7.1 or newer"

In the details, the last two lines read:

Execshell: open "http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download"

Detected 9.0.0.2980, Windows Media Player 7.1 or newer requiered

(sic)

Then setup stops. I have windows media player 9, on windows me, and everything works fine. I tried reinstalling media player, restarting the computer, and uninstalling old sonicstage (1.5), but no luck either way (in any order). I installed from the same exe on a computer with xp and it was fine.

Delete SonicStage first --> then install WMP10 OR WMP11BETA --> then install SonicStage again

The version of WMP you should install depends on the OS you are useing...

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsme...es/default.aspx for Windows Media Player 9 Series (for Windows 98 SE, Windows Millennium Edition, and Windows 2000)

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsme...10/default.aspx For Xp

and http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsme...11/default.aspx If you don't mind beta software

I have windows me, so 9 series is my maximum. It was already installed, and I did reinstall it.

[danielbb90]

there is 3 options that I can see...

Try version 7.1 http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsme...n7/default.aspx (downgrade)

Or try downloading version 9 install that - there might have been a minor update in it since the last download - and try then...

Or try Sonic Stage CP 4.0 http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=9586

I uninstalled WMP, and then installed v7.1 - ss34 wouldn't install. I uninstalled again and installed v9 - ss34 still wouldn't install. I can't see why this isn't working. Are there conflicts with windows me? Is there a way to bypass the version identification procedure or trick it?

The target computer isn't connected to the net, so ss4 isn't an option.
